Jason and his crazy predictions

One more post before the weekend... 3 posts today, gotta be a new personal best ;-)

So I was in Vegas last weekend after the Suns/Heat game. Didn't do too well. Placed 5 straight bets and 2 parlays, won just 2/5 straight and 0 parlays. I blame the Spurs and their blowout loss to the Rockets for ruining my last Vegas venture. They were 3 point underdogs, just got Parker back, and the Rockets were playing without T-Mac. I thought for sure the Spurs would cover... 'cept they decided to choke and lose by 20 instead. That cost me a straight AND a parlay... a $136 swing. =(

Anyhoo, that's when I came up with the idea that the next time I'm in Vegas, I'm just going to go ahead and place a small bet on EVERY game, both on the spread and the over/under. The scattershot approach. That way one miscalculation won't wreck me too much. So with that in mind, here's a practice run. Below are the odds are every game tonight and my picks are in bold. 11 games tonight, 22 picks total, one for each point spread and one for each total score. I'll be back later to post how I did. I'll doing these practice runs once a week from now on until I go back to Vegas. =)
