Not Playing By the Book
February 6, 2008
110% Signup Bonus and More! Many people are mechanical at the table, but sometimes you have to realize that not playing poker by the book can be a bigger benefit to you. Once I am actually involved in the hand then most of my actions after the flop will be automatic, or almost anyway. Therefore, most of my decisions in No Limit Hold ‘em take place prior to the flop. The key question I ask myself is should I play the two cards I’ve been dealt? ...
NCAA Basketball Picks 2/6/08
February 6, 2008
Bet Using Your Credit Card! With all eyes on the Duke/North Carolina game tonight, a game that we did a special writeup for a few days ago and took Duke, we are going to try and pick up on two mistakes in the odds. St. Joe’s +1 Duquesne has dropped two straight by double digits and has only covered one time in their last five games. St. Joe’s has won six straight games and is coming off a couple of blowout wins, one being against Villanova the other night that we sure didn’t...
NBA Picks 2/6/08
February 6, 2008
Bet Using Your Credit Card! The 76ers have a big 4th quarter for us last night to take down the Wizards. We are on a little bit of a roll now in the NBA so let’s keep it going with the Hornets/Suns. New Orleans Hornets +5.5 So we have been going against New Orleans here lately and it’s been a profitable venture, but the line has definitely caught up to their play and now the value is on the Hornets. Big news out of Phoenix last night as Shawn Marion is on the outs and the team is bringing...
2008 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am
February 5, 2008
Bet Using Your Credit Card! Pebble Beach, California is getting ready for one of the biggest fields of the year when golfers and celebrities participate in the multi-course event. Golfers will tee off from Pebble Beach Golf Links, Poppy Hills, and Spyglass Hill GC. This type of tournament is not something of regularity on the PGA Tour; only 3 other tournaments use multiple courses. The other 3 are the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, Buick Invitational, and the Children’s Miracle Network Classic. These...
NBA Picks 2/5/08
February 5, 2008
We end up with a winning night last night as the Jazz just couldn’t miss from the outside on their way to beating the Hornets. Let’s look for that same kind of success tonight as we see just one game worth playing on tonight’s board. Philadelphia +2 The 76ers are 24-10 ATS in their last 34 tries at going back-to-back nights so we aren’t all that concerned about their close loss to the Atlanta Hawks last night. The Wizards on the other hand have lost two games in a row,...
NCAA Basketball Picks 2/5/08
February 5, 2008
Let’s get back yesterday’s loss with a slate of five winners on the college basketball court tonight. We are feeling pretty good about this list of games, so take our predictions to the bank. DePaul +7 Providence does not do a very good job of covering the 3-point ball, and DePaul shoots enough of them to take advantage of that weakness. Providence is just 1-10 ATS the last two years against teams who hoist up more than 21 3-point attempts per game and they are 0-10 ATS after a double...
How Many Majors Will Tiger Woods Win in 2008
February 5, 2008
There has been much speculation on whether Tiger Woods can win all four majors this year for the Grand Slam of golf. A record no man has yet to accomplish, and one Tiger wants more than anything. If there is any golfer of today that has the ability to do so, it’s Tiger. Tiger is already the only golfer to hold all four majors at once (Tiger Slam), winning the U.S. Open in 2000, and not losing again till the U.S. Open in 2001. Tiger himself thinks that the feat is something he says can “easily”...
NCAA Basketball Picks 2/4/08
February 4, 2008
We haven’t played much college basketball lately, so let’s just back in the saddle tonight with a single NCAA basketball winner for our visitors. Villanova +4.5 Villanova is 7-1 ATS against St. Joe’s in their last 8 meetings, and we like their chances of covering this number yet again as they head on the road. These two teams have been playing entirely different games lately. St. Joe’s is in the middle of an impressive run and winning streak against their conference,...
NBA Picks 2/4/08
February 4, 2008
After a couple days off for our trip to Vegas for the Super Bowl, we are ready to get back at it in the NBA tonight with the one winner we see worth playing. Good luck boys. Utah Jazz -3.5 Not a lot of people outside of Salt Lake City may know that the Jazz have won eight straight games and are putting on a real charge. Not only that, but Utah is tied for the best home record in the NBA at 20-3 after winning their last ten games at EnergySolutions Arena. A lot of that success can be attributed...
