Day 3

Mavs lost. Crap. I dn't get what's up with that team. They just get worse and worse, they need a serious shake-up or something.

Fortunately, I got $105 from the Knicks and Heat victories. So the TAB is at $960.

I don't like any of today's matchups except maybe New Jersey beating Indiana on the road. Which pays 3.65. I'll put $15 down. I'm not confident in the victory, but it's worth a shot.

So far I'm 2 - 2 in games I've put money on, but lost $55 as I'm down to $945.

NBA Picks - day 2

NBA Picks.

Darn, Magic won convincingly and the Rockets lost in OT. Doh! Oh well, that's the way the game goes. Day two.

I've had a look, and two gambler's that I'd like to try on are as follows:

Heat and Spurs

Heat are getting $3 for every dollar for a win. The Spurs haven't been real strong lately and - though on the road - I give the Heat a punters chance at getting a W. I'll put $10 on'em.

Denver v Dallas

The other game that caught my eye. Both teams are on 1.85 to win. After the Nuggets losing to the Warriors, I would think this an easy match for the Mavs. Is there something I'm missing? $50 on Mavs to win.

Actually, scratch that. $100 on Mavs to win.

Oh also, $25 on Knicks to beat the winless Wizards. $3 return!

TAB: $855

NBA Pick

First Bet. Two games on tomorrow, Philly & Orlando and Houston and Portland.

Odds
Orlando: $1.40
Philadelphia: $2.80

Thoughts:
The Magic are at home, and I've not been impressed with the Sixers thus far. They got blown-out by MIAMI today, so I don't know how they'll bounce back overnight? Given those two points, I would think the Magic are in for a win, but the Sixers are dangerous enough to win.

I meekly predict the Orlando Magic will win.

Houston: $1.45
Portland: $2.65

I'm confident the Rockets will win this match. Coming off a loss against the Celtics the big three will be focused and determined to prove they are for real. The Blazers are good, but not good enough.

$10 on Houston to win.

TAB: $990.
