Jack’s Free Sports Picks: 4/20
Written April 20, 2009 by Jack Jones
Special 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 foreseeable future. I’ll offer a matching subscription of my service when you buy any of these four handicappers: Mike Lineback, Steve Merril, Rocky Atkinson, and Jimmy Boyd. Lineback is on an incredible run in the NBA and just lowered his NBA playoff package to $155, which I think is a great buy. Steve Merril is currently doing extremely well in the MLB and has dominated all sports through the years. Rocky does a great job at all sports, but he dominated the NHL this year and with the playoffs having started, he’s the guy I’d choose to follow if you are interested in hockey. 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.
Today: We got back on track yesterday with our 20* winning on the Toronto Blue Jays, plus lucked out with Texas and the Lakers made us sweat more than we should have. 3-2 day overall gives us a nice profit and we look to do the same on Monday. Tonight I have a 20* NBA No-Brainer on the Bulls/Celtics. I’m 41-23 on my last 64 in the NBA, so I feel pretty good about the first BEST BET I have posted in the playoffs. Also on tap is an MLB 15*. 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 tonight’s 15* MLB play for FREE! Keep in mind that I send this play out to everyone in one batch, usually around 4pm.
Free Picks for Monday
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.
15* on Dallas Mavericks +6.5 over San Antonio at Bookmaker
The value is with Dallas tonight as everyone expects the Spurs to bounce back from their loss to the Mavs in Game 1. This just isn’t the same San Antonio team you have come to expect in the playoffs as Tim Duncan is severly hampered with his knee problems and Manu Ginobili being out due to the stress fracture in his ankle. The Mavs dominated the paint in Game 1 and would have blown out the Spurs if San Antonio didn’t shoot so well from behind the arc. You can’t expect to keep shooting that well from outside. Dallas was on a roll to end the season in winning five of their last six games and I think they will keep that momentum going tonight in San Antonio.
Free Pick Records:
CBB: 51-36
NBA: 26-33
NHL: 4-0 (+665)
CFB: 3-1
NFL: 4-1
MLB: 9-3 (+601)
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.

Got something to say?
jack i think that dallas has the power to win this game out right good pick!!!
Reply
I COULD NOT AGREE MORE ON YOUR FREE PICK, I HAD DALLAS WINNING GAME ONE AS AN UNDERDOG, I THINK THE SPURS WILL WIN BUT NOT BY MORE THAN 6 POINTS.
Reply
Tough call with Dallas… but i like your rationale behind the pick… Good luck Jack…
Reply
I really like this pick as well, was waiting to see if the public could increase the line for me..maybe +7…GL!!!
Reply
Would be more inclined if it were 7 or 8 points.
Reply
I hope you’re right!
Reply
dallas vs san antonio gotta go with cubans boys nice pick
Reply
Dallas is a good pick here!
Reply
Jack, You hit it right on the head Duncan not being 100% and Genobili OUT, the Spurs are at LESS than 100% and will be NO MATCH for the Mavs once again!!! I am going to risk 1/2 of my wager on the MONEYLINE.
BOL Jack!!

I think Dallas wants it more-playing as a team
Reply
Totally agree with u mavs cover again not sure if they win outright cover the #
Reply
nice brah
Reply
definitely
Reply
spurs are not healthy and josh howard continues to play great basketball, mavs just want this more than the spurs, love the pick jack
Reply
Good pick. Spurs are a shell of their former selves
Reply
Solid pick, Dallas wins out right.
Reply
play on Dallas…nice pick.
Reply
Im going to agree with you here Jack. The Mavs are playing very well and they bring a lot of momentum into this game. Also, the Spurs are a weak team right now due to injuries.
Reply
love it jack
Reply
nice play on dallas
Reply
yep – I like the Mavs to win this series
Reply
Great pick here…The Spurs just look like crap and Dallas looks like studs! Go get them Mavs!
Reply
I agree that this will be a close game, however the Spurs are too good a team to lose 2 in a row at home. They will squeek this one out.
Reply
This is it for San Antonio. It’s last call for them let’s see if they can hold without Manu and Duncan. Dallas at home it’s very dangerous
Reply
Dallas will win the series in 5 games!
Reply
I like the pick of Dallas, but don’t know if I’ll take it, just because the fact that the mavs usually suck so much in the playoffs. Good pick though Jack
Reply
well i have to disagree because i think the spurs do show up tonight and this team of veterans finds a way to get the win after getting beat by the mavs last game. however i have to think that the game stays a little closer than 6.5 points unless the mavs forget how to play basketball. hope the vegas fix isnt called in to the refs on this one. take the points because its the smarter play. good luck jack.

