Bos -8.5
City +1.5
Mia - over 215


Let's just see if anyone is paying attention.

3-2-3 yesterday in the NBA. 3 pushes on 1 card, insane.

Cavs/Bucks - under 195 (win)
Heat +2 (win)
ATL - +1.5 (win)

City/Lebrons - under 216 (win)
Minn -2 (fucking push)
Minn/Okc - under 194 (loss)

Fucking 3 up 2 down and 3 pushes. So fucking gay.

11/25 - Missed a couple days guys, sorry. Was down in Philly for the weekend and hit the Borgata in AC for some poker. Watched OU thrash TT and made some money on that game.



NBA:

Warriors -2.5 (loss)
Cavs/Knicks - Over 212 (win)
Suns -10.5 (loss)
Suns/Thunder - Under 202 (win)


*Disclaimer - I don't like much of anything about this card, but I also can't just sit on the sideline and watch these games without having some kind of action on them. So, I'm only betting $50 on each of these.

2 up and 2 down on the NBA last night.

Tonights picks:

Orl -2.5 (loss by a fucking half point)
Hou -7 (win)
Bos -6.5 (win)
Bucks -2 (win)
Clips +9 (win)
Spurs -4.5 (win)

3 team teaser
Bos +1.5 (win)
Rockets +1 (win)
Thunder +18.5

We go 4 of 5 again last night. Trying to keep it going. I've already updated the stats on the year, we're only at 54% ATS thus far. Not nearly what I've become accustomed to in the early part of the year. Rough start is killing me.

Celtics -6.5 (win)
Celtics/Pistons - Over 184 (loss)
Lakers -5.5 (win)
Lakers/Suns over 207 (loss)
Pitt - under 35 (loss)

2 up and 2 down on the night, missed both of the O/U's. Both those bets were probably stupid in hindsight.

We go 4 out of 5 last night including hitting the 3 team teaser. Nice.

Wiz +7 (win)
Raps +2.5 (win)
Mavs +3.5 (win)
Spurs +1 (loss)

Another EH night.


Heat +3.5 (loss)
ORL -6.5 (loss)
Suns -2 (win)
Spurs +2.5 (win)

Last night was fucking ridiculous. Indy up 26 and then fail to cover by 1. Suns fail to cover by 1. WTF. Lake Show completely falls apart. I blame the Laker fans because I hate them all anyway.


Tonight:

City +2.5 (win)
City/Clips over 202 (win)
Nets +9.5 (win)
Hornets +2 (loss)
Hornets/Rockets - over 181 (loss)


Who knew that the Hornets wouldn't even show up??!?!?!!


3-2 on the night. Another bullshit night.

Picks for 11/14

Utah -4 (loss) couldn't get off the bet
Ind -1 (up 26 and lose!!!!!!!)
ATL -3.5 (loss)
DEN +10 (win)
Spurs +6.5 (win)
Lakers -9.5 (loss)


Late desperation add PHX -3 (loss)


Well there goes the mini streak of good picks. :(

Tonight 11/13

Den+7 (loss)
Mavs -2 (loss)
Pistons -4.5 (win)

3 up and 1 down last night in the NBA. The risky under on a hot LA team was the only 1 that hurt me. Looking pretty good over the last 3 days with 11 out of 16 for 68.75% ATS. Hopefully we're back on track and we're seeing some more expected results. Struggling around and even slightly under 50% isn't how I generally start the season.

Enough bullshit, on to the picks for tonight: 3 up and 2 down tonight. The teaser is still in play.

ATL +10.5 (win)
IND -1.5 (win)
Jazz -3.5 (loss)
Spurs +2.5 (stupid retarded fucking collapse to fuck me)
Lakers +1.5 (win)


I like these matchups and this should be a profitable night of NBA action.


I jumped on the Miami OH bandwagon tue night and bet that game lightly just to tail the action. They were getting 17 (well, that's what I got in at) and close to game time the public was all moving in on Miami OH so I tailed it. Won $100 Tue night on that game. I'm not posting CFB, so this doesn't really matter.

The Niners. I just can't take it anymore ....


NBA Action for the night (4 up and 2 down last night):

Jazz +5 (win)
Den -3 (win)
Spurs -3.5 (win)
LA/DAL - under 199 (looks like a loss)

Having a great week of NFL and CFB action and a shit week of NBA action. Eh, what's a brotha to do.


NBA action for tonight: 4-2 on the night.

