Jack’s Free Sports Picks: 3/1
Written March 1, 2009 by Jack Jones
What a great day yesterday was as we hit BOTH BEST BETS rather easily to go to 20-9 over our last 29. Virginia Tech screwed us with a foul when there were 3 seconds left, losing by seven instead of five and costing us a 5-0 day. I’ll take 4-1 all season long though.
The BEST BET goes early on Sunday and it’s our 20* No Doubt ATS Rout on the Pistons/Celtics. That should be a pretty solid game and one that we can cash in on. I’m also playing a 15* Line Mistake on the Raptors/Mavs, but am passing on today’s college basketball. Grab my package now at the Jack Jones home page or take a look at some of the NCAA basketball picks & NBA picks being released by our other top handicappers.
Today is the first day of the March Madness Contest with Trev Rogers so make sure you head to the service plays forum to see who is taking who. Also, for those of you interested in joining the play of the day contest, the lines are up and a few people have already locked in their picks there as well.
Free Premium Picks: Comment on my free pick article for today over at Betfirms.com. Tell me why you agree or disagree with today’s free pick and get tonight’s NBA 15*! I’m going back to giving out the BEST BETS for now, because when I was doing that we were all cashing in. I send the free premium picks out in one batch today around 5 PM EST, so if you post after they’ve been sent you’ll get tomorrow’s play.
Free Pick for Sunday
So I know I’ve had this disclaimer about the free picks being the weakest plays and that I don’t play them, but I really put 1% of my bankroll on these games in comparison to 3-4% on the regular and BEST BETS. I just don’t want people getting ridiculous on the free picks when they aren’t intended to be the highest percentage of winners that I offer. Where do I find these lines? Check out our NBA odds and college basketball lines pages to see which sportsbook has the best number!
Detroit/Boston UNDER 179 at BetUS
Since my BEST BET is on the side of this game I’m not going to get too deep into my analysis on the total as I don’t want to give away which way I’m leaning. Both of these teams like to slow it up and play half court basketball, a big reason that the UNDER is 10-2 in the last 12 matchups between the two squads. This is a low total that will scare some people away, but with 6 of the last 7 between the Pistons and Cetlics going UNDER 180, I don’t see a problem with this one staying low.
Free Pick Records:
CBB: 42-28
NBA: 17-19
NHL: 4-0 (+665)
CFB: 3-1
NFL: 4-1
I also post my free picks on Twitter so if you follow me there it may be easier to get the picks if you are away from your computer.

Got something to say?
Under 179 is a little too hard to play. I look for the addition of marbury to add a little more scoring off the bench and the loss of ben wallace should affect cavs defense. I would play the OVER on this one. 179 is just too low…

I like your Under, Last 4 have played under this total, Early game may lead to bad shooting and Boston will be in a feisty mood after losing to lowly clippers.
Boston 98-68

THIS IS A TOUGH PLAY BOSTON CHANGE IN LINEUP BECAUSE OF INJURY AND NEW PICK DETROIT WITHOUT AI MORE SOLID LOOK FOR GOOD DEFENSE BOSTON IN A LOW SCORING GAME

With you on the Det/Bos Under, let’s get this one and start out this month with a right foot

I like the pick as Boston hardly ever makes the over evn with the power they have

Too low – Pistons and Celtics both good for at least 90

I believe the Detroit/Boston game will go over 179, as this is a pretty low line, just like the Hoya/Cats game yesterday. Luckily, I went against your free pick, which I very seldom do. Thanks for all your predictions because your service is one I trust.

179 just seems way to low to put the under bet on

I like the pick. Detroit will play them tough, and the Celtics are still working on chemistry with Garnett out and now with Marbury around.

det+8.5 and under 179

I like this pick. It is uaually a low scoring game when these two teams hook up!

Jack is back on the attack! Let’s get this one on the UNDER!

LINES SO LOW YOU JUST KNOW ITS GOING UNDER.

I like the under on this pick also. Both teams can slow the game down. Neither of them will want to pick up the pace and allow the other team to run away with the game..

I like this pick as well. It is a low under but still both play good defense and will def slow the game down. good pick jack!

Sounds good to me.

i like where your heads at jack! On the surface it seems like too low of a total, but when you look at the trends it is an easy play to make. I’ll probably parlay the under and your ATS pick.. i look forward to it!

I agree with the under.

defence is the name of the game today, good call on the under