I think you’re all over this one, but sometimes that scares me. It’s almost too good to be true….

I like your thought Jay. I think I will pass on this one. I think the public will go with Dallas after they lost in game one.
Reply
Mavs today!!! GL Jack
Reply
And nobody speaks about Nowitzky, yes, he is the best and SA will bw out of play offs in this round.
Reply
i believe the spurs will pull it out even tgough thet did look bad the last halfl u can expect spurs to hit 3 pointers every game cause it comes from a variety of players. also expect that the spurs coaches went to the league to complain about what they thought were missed fouls and look for tonight to start with a lot of touchy fouls.
Reply
Good pick I think im going with the W for dallas in this one
Reply
Not sure about this one
Reply
Dallas all the way
Reply
For some, the first game may have come as a surprise. Even for those of us who were on Dallas in the first game, it must have come as some surprise, given the trouble Dallas has had with San Antonio all those years. Now that they have won the first game, Dallas should be able to put a way San Antonio within seven, but don’t be surprised if San Antonio wins and covers today. As one team plays more relaxed and the other with more urgency,I see the two teams tied after today’s game. I’ll pass on this one.
Reply
Like the pick, Dallas on the moneyline has just about got the value written all over it! BOL everyone.
Reply
mav’s win outright
Reply
I like your pick on the Dallas but don’t you think that the public will pick Dallas after they lost in game one. GL Jack.
Reply
Could go either way. But I would rather take this game instead of the Celtic game.
Reply
Lets roll
Reply
I like the pick but I do not think Dallas will win this game tonight. The Spurs will be hungry and will be out to prove something. I fell like they will win the game, but it will be within 6 so Dallas will win with the spread. Should be a great game to watch though.
Reply
I like this pick, a bit scary, but I\’m going with it.
Reply
I agree with you Jack, with ginobili and Duncan benched, this for sure turns things to Dallas advantage!
Reply
I think I would like it more if the points were in the 3-4 range,its almost like they are trying to get money on Dallas,then the Spurs wake up for this game.
After those beat down by Denver and Atl.,makes me wonder about going against the home team here,GL tonight
Reply
spurs will win!!!
so watch out on this one
Reply
Like Mavs as well-Believe Spurs will win the game but not cover this number
Reply
I think Mark Cuban is doing the macarena in your pic.Yay Mavs.
Reply
I think Dallas outright but I’ll take the points
Reply
I am all over Dallas yet again. I took them in game 1 and it was easy money.
Reply
the spurs are done. they are past their prime.
Reply
Going with Dallas too
Reply
i like the spurs to bounce back, i just dont know if they will. i like chicago to cover..
Reply
Without Ginobli, Spurs won’t be able to win this series. mavs are too strong. I’m with you on this pick .
Reply
Good pick I say Spurs by 2
Reply
The public will be all over S.A. We all know how well they do. Play the Mavs. Right on Jack.
Reply
I love the Mavs here
I watched that last game, spurs built up a big early lead only to see it disappear. They seem to be old and out of gas, like someone already stated I think + 6 1/2 are a gift, Moneyline is great value here.
Reply
Mavs fall but still cover… good call jack
Reply
I could justify picking the moneyline here, so Dallas +6.5 is a safe bet
Reply
Jack,
Great analysis.
But the Spurs will prevail tonite – Pop know they must do it tonight or it’s over.
In fact, I predict they win tonite and then Dalls runs the table 4-1.
Reply
Jack I agree totally with your free pick on Dallas Mavs tonight, they won the first because they where totally over the Spurs and they might win this one if they dont it will be a 4 point game
Reply
I’m with ya. San Antonio has had a great run but the tank is finally running out of gas.
Reply
Ouch!! Went with you here Jack, but i guess no one saw Parker stepping up like he did.
I went with Dallas outright in the 1st game and also went on the Over in the 1st (186 total). Both hit! Easy! Thought this one was a lock too on the spread….+6.5.
I still think the Mavs will close this one out winning the next 3…we shall see! They just need some more consistency from Dirk (he stunk in this one!) and they can get it done…
Reply
nice call. maybe next time you’ll gettem!!
