The Picker, 2-0 in last two days, makes 2 picks

"Always buy the extra half-point"

In case you haven’t heard, the big game of the night and the biggest game of the season for both teams takes place on TNT later this evening when the Suns play the Jazz, where they have had a run of recent success. “The Picker” is staying away from that game as he tries to run his four-day undefeated streak to five (yes, that’s a stretch, as he took two days off and

Another pick from “The Picker”

"Always buy the extra half-point"

Two days off did “The Picker” some good. He hit his only play yesterday, when the Sacramento Kings were 4 1/2 point favorites in Charlotte and won by 26. If only they all were that easy. “The Picker” now has a record of 19-17-2, and he is taking it light again tonight and making only a single pick. We also have another visit from Gus Forrest, who went 3-2 yesterday with both his misses coming on

“The Picker” returns, Gus Forrest picks again, too

"Always buy the extra half-point"

“The Picker” is back from a two-day timeout after a run of bad picks dropped his record to 18-17-2. Gus Forrest subbed for the past two nights, going 2-1 both nights. Last night he hit the under on Heat-Wizards and Bucks-Nets and made a bad call with the under 189 1/2 on the Pacers-Sixers, which went to overtime and registered a 215. When Gus misses, he misses big. He has agreed to pick again tonight. But

Gus Forrest, 2-1 Friday, subs for “the Picker” again

“I knew I shoulda bet against the Knicks. That was a sucker line — 10 point favorites” I have deleted the expletives from the above sentence, which was called in to the home office this afternoon by our gangster guest who is filling in for “The Picker” while he licks his wounds from his 18-17-2 record. That guest picker yesterday was Gus Forrest, who went 2-1 by correctly calling the under in the Oklahoma City-Sacramento game and the over in the Lakers-Spurs

Gus Forrest subs for “The Picker”

Got an e-mail from “The Picker” this morning. He is bummed. “I’m speechless, guess it’s time to take a day off or two and regroup. Cannot catch a break right now. This is as bad as its ever been for me. Its almost hysterical the way games are ending and such that I’m picking right now.” He went 0-2 last night, dropping his record to 18-17-2. Guess he gets the night off. But … We can’t leave y’all hanging, so I turned to the guy who

“The Picker” picks 2 tonight

by

"Always buy the extra half-point"

The Picker went 2-2 last night, which is about what you’d expect from a buy with a batting average hovering just above .500. Tonight, he likes the Rockets giving five points against the Hornets, and the Clippers getting two points from the Suns. Sorry for the brief post, but filing from a strange computer this evening. More tomorrow from our man in Minnesota.

The Picker, in a slump, goes for broke

"Always buy the extra half-point"

Another 0-2 night for “The Picker.” Yeesh. His record now stands at a pedestrian16-13-2 after he had another 0-2 night, going with the Celtics and Lakers both getting points. Both got trounced. You can see all of tonight’s lines, including movement from where they opened, by clicking here. As always, we remind you that we do not condone or endorse illegal gambling, but a different standard applies for folks in Nevada and outside of the United States. Tonight, the

“The Picker” begins the work week with two picks

by

"Always buy the extra half-point"

An afternoon bonus for y’all. Usually, we post the picks from “The Picker” late in the afternoon or in the early evening, giving him time to make up his mind. Today, fresh off hitting his only pick yesterday (Miami on the money line), “The Picker” is delivering two selections for tonight’s big slate of NBA games. After a week and a half, “The Picker” now has a record of 15-10-2 (although he will be the
