Home Forums Sports Picks Central Bet The House POD 3/18/02

Lots of good info posted for Sunday, and some good follow up conversation. That is what the POD is all about. People posting a pick with a reason, and others either agreeing or stating a case for the opposite.<p>Let's whip em !!!!

Okay, a break from college hoops.<p>Going across the big pond once again to soccer in the English Premier League. Monday afternoon (2:00 pm central) between Charlton and Tottenham. It is a home match for the Tottenham Spurs, but they have lost their last 3 matches 0-4. My POD is on the Charlton Addicks (+311). Talk about great odds!! If your book allows it, take the half goal to get the draw out of the equation. <p>Good luck to everyone!

Butler Money Line +115

Calgary ml o Minnesota +1<p>They burned me last night with a tie, but back to back this team won't cut it. Iginla will dominate the offense.

Some days your the "bug", some days your the "windsheild". Wisky got "splatted" yesterday,
and now I've got to scrape that windshield....<p>Sometimes I've got to wonder, why, why I say...
yesterday is the perfect example to always play all games the same way. I really (I'm mean really) thought I sniffed a solid winner out in Wisky only to be "open hand SLAPPED to the face" (4 a unit).<p>Now that I've got the windex squarting and the bugs are all cleared off the glass, I'm going to take a shot at Boston tonight.<p>currently the Celtics are at a "pick". They'll probably be getting 1 or 2 by game time. Really don't have any solid reasoning behind the play other than the celts are home and could really use a quality win here. Portland is one of the hottest squads in the NBA right now and usually capppers will try to follow the hot teams (usually too late) thinking, hey, this team is on fire and all they've got to do is win.....
(guess you can call this play a reverse, reverse psychology selection) anyway, my play will be...<p>"Please come to Boston she said no"......<p>stewman says get in on the home squad and grab a team that's number is at great value and in turn grab a great value play. Don't wanna say the celtics are desperate for a win but they'll play hard for one tonight (imho)<p>
Boston - pk<p>Best of luck to ya.

NBA
Port/Boston over 194.5 @SOS

Anyone get in on that soccer play?<p>Soccer fans...anyone? [img]images/icons/shocked.gif" border="0[/img]

Seavike --- did that play win ? Where can you find goals on soccer ?<p>Lastly you are one of few midwest soccer fans across the pond that I know of. [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] <p>You go boy !!!

Hey Freak. Yes, 1-0 winner. <p>www.livescore.com is a good site for live scores on international soccer. <p>I've had incredibly good luck with soccer this year. Always looking for others to chat with about upcoming matches. Looking forward to the World Cup this summer!

Gonna take Butler +2.5...good luck all

NBA Hoops<p>Washington Wizards +1'

Who loves Preston Shumpert??? I DO!!!!<p>Sometimes it's better to take the points vs the money line. Hope you guys cashed in on Butler +2.5. Thanks Preston for missing 2 FT's to cover. Tough luck on those with the money line. Let's hope Minn comes through after blowing a huge lead. Good luck with the rest of tonight's action.
