1000$ Penny 5/1: Well it's come down to this. The Pacific is so far behind that I have to pick this in hopes that Penny will go off that day. If Penny can somehow win this, this will put the Pacific back up with the leaders, and then we just have to hope they have a bad day. I would go with someone with better odds, but I looked at those better odds, and they have absolutely no shot in my opinion.

$50 bonus bet: Spurs 4/1 on winning 8th seed. Trying to get an extra $200 here. I think the Grizzlies will get the 8 seed but I think the Spurs have a decent chance as well. Better chance than the 4/1 odds are showing.

$600 - 4/14 - Timberwolves -9

Nuggets play Wolves well. They have won the past three meetings by over 10 and are going for a sweep of the wolves. However, Denver is benching their three stars to preserve them for the playoffs. Taking the wolves -9 on the road.

$400 - Who wins the 3rd seed in the West? Jazz - 2/1
The matchups for the other two seem more difficult. Plus they don't have to travel to the god forsaken hell hole that is phoenix to play the bastard suns.

$50 - 4/12 - Who scores the most points today? Penny - 5/1

Bc the odds are decent for this guy.

Surprised pacific hasnt asked for a reset

FTB is unable to pick - Eazy was 2nd in the Midwest and will cover. Thanks, sir!

4/12 - Who scores the most points today?
Lewis - 2/1
McGrady - 1/1
Dirk - 3/1
Boozer - 3/1
Penny - 5/1
Field - 3/1

Reason: 550$ Dirk has the softest matchup of the group to score against and Dirk wants to showcase his scoring touch for perspective teams that offer him the max in the offseason.

4/13 - Will a game today go to O/T?
Yes - 3/1
No - 1/3

Reason: 150$ Impossible to tell which game goes to OT but I think the one with the best reasoning is the Mavs @ Wizards. Two teams fighting for respective positioning come the playoffs. Both offers exciting matchups on the wing between Rashard and RJeff.

4/16 - Blazers @ Kings - pick'em

Reason: 200$. Even with the Kings resting everyone, the Kings should still beat this team. Surprised their wasn't a line on this game.

Who wins the 4th seed in the East?
Nets - 2/1
Hornets - 1/2
Field - 9/1

Reason: 200$ Even with the schedule and the injuries, I think the Nets have the best shot to retain homecourt here even with the 1/2 game edge atm.

Who wins the 8th seed in the West?
Blazers - 2/1
Grizz - 3/2
Rockets - 6/1
Spurs - 4/1

Reason: 300$. Of the 4, The Spurs have the easiest schedule going and think they sneak in with a super performance from Spray and Dirk.