Por +7 (win)
Okc +11.5 (win)
Mem +11.5
Phx/Mem UNDER 197 (loss)
Tor +9 (win)
Tor/Bos - over 182.5 (loss)
Por/Orl over 191 (win)


MNF - Already on the Cardinals -9.5 (loss) - fucking niners.

Someone text'd me pointing out that I had incorrectly listed Ind +11.5 when I had intended to post OKC +11.5 in that game. It's all underdogs tonight.

Sunday NBA action:


Tor -4.5 (win)
Jazz -4 (loss)
Celtics pick em (win)
Hawks -4.5
Rockets +7.5

4 up 3 down last night on the 3 picks. Should have gotten a push in the Mavs game but a foul called with .4 fucked that up.

The Spurs fucked up the teasers, the late add teaser helped erase the losses from the early teasers.


Anyway, on to the picks for tonight.

Cle -1.5 (win)
Pho -5.5 (win)


And for a bit of fun

Wiz +17.5
Nets +15.5

Panthers -10 (win)

Phx and Bos come through.
Spurs fail to cover by 1 fucking point. I'm rapidly losing my patience with the Spurs inability to cover.
Warriors come through for me.
Memphis fails to cover by 1.5, cocksuckers.
I can't believe that Toronto couldn't handle a depleted Det squad.
Lakers/Clips goes over by 1 fucking point.

I really had high hopes for last night. I thought it was going to be a huge night, as it is I essentially push. That's gayer than tolomei staring at another man's cock.


Picks for 11/6 are coming up shortly.


Orl to cover (posting this late so I won't count it).
Hou -5.5

Decent night, hit on 2 out of the 3 plays. Can't believe the Spurs couldn't cover against a Dallas team that has been very hit or miss.



Picks for 11/5
Tor -4
Spurs -5
Grizz +3.5
Suns -4
Clips/Lakers under 193
Warriors -3.5

Yet another rough night in the NBA. Thank God for Pitt and the under paying out. That was $200 on Pitt and $400 on the under to save an otherwise horrible night.

Orl failed to cover when they had the game under control. Det covered which to me was obvious even without Chauncey. Memphis blew up and I didn't see that coming. Dallas just flat out sucks right now and I'll keep that in mind moving forward. The Clips was just a stupid bet on my part so I have nobody to blame on that one but myself.

My problem in the early going has been that I've been betting games for the action and not limiting my bets to only bets I really like. For the next week or so I'm just going with games I really like and leaving the extra plays alone to try and get my record back where it should be.

PHX - 5.5
BOS +2.5
SAS -4

Yes I like all of those games.

Didn't get my NFL picks posted in time so I won't bother listing them here.

I'll be back on the NFL action tomorrow when lines are open.

NBA for Monday night:

Warriors -1.5
Mavs -2.5
Pistons -6

Adding:
Orl -7
Clips +6.5

MNF:

Steelers +2.5
Over 37 (betting twice the game on the under)

Another half ass night in the NBA. This fucking blows, I'm usually very strong in the early season, but there's been a lot of shockers this year.

Boston fucked me.
Dallas did the expected.
Lakers, Philly and Miami fucked me.
The Hornets and Toronto were obvious plays and they paid out.

Went 3 up and 4 down on the night.


I'll look at Sunday's picks tomorrow morning, too pissed to do it now. At least my Rockets are 3-0.


Was traveling today and didn't make any bets.

Well that fucking sucked.

Tonight's picks:

Boston -6
Dallas -4.5
Lakers -8.5
Miami +3
Philly +3.5
Nor -3
Tor +1

10-31 picks

Last night the only thing that went wrong was Dallas not covering in their home opener against a Rockets team on a back to back. Too much Yao and Ron Ron for a soft Mavs team. Dirk got his, but the Mavs couldn't stop anybody in the second half and the Rockets pulled away. 2-0, nice start for my boys!

Hornets smashed the Suns who were on a back to back. Over paid out.
The over for the Rockets/Mavs paid out.

3-1 on the night and back on the winning track.

