Thursday May 1st: Free Picks and Analysis

For those who followed last week, sorry my plays didn't make a profit. Dallas easily covered their spread, but Miami let the Bobcats stick around all game resulting in only a 4 point win.
Don't worry though, I have two more games tonight that will easily cover the spread and win us some cash.

YTD Record: (1-1)

Oklahoma City Thunder -2.5 vs. Memphis Grizzlies.

The Thunder are on the brink of elimination after losing their last game in a controversial fashion. There are also rumors that Scott Brooks, head coach of the Thunder, will be fired if they are eliminated tonight. That's a lot of pressure for any team to handle, especially playing on the road in Memphis. Despite all of that, I'm rolling with the Thunder tonight. Kevin Durant is the front runner for this years MVP and he wont let his team get eliminated that easy. All three of the games that the Grizzlies have won have been decided in overtime. The Thunder could have easily won any one of them if they were more consistent and made better plays. Tonight we should see a very focused Thunder team led by Durant and Westbrook. I like OKC to win by 5 or 6 points tonight.
The Pick: OKC-2.5


Los Angeles Clippers vs. Golden State Warriors Over 209.5.

This series has been one of the most fun series to watch in the first round. All of the late night west coast games seem to be shootouts. I don't expect anything different tonight. Both teams are loaded with scorers and 3 point specialists. Look for each team to score in the hundred and soar way over tonight's total of 209.5. My prediction is a 115-111 win by the Warriors on their home court. I don't have enough confidence in either team to win, but i do know that this will be a high scoring game.
The Pick: LAC/GSW Over 209.5

Wednesday's Free Plays and Analysis: NBA Playoffs.

Lets face the facts, odds are you're losing money betting on the NBA. 
Why am I assuming this? 
Well, if you were winning you most likely wouldn't be reading this right now. Successful bettors aren't surfing the web looking for free picks online. They're out spending their winnings on whatever it is they please. 
Must be nice.
Well today's your lucky day. I have 2 picks for tonight's NBA playoffs that will help dig you out of the hole and start a profitable run for the rest of the postseason.

Miami Heat -10 vs. Charlotte Bobcats.

Miami enters this game with a 1-0 series lead on the Bobcats after a 99-88 win in game 1. Al Jefferson, the Bobcats best player, is nursing a left foot injury that required him to wear a walking boot and kept him out of practice all week. Jefferson will play but wont be 100%. Miami has beaten Charlotte in their last 17 meetings and I don't expect anything different tonight. I expect for the Heat to come out playing with a fast pace to exploit Jefferson's injury and the stagnant offence of the Bobcats. Miami should easily cover this 10 point spread and start your night off with an easy win. Take Miami laying the 10.

Dallas Mavericks +8 vs. San Antonio Spurs

The Spurs have been the hottest team in the NBA for quite some time and defeated the Mavs in game 1. They are loaded with veterans with tons of playoff experience and have the reigning 3 time coach of the year in Greg Popovitch. Dallas also has plenty of vets with playoff experience and definitely don't want to be down 2-0 in the series. This will be a very close and hard fought playoff game. I expect the Spurs to get the win, but not by 8 points. Dallas should be able to keep it close all game and cover this spread. Take Dallas plus the 8.

So, the two plays for the night are Miami-10 and Dallas +8. 
You can thank me later.
