State Of Origin Preview - Queensland v NSW Game 2

After grinding out a 1 point win last time around I think Queensland will be ready to go and get a win again in game 2. These games are always tight and low scoring, but at the end of the day the Maroons just have too many play makers to stop. Hard to see any State of Origin team winning by 13+ given the class, so 2.60 for Maroons 1-12 is a great bet!

PICK: Queensland Maroons 1-12 @ 2.60 (+160)

NHL Stanley Cup Final - Preview, Picks, Predictions, Tips -Chicago Blackhawks v Tampa Bay Lightning

NHL Stanley Cup Final - Blackhawks v Lightning spread, betting preview.

After the Hawks beat off the Ducks and Tampa Bay finishing the Rangers season these two teams come into this one after 7 game long conference finals. How will they match up in the post season? Playing different hockey, Chicago will have an edge in experience and Tampa Bay will have the speed. My issue with the Lightning is their defense. Ben Bishop let in 7 goals in game 6 and it's only going to get worse against a team that is no stranger to post season pressure..

PICK: Chicago Blackhawks win series  -1.5 games @ 2.60(+160)

5/26/2015 NBA Best Bet - Atlanta Hawks at Cleveland Cavaliers Game 4 picks, preview, predictions

Game 4 Atlanta Hawks at Cleveland Cavaliers preview and prediction..

The Atlanta Hawks brought the heat against the Cavs last time out and shocked everyone when they had a shot to win it in regular time. How could a team that has been demolished on their home court come out in Cleveland without Kyle Korver and a ejected Horford and almost win it?  Basketball can be a crazy game, but spirited performances like that aren't worth betting on. I still think this Cavs outfit at home will be dominant and they might have Kyrie Irving back as a kicker.  Seeing Golden State was pushed into game 5 last night, Cavs will be keen to put this series to rest and earn some extra time off..

PICK: Cleveland Cavaliers -7.5 @ 2.00 (+100)

5/25/15 Golden State Warriors at Houston Rockets predictions, analysis and pick

Golden State Warriors at Houston Rockets predictions, analysis and pick

Golden State have been absolutely dominant this series.. this post season..this season.... Chef Curry is the best player on the planet and impossible to guard. Andrew Bogut seems to be playing out of his skin and running high on confidence at the moment aswell. Paint or perimeter? Golden State don't care they're going to score either way. Houston find themselves in a win or go home situation sitting 0-3 and that might be the catalyst they need to get this one done. We've seen the under/over game total drop from 220 to 218 to 215 now starts at 212.5. Under has been paying out like no ones business off the back of some poor offence from the Rockets, struggling to post 100. I think tonights situation wakes this Rockets team up tonight and while the point spread is a hard pick, the OVER is well overdue and should be easy money!

PICK: GOLDEN STATE/HOUSTON OVER 212.5 @ 1.95 (-105)

5/23/15 MLB Los Angeles Angels at Boston Red Sox preview, predictions, pick

LA Angels v Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park Saturday Night Baseball.

I don't really have a lot of time for the Boston Red Sox team. They've spent a lot of their cash in the wrong ways and lost a lot in the Hanley Ramirez money pit. The Angels got over the top of the Red Sox last night in a convincing fashion (12-5) and I don't see it going any other way in this one. The Angels love to bat against a knuckleball pitcher and Wright should be getting hit tonight. In contrast, the Red Sox are notorious for struggling against a left handed pitcher. Of course, Mike Napoli is probably going to give the Sox a chance, but Los Angeles are just the better team at a nice price..

PICK: LOS ANGELES ANGELS WIN @ 1.98 (-102)

5/23/15 NBA betting preview - Golden State Warriors @ Houton Rockets, Picks, Prediction, Analysis

Houston Rockets take on the Golden State Warriors for the first time at home this series tonight..

The Rockets have put up a hell of a contest so far, easily covering the double digit spreads they've been dealt in the first two games of the series. They're 2-0 ATS and this time only slightly out of favor with the bookmakers at +1.5. Although, I'm still liking the look of the Warriors.. This team is a monster and one of the best line-ups the NBA has seen in the past few years. They have shown absolute dominance against the Rockets for periods, then gone cold somewhere in the 2nd or 3rd quarter and failed to make easy buckets. I'm still a big believer that the Warriors are going to start playing in their dominant fashion but avoid the momentary game lapses that have brought these games closer than the handicappers expect. If you watch a lot of NBA you would know if any team deserves your confidence, it's Golden State..

PICK: Golden State Warriors -1 @ 2.00 (+100)

5/21/15 Best Of the Day Triple - NHL Anaheim Ducks at Chicago Blackhawks Picks, Predictions, Analysis

NHL Playoffs Prediction Anaheim Ducks at Chicago Bulls prediction

With the series tied 1-1 Anaheim are left with the task of stealing back an away win. The Ducks looked dominant in game 1 but struggled to get the job done in game 2 where they went 0/5 in their powerplay efforts. The Blackhawks are a monster at home and have been all season long but i'm still not convinced that they're a better team than the Ducks. For that reason I can't pick a winner in this game, but I see value in the game total. The Chicago defense is solid on the power play and the Ducks struggled to score at home. Additionally, Chicago scored twice in the first 7 minutes of the 1st period yet the total still didn't manage to go over the line. Going against the bookies and predicting another defensive battle in game 2 of this series..