Picks for tonight:
Knicks +8
Knicks/Philly over 214 (risky)
Clippers +2 (Melo is out and Camby isn't expected to play either)
Clips/Nugs OVER 199.5
Spurs -1.5
Orlando -7



plus another 3 team teaser (+8)

Knicks +15
Celtics -2
Raptors +1

$400 to win $363.64


College Football

Appalachian State -1.5 because I CAN!! :eek3:

Picks for 10-30

Rough night last night.
Heat got blown out. Over got blown out. Several people I talked to disagreed with me on the Knicks game and apparently they were right.
Hornets sit Paul for 9+ minutes and fail to cover by a half point. This was the right bet, it just didn't pan out.
The late add on the Lakers paid out, but the clips couldn't find their ass in the second half and fucked me on the OVER.
Utah did go under, about the only thing that went as expected.

THANK GOD FOR THE BIG BET ON THE TEASER!!! That saved the night financially, but the percentages took a big hit. Oh well, that's gambling.

Went 3-5 on the night. At least the Phillies won and that paid out.


NBA picks will be finalized later.

Hornets/Suns - Over 195
Rockets/Mavs - Over 191
Mavs -4.5


Late Add

Hornets +3

NBA picks for 10-30

Heat +3
Heat/Knicks - UNDER 208.5
Hornets -5.5

Jazz/Nugs - UNDER 210

I also like the Teaser VRR posted so I'm on that also:

Miami Heat +11
Detroit Pistons -2
New Orleans Hornets +2½
$400 to win $363.64

Late add:

Lakers -9
Lakers over 198


Yesterday's posted picks went 4-0.

NBA picks for 10-29

Cle +7
Bos/Cle - UNDER
Lakers/Portland - UNDER
Lakers -8

What's good bitches?!

Post 1 definitely has to be my thoughts on my Houston Rockets for the 08/09 NBA season.

First off, I love the Ron Ron acquisition. The Rockets are working with a small window to win and NOW is the time. Trading Rudy Gay away on draft day 2 years ago for Shane Battier definitely told you all you needed to know about the Rockets need to win NOW. Gay is a tremendous talent but Management didn't want to wait on him to mature and felt Shane could contribute NOW (and he has). Looking at it now, I'm still upset that we didn't keep Gay as he's matured into a nice talent much faster than Rocket management expected. Anyway, that being said I think Ron Ron brings a great defensive presence to the Rockets. He's still a very good perimeter defender, he's got a great post up game both offensively and defensively and he can also stretch defenses as he's become a more prolific 3 point shooter in the last few seasons. (note - He's hit more 3 pointers in the last 2 full NBA seasons than he has in any other years in his career. He's also averaged around 37% from long range).

Ron Ron figures to see a lot of minutes in a lot of games especially if (as this blogger expects) Yao Ming and or Tracy McGrady miss games this season. Let's be honest here, neither are exactly iron men at this point. Yao misses games like Ben Wallace misses FT's and Tmac is headed down the same path. Look for Artest to come up big this season if called upon to play big minutes.

I look for the Rockets to capitalize on the depth they have in the front court by playing Scola, Landry and Hayes in roles off the bench. Scola proved last year that he's a solid play and certainly not your typical NBA "rookie". Landry was huge when he got minutes down the stretch last season and is a much better play than Chuck Hayes in my opinion. I look for Landy to take most of Hayes minutes if the knee is solid. (There was some offseason drama as management insisted that he have all sorts of opinions and exams on his knee before talking contract. They finally matched an offer and kept the guy on the squad and I think that was an outstanding move. I love this guy being in the roatation; his per minute numbers last season were OFF THE HOOK!). Additional side note: PER is straight garbage and John Hollinger should be shot in the face for perpatrating such a fraud on NBA fans.

Guard play - Ok, this isn't a strength, but it is what it is. Skip has proven that he will make up for his terrible percentages with sheer volume. He's going to hit 100+ 3's, we can all agree on that, but he'll probably shoot 37% or less while doing it. The guy shoots something like 35% from behind the arc for his career. He's going to have to play big minutes as the guys behind him aren't impressive. Luther Head is certainly unspectacular, he's essentially another 3 point shooter and with the Brent Barry signing I'd rather see Barry launching the 3's as he's a straight sharp shooter when he's got his feet set. Aaron Brooks is an exciting scorer but really hasn't shown the ability to distribute or defend. Stevie Franchise is better off kicking reporters at this point as he hasn't shown any signs that he's ready to contribute.

It's still very much Yao and Tmac's team but Ron can and will be a huge plus for the Rockets. Great role players like Skip, Scola and Landry should help the Rockets to 50+ wins again in an ultra-competitive Western Conference.

I'm going to stick my neck out here and go on record saying that this is the year that Tmac gets out of the first round. BELIEVE THAT.
