  1. Back to business tomorrow with one play:

    INDIANA -4 (the Pacers will get it done tonight and close out the series with a double digit win)

    Opinion:

    DALLAS +3.5 (the road team has covered every game, and I don't see that trend changing tomorrow; the Mavs just might win this SU; it should be a tight game)

    Yesterday's Opinions: 0-2

    Losses:

    CHICAGO -4

    DENVER +9.5 (I'm glad I stayed away b/c I would have been very bitter seeing that Ginobli nailed four free throws in the final 30 seconds; the oddsmakers were right on with this spread as they were last night with the Detroit and Seattle spreads)

    Playoff Record: 8-6-1

    SPECIAL PLAYS: 4-0-1

    Money Line Record (Units): 6-4 (+0.85 Units)

    Opinions: 10-12-1

    TQ, Wardawg, & MBallor,

    Nice call on the Wizards!!!

    Honicky,

    I haven't followed much baseball, but very nice call on the D-Rays as they blew up my garbage Yanks for the second night in a row!!!!!

  4. Happy night for me... But not resting on any laurels. Have to keep making gains and making up for a disappointing April. Plus the fact that once the NBA is over, I'll be taking a long rest from serious gambling til the NFL season.

    So on with it. No prizes for guessing what I'm on tonight...

    Pacers -4 ** (have been pretty much keeping all plays 2* this past week - at least that way I dont put myself in a hole if losing... like BP says, its a marathon not a sprint)

    do I need to explain this? I just like a team that can play a little D-Fence!

    plus with Tinsley back how can you not like the Pacers in front of a raucous Conseco crowd. JD I have called it right for tonight - Pacers by a dozen.

    if u absolutely must play the Texas duo, I plump for Houston - partly cause I need them to win their series to hit my 4 team accum of Pacers/Seattle/Washington & Houston Series parlay 25 wins 600

    GO HOUSTON!!

  5. Ok so maybe I shouldn't post here. 0-2 on my frist day and it didn't get better as I also laid on the nuggets getting 9.5. The Bulls made for a very bad day yesterday. If I had known that there plan was to go down by 20 and see if they could come back, I probably wouldn't have taken them. The twins obviously miss rincon and that cost me as well. HOping to make a little comeback today.

    Best bet: -125 - Bosox. Jason johnson is one pitcher that i go against every time out (him and kirk rueter) and boston is jsut crushing the ball -- especially against righties.

    2 other picks

    Over in the Cubs game: 9 - glover should get smoked and maddux is always good to give up 3 or 4 runs.

    Twins: -110 - gonna try again with the twinkies. I don't like going against CC but i think that it just gives me a better line this time out.

    good luck.

  8. I feel used after yesterday. The atlanta under pushes b/c of an error. Ouch. The Angels/M's score 6 runs in the first 3 innings and 1 in the next 6, OUCH. Oh well at least the DRays come through again. I have to go out of town for a death in the fam so I won't be posting for a few days. Today I do like:

    DRays again +155 (5 units) Why are the Yanks still favored by this large # on the road w/ a rookie pitching. I'll take the DRays again, they hit nicely the last 2 days at a real nice + clip. Let's ride the Rays and fade the Yanks

  9. So it pretty much looks as if the Pacers will shut down the Celtics and proceed into the second round....I have to disagree, although I do believe Pacers take this series but not tonight..

    NBA

    Boston Celtics +4.5

    peace

  11. pulled out tough games with the sox and the cubs over and had an easy twins victory. 3-0 in the afternoon after yesterdays disaster.

    tonight:

    Not too high on either NBA game. If i had to pick, i'd go Celts and Mavs. But I will not make either a pick. SO:

    Cards -180

    Braves -170

    I really don't like laying those odds but i like the games too much to lay off.

    The Pads can't hit and are just not half as talented as the cards. I know morris has pitched against some weak competition so far so i am not taking this based no him. The padres are overmatched everywhere (except RP with linebrink and otsuka) so I have to lay the big number.

    Houston offense is even more anemic than the Pads. I know they've been hitting as of late but that is the exception - not the norm. atlanta is great at home and backe is awful on the road. again, i have to lay the line.

    good luck

  13. Happy Cinco De Mayo..In Florida..we celebrate Cinco De Mayo, Seis de Mayo, Siete de Mayo, ..you feelin me?

    Anyways, got two for the group tonight:

    Dallas/Houston under 200...Trust me and take it. I'm a lot like Takis when he says I'll never post again if it hits. This play is money.

    MLB:

    If you have the nuts (or if your female and you deisire a set of nuts) roll with me on Houston +165 tonight.

    Good luck all, these two plays are not for the feint of heart. Roll or don't I dont' care. Good luck and slam the man.
