The Hot Streak In NBA Picks Continue, My First Post On Seamheads And An Odd Coincidence

3-0 on Friday makes me 8-0-1 in my last 9 and 10-2-1 since going 0-5.  I am over .500 for the first time in a while at 24-22-3 (52.2%).  Before I post my Saturday picks, I thought I’d mention a couple of other things.  Just to recap yesterday:

Portland +1 Milwaukee (Win)
Washington/Toronto OVER 192.5 (Win)
Detroit/New York OVER 190.5 (Win)

Poker has not been kind to me.  I haven’t moved my bankroll forward in quite a while.  I think the problem comes down a combination of calling too much and some misfortune along the way.  It could also be the longer sessions I’ve been playing.  Hopefully, I’ll work out the kinks soon and start moving positively.  Later today is the Bronze $10,000 Guaranteed Freeroll for the Ironman on Full Tilt… that would be a great time to work out the kinks.

I posted my first article on Seamheads today.  I will be posting on there every Saturday.  Seamheads is a site that talks baseball with an emphasis on the history of baseball.  My article today focused on 300-game winners and I will be doing a second part to it next week.

So, I’m sitting around looking up some information on the Baseball Hall Of Fame and for some reason every time I think of the Baseball Hall Of Fame, I ask myself how the hell is Phil Rizzuto in the Hall?  Then, I thought of that part in "Billy Madison" where Adam Sandler is asked by Pete Sampras’ wife to write Rizzuto on the chalk board and he can’t write Rizzuto because his cursive z’s look like r’s.  I turn the TV back on and see that "Billy Madison" is on HBO-35 or whatever number it was and at this point I have to turn it on.  When I turn it on, it is on the exact part of the movie where Sandler is walking toward the chalk board to write dugout, bunt and eventually Rizzuto.  So freaky!

Now, on to today’s picks:

Utah -5 1/2 Denver
Indiana/Cleveland OVER 206.5
LA Clippers/Minnesota UNDER 187
