I went 3-2 yesterday on my picks. I lost what I felt where my two best plays. I thought the Clippers and Lakers were locks. The Lakers only scored 10 points in one quarter, thats pretty hard to do in the NBA.

I have been refining how I go about picking games. I’m sure it will take me a while to figure things out and get settled in, but once I do I feel I can make some good money placing bets. I’m not even chasing a bonus yet because I don’t really have the bankroll to do that. I just have some cash in four different books so I can get different lines and odds. Here is my card for tonight:

NBA

Orlando vs Boston — Orlando +6
New Jersey vs Denver — Denver -8.5

Poker

I am playing off some more of the Poker Room bonus as I type this. I have made back my losses from yesterday and am now up a little bit for the chase, only 8 BB’s or so but better then being down I suppose.

It has only been a month or so since I moved up to $3/$6 so my conclusions might be a bit off, but man there are some weak players at that level. I guess I just expected the competition to improve a bit at this level. You find the same basic idiots here as you do at .50/1, just with bigger bankrolls. Sure you run into the occasional good player, but there are still plenty of fish in the pond, which is a good thing.

Well, I am now up just over 20 BB’s, the Magic are ahead by 2 and Denver has not started yet. Good night so far, wish me luck.
