Make your picks here and let's see who has game.
I will take Phillies (-150) tonight for the sweep and Rays (+125) to finally win one in New York.
I'll also take Angels (-115) for the sweep.

I never completely understood the baseball lines.

I can't belive Arizona in only favored by 6.5 points.

Easy- they are straight money lines
Lines work in  either a dime or twenty cent increments. Tonight Phillies were -150 which means to win $100 that you lay $150 with Phils. If you take Atlanta for $100 you would either get back $130
or $140 depending on line that bookmaker is using. Dime lines are the best for underdog players.
Hockey lines are now pretty much the same as baseball lines since they went to shootout. You can also use money lines to bet football with no pointspread. Works great if you don't mind laying
down heavy money.

If it looks too good to be true it usually is. Books are looking for Cal to bounce back from pathetic performance and for Arizona to not be as up as they were for Iowa. I would actually lay the points with Zona. I think that Cal sucks and like Zona by 14-20 points.

Take Detriot +12 @ Minnesota. Minnesota hasnt looked good, they are missing their stud receiver and Favre is still trying to get into game shape and rythme. Detriot's offense has looked real good, especially Charles Johnson and rook RB Best. Detriot is coming off 32 points agains Phelidelphia and should have had over 20 against Chicago. Minnesota is avg a horrid 9.5 ppg so far.

Can't trust Hill at qb on the road. Vikings are pissed off and due. Don't like laying double digits but don't want the Lions.
Fuck the Angels. Fuck Hunter for not running out a ball that would have given me a perfect night.

Only if you pick up some winning plays.

Tonight I like The U of Miami Canes -4 at Pitt. Pitt is coached by a retard. All Jet and Bear fans know that.
In baseball I like SF Giants (+105) at Cubbies and also the Milwaulkee Brewers (-160) at home vs. Marlins
Throw in Rangers (-130) with Cliff lee throwing vs. A's

The last time I played BlackJack I had some woman sitting next to me hitting on 18.  She pulled a 3.  I immediately left the table because that was not going to end well.

Had a similar situation happen to me in Vegas a few year back. I went freaking ballistic and security had to come. I left.
Bama -8 tomorrow over Derelict's Gators.