PICK: Blackhawks/Ducks UNDER 5 @ 2.25 (+125)

5/21/15 Best Of the Day Triple - MLB Los Angeles Angels at Toronto Blue Jays Picks, Predictions, Analysis

MLB Prediction Los Angeles Angels At Toronto Blue Jays Betting Prediction

Can't believe the Angels are starting as the underdog in this one. What stat merits the favoritism of the Blue Jays? Their pitching is a HUGE liability, Dickey struggles as a starter consistently and the supporting cast give up runs like no ones business. The story of the Blue Jays is that even if they do manage to gain the lead in a game, you can be assured they'll blow it. With the Angels chasing the top of the AL and on a run winning 7 of their last 10. I'm happy to take the Los Angeles Angels as the underdog and watch the Blue Jays self implode..


PICK: LOS ANGELES ANGELS WIN @ 2.00

5/20/15 NBA Best Bet of the Day Cleveland Cavaliers at Atlanta Hawks Game 1 pick, prediction, analysis

Atlanta Hawks vs Cleveland Cavaliers analysis and predictions:

Game 1 brings a rested Cleveland Cavaliers to the Atlanta Hawks to get the conference finals underway.

The Atlanta Hawks had a long, demanding series against Washington and honestly didn't look like a number 1 seed at all. Their defense at some points was nothing short of pathetic and struggled to operate any offensive potency. The Cleveland Cavaliers however, have been more convincing as their momentum has continued and continued from only a few months ago when they were a sub 500 team.  If the Hawks defense couldn't contain a Wizards offence consisting of a 75 year old Paul Pierce and absent of John Wall, how could they expect to stop Lebron and Kyrie? One of my bets of the week here..


PICK: CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WIN @ $2.15(+115)

MLB Best of the day 17/5/15

What on earth happened to the Dodgers yesterday? The Rockies started at the highest price you're likely to see in a head to head MLB market and managed a 6 run demolition of the best team in baseball.

Looking for the world to correct itself and the Dodgers to cruise to a win today. Kendrick is 1-5 in his last 6 starts for the Rockies and Colorado are 9-20 in their last 29. The Dodgers love the 4th game of a long series and are going to be keen to set the record straight..




PICK: LOS ANGELES DODGERS

Best of the Day Double 15/5/2015

Got two bests for today which should show a tidy profit....

NBA
 Hawks at Wizards -
Tonight the Hawks travel to Washington to try and close out the series. The line is at 2.5 favoring the Wizards and if you look at the numbers, this one should be an easy cover. The Wizards have been by far the better team this series and lost the last game off a last minute clutch play by the Hawks all WITHOUT John Wall. The Wizards defense has smothered the Hawks so far and the return of John Wall is only going to make things worse for Atlanta. Confident here.

If you have a PalmerBet account you can get all NBA lines at even money.

Pick Of The Day: Washington Wizards -2.5 @ 2.00
AFL
GWS vs Carlton-

GWS are coming off a 10 point win against the reigning premiers and find themselves in a position where finals are a possibility for the first time since their entrance to the AFL. As for Carlton, nothing could be going worse. The blues are off the back of a loss to one of the worst teams in the competition, Brisbane. Not expecting GWS to blow anyone out at this stage but can't see the blues coming out with 4 points in this one!

PICK: GWS (1-39) @ 2.20

NBA Best Of The Day 14/5/15

Back from a short break.

Getting to the business end of the Conference Semis in the NBA. Tonight Houston tries to keep their season alive in a must win game 6 against the Clippers. The Clippers bench got beat up a bit last time out and the starters played as though they were happy to let Houston cruise so they can take them out back at home. That spells danger for the Rockets, but getting 8.5 points against a team that finished as the second seed in the West is crazy. The Rockets were heavily favored to win this series, yet the Clippers turned that on its head quickly. Blake Griffin has been nothing short of dominant and should feature heavily again. The Clippers are likely to get the home win and progress in the West, but the Rockets are the better paper team and have their backs against the wall. This one is a toss up, but you can get 8.5 points for your trouble...


PICK: Houston Rockets +8.5

NBA best of the day 30/4/15

The first rounds of the playoffs are getting into the deep end of the series and the Clippers travel San Antonio for a must win game 6.

This series has been somewhat hard to bet on.. The Clippers starting looking good taking out the Spurs on their home court by 9 points, but then lost their following home game. One thing that has been a more reliable trend is the scoring. The last three games have gone to 219, 218 and 219 points.

Expecting this one to follow high scoring trend.

PICK: Clippers/Spurs OVER 206 Points

MLB best of the day 28/4/15

I really like the look of the Reds getting it done over the Brewers today. The Brewers sport a horrible record or 4-16 and along with that record have lost most of their games at home. The Reds are a little underrated at the moment off the back of uncharacteristic mistakes and think they deserve more credit than they get.

For added value I'm happy to widen the spread.





PICK: Cincinatti Reds 1.5 @ 2.29
