Giant Release.....

Today's release is the first of this baseball season.  Sorry for the delay but at Propick Sports, we adhere to a sound mandate- do not release out of boredom. Contrary to many preconceived notions,  abstaining from a bad bet is in fact the soundest strategy.

Giants -140 over Dodgers. This is my favorite game in a long time.  Lincecum is on the hill for the Giants and unlike years past, Lincecum is no longer a heavy favorite. Following a lackluster start to the season, many pundits are predicting the demise of this former two time Cy Young award winner. You know what happens when people all start to think that Lincecum has structural issues with his arm and could be on a downward slope? These people end of losing alot of money. 

Take the Giants -140 over the dodgers and thank me in the morning......

Bonus Play: Texas -130 over Detroit.  Roy Oswalt might be old but this Texas team is an explosion waiting to happen.  Expect a lot of runs and a surprising outing from Oswalt tonight.

"Can't We All Just Get Along" R. King 1992

Twenty years ago the city of Los Angeles was recovering from the worst riot this country has ever known. Twenty years later I find myself begging to be tasered and beaten senseless for a much needed payday. At the risk of sounding incredibly insensative, I appeal to the pragmatist in all of you reading this blog. During the past twenty years my handicapping exploits are the stuff of legend. However, throughout the duration of this iconic career, the swings have been epic.

Happy Fathers Day!  Today's Father's Day blank check comes courtesy of a gaming icon. As someone who grew up in the tony town of  Manhasset, our celebrity handicapper needs no introduction. "Men wanted to be him and women wanted to be with him". Mickey Mantle? Try again. If you guessed JV Handicapper (who now relcutantly lists Dana Hall as his playground), you would be a spot on. Without further adieu I present JV's Horse Racing Play of the Year:  Half Lucky in the 8th race at Belmont today. Details are limited but I will  say this, the trainer is Linda Rice. If you have to ask who Linda Rice is.....never log onto this site again. You are embarrassing yourself.

Heat -4 over Thunder.   This line stinks. As JV told me earlier, "Hold your nose and take the Heat".  The Thunder are America's favorite story. Guess what? Story's are made for movies and not the real world. The Heat will win this series going away...starting tonight. Take the Heat -4 and thank me in the morning.

I'll Tumble For Ya....

Tonight's NBA Finals celebrity post comes from a man who needs absolutely no introduction. Bobby O, better known as "Jumbo", is like many of us at Propick Sports, in that he has a gift. Despite years of being called a degenerate gambler in desperate need of help, Jumbo chose the path less travelled and fine tuned his craft. As a result, we are proud to present his mortal lock of the year. Got Heat? the only thing more ridiculous than the fans in Miami, is the collective public's loathing of Lebron James. Jumbo sees betting on Lebron as the equivalent of rooting for Idi Amin. With 65% of the public on the Thunder laying 5 (or 5.5) points, Jumbo will gladly take the other side of that bet. Furthermore, Jumbo is releasing the Heat to win the series. With all the talk about Miami lacking a supporting cast, Jumbo fervently believes Lebron gets this done on his own, in dramatic fashion. Tonight's release.....Order a few chicken parm heroes and throw down a few dimes on the Heat plus the points. Jumbo is also recommending a little "side car" on the Heat $ line as well. To quote Wall Street icon Allen "smokey" Bear, "money isn't won or lost, it is merely transferred".

Dream Time......

As promised, hockey gaming icon, "Dream" is releasing his Stanley Cup Game of the Decade. After being out of pocket for the past week (you may have heard about a newly single Hollywood vixen on the prowl), Dream has finally responded to my various voicemails. Since Dream is "crushing it" in the City of Angels, its only fitting that he chose this venue for his regime change release tonight. After two excrutiating home losses at the hands of the Kings, most NHL prognosticators are writing the Devils off for dead. However, as Dream told me earlier, the common man will be coming out of the woodwork for tonight's big game. You know what happens when you have an arena filled with celebrities and fickle fans? The place resembles a morgue once the visiting team takes the lead. With that said, Dream is "fading" the public money and taking the Devils tonight. The Devils are a gritty team and will not let two heartbreaking losses demoralize them. Tonight's Game of the Decade Release: Devils +135 over the Kings. If you are still wondering what Dream looks like, here's a not so subtle hint (hes the guy sitting center ice next to the hottest babe in the whole place).
