Sports Interaction
Oct 22nd
I would like to welcome Sports Interaction to my affiliate program.
I highly recommend this book. There are lots of good lines to take advantage of.
Example
NBA Total Season Wins
San Antonio 53.5 -120 [SIA]
Elsewhere ([Bodog]/[TheGreek]) has this line at 48.5
So, I highly recommend opening up a SIA account and taking the under on the Spurs.
Yahoo “Expert” Picks
Oct 21st
I found this rather funny. These “Experts” have been amazingly bad these playoffs.
ALDS,ALDS Picks
Chicago Cubs
Philadelphia Phillies
Tampa Bay Rays
Los Angeles Angels
Record 2-2
Come on, the Angels>Red Sox???
ALCS Picks
Los Angeles Dodgers
Boston Red Sox
Record 0-2
Tampa Bay Rays
TBD
This makes my Philly play look better and better…
The best part is these are more or less unanimous picks.
Hence, the reason you don’t bet based on “expert” picks found on ESPN, Yahoo!, etc. Anyone remember the “Big Brown -300 lock of the century” that was on ESPN for over a week?

Philly/Tampa World Series
Oct 19th
Horray for Tampa Bay! I almost lost a bankroll killing play on them, but my boys Garza and Price came through.
I will have series plays (if any) tomorrow. Stay tuned. Going to ebay right now to buy a Tampa Bay hat.
