Football Jesus Las Vegas

People asking for  more basbeall picks, you know  for a fee you can call me everyday…but Tonight , you have to bet these teams:

Phillies +110, Devil Rays-130, Dodgers+135, Reds-110Twins+140,Texas+130,  Astros+140,  I may have some late plays on the west coast.

You still get three more chances NOT to lose and go home, so much for urgency. The Lakers should win, BUT Boston was better all year.I do like the Lakers tonight +3.5, or buy it to 4.

Yes I am moving! I no longer have room for several items, and am selling this Vintage Blackjack table from the Dunes Hotel.

I got this when it was imploded in the 90’s it has a six deck shoe of cards from the Dunes as well, along with marker chips . It is VERY heavy, not like the new lightweight tables in use today.

TAKING $2000 OR BEST OFFER. call 702-498-4377. Cash Only , and you must pick it up in vegas . Hi RES images here:

I will stay home, But someone asked for help with Baseball..I guess they heard the rumors- YES i do have to bet baseball in the summer, and YES i do win most bets . Here are some winners for Sunday: June 1.

Cubs -1.5, Phillies-1.5, Red Sox-1.5,

 Reds+125 , Giants-140, Diamondbacks-1.5, Twins+110

Play of day -Dodgers +155

What is the point?  I have watched the NBA play offs and if the home team gets all the calls, puts out all the effort, and wins EVERY game, WHY PLAY SEVEN?  Maybe if there was ONLY one game, they would put forth the MAXIMUM effort and we might be entertained. Did you see the piss poor effort from the Hornets the other night? 29 points in the WHOLE second half, and all the starters resting because the game was a lost cause, and heck, ” we got the next one at home”

It’s this whole mentaltity that has ruined the sport. Thats why the college game is so exiting, THAT post season MEANS something. I have seen NO effort , from any road team with the slight exceptions in the Lakers and Pistons, and its THAT reason why they will meet in the finals, and the teams WONT win every game.

Really- they could just play one, and the results will be the same, MAYBE three, but THATS IT, seven games , what a waste of time, and the teams know it, thats why the effort is not there. It cannot be THAT HARD to win on the road, they do it all season, they just dont care in the playoffs.

I really dont want to get into ALL the problems of baseball. But while there is NO football, well, there is Arena Football, we get stuck betting baseball. Today i am focusing on the problem of NO URGENCY. Have you watched these games? The players lounge around, with no sense that the game is important. These same guys will bitch in September that they should be in the playoffs, that they are only a “few games back”. Well, they have 162 ( yes 162) chances to win all season. 162, Really? you could not find a way to get it done with 162 games? Really?  perhaps if there were less games you would make a better effort. 

And the game has no TIME LIMIT. So what’s the hurry? there is none. Again a problem, some of these games take almost 4 hours to complete. 4 hours is too long for a football game, baseball should be done in 2 hours. Its bad enough NBA games are taking longer, but there seems no hope for baseball, as they wont make any changes that would appeal to the new generations of fans. Baby Boomers are the core of  baseball’s fans. And they don’t want the game or the season changed.

Thanks the gods for spring football ! Something to watch while my baseball bets come in.

A roof is NOT a DOME.  Here is the Definition of DOME , from Webster’s Dictionary:, Dome;  a large hemispherical roof or ceiling, For those of you in Rio Linda, etc, Hemispericial means half sphere shaped.  NOT SQUARE or rectangular. So all you San Antonians STOP calling it a dome, ok, it’s a roof. There I Said it

As for the games, I keep hearing all week that these teams are so good, that there is no way to lay any points , because the games will come down to the final possessions. This is  B S .  It doesnt matter how good or how bad a team is, if they score  points and shoot close to 60% of their shots , they will win , if they dont- like Stanford who shot 30% from the field, then good teams lose and lose big. Look at the BIG games from this year, Duke-Carolina, Memphis- Tenn., Kansas-Tx, etc…these games were not decided by 3 pts, and the Final Four will be no different. The winning team will be ahead by 10 points with 5 minutes to go certainly with 2 minutes to go, so the point spread does not factor in. I bet kansas Last Sunday at +2, and I bet UCLA today at +3

 MONDAY UPDATE: Wow, what a tournamnet. It seems like it just started a couple of weeks ago. 62 games played so far, the bets went 40-22. Tonight I bet Kansas+3 at Leroys’s , buy the half point as always! The Jayhawks have played better teams all season, in the tourney, and they are a smarter , better coached team.

 I’ll be back for Football season, if you need me for any advice, contact me , i will have baseball info and winning bets all summer.

For the Final Eight, I bet UCLA-5.5, UNC-5, Davidson+11, and I got Texas+4

Well, we will take 3 out of  of 4 from Thursday and go for 4-0 tonight. Western KY came close to within 4 pts, if they could have got the lead, they could have won. Tonight the big dog play is aon Villanova 7 to1 on the money line and +12.5 , I also bet Memphis-4, Stanford+3.5, and Davidson+5.5.

I have been saying for years that the NFL needs to ban long hair, mainly for safety, but it also looks bad. Now it looks like they may actually get it done. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/football/nfl/03/26/bc.fbn.nfl.hair.ap/index.html?cnn=yes

 I knew a coach in youth football that carried scissors and would trim kids hair at the helmet line if it was in our eyes. and the hair in the back should never go past the collar. This was in the 70’s and early 80’s.  If you want to have long hair , fine, just keep it in the helmet, so other players cant grab it, http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/2006-10-21-long-hair_x.htm 

and its not flopping all over the place. For the sake of the gods, please try and look like a professional. You are getting paid.
