Jack’s Free Sports Picks: 4/10


Written April 10, 2009 by Jack Jones

reds-piratesSpecial 2-for-1 Offer!  So many of you have been taking advantage of our special offer that I’m going to keep it going for the forseeable future.  I’ll offer a matching subscription of my service when you buy any of these three handicappers: Mike Lineback, Steve Merril, and Jimmy Boyd.  Lineback is on a 16-2 run in the NBA and just lowed his NBA playoff package to $175, which I think is a great buy.  Steve Merril is our current MLB leader and has dominated all sports through the years.  Then there is Jimmy Boyd who has done a great job in all sports since the beginning of the year, just like he has in years past.  If you want to buy a subscription of any of these guys, I’ll give you the same subscription for my service as well.  You have to email me your username, plus that you are taking me up on my offer to get this deal.  There is no automation behind this.

With some early baseball I wanted to get the newsletter out early, so there are FIVE plays going today in MLB action, but I haven’t finished up with the NBA so that will be posted this afternoon.  I do feel pretty good about today’s card, including our 20* MLB No-Brainer that is coming in the midafternoon games.  We split our games yesterday with the Ranges dominating and the Cardinals run line coming up short with St. Louis winning by a single run.  Our 20* was postponed due to the death of Nick Adenhart, what a tragic story that is.  Grab my package now at the Jack Jones home page or take a look at some of the baseball picks & NBA picks being released by our other top handicappers.

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 today’s MLB 15* play! 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 Picks for Friday

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.

Cincinnati Reds -144 over Pittsburgh Pirates at Sportsbook.com

I like Johnny Cueto and think he’ll have a pretty solid year and there is value with taking him at home today in his first start. The Reds got their bats going the last two games of the series with the Mets so he should have plenty of support. In the spring he threw 23 innings and gave up just 4 runs while Jeff Karstens on the other hand gave up 30 hits and 17 runs in just 23. It’s hard not to like the Reds here in this spot.

Free Pick Records:

CBB: 51-36
NBA: 26-32
NHL: 4-0 (+665)
CFB: 3-1
NFL: 4-1
MLB: 4-0 (+400)

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 and stop by every day for more free NBA picks from top handicappers.

    I think Ciny has alot of good bats this year and really belive Pitt is in for a dismal season. This guy Cueto has some good stuff and shoudn’t have much of a problem today. Keep up the good work because there is no dought you know your stuff!!!

    this seems like a lot of juice to be laying on cueto vs karstens. the pirates bats were heard in their first series and that was against the cards…not sure if karstens shows up or not. usually a no action game for me but since jack has been on a little streak here…i think i will give in for a small play.

    Cinci finished the last season going 6-9 against the Pirates and had problems in general with lefties. Sorry, but I’d only consider the dog in this one. The Righty Righty matchup gives the edge to the Pirates.
