Jake's Picks - December 18th

Tampa +131
Philly/Atlanta Under 5.5 -106
Philly -220
Anaheim -.5 +116

Also, check out my NBA post. It's my biggest NBA day ever.

 

Get rid of that ugly looking -220 play and your card looks good. NEVER EVER lay 220 or advise others too -.5 -165 is bad enough. it's possible for you to go 2-2 and get carried out.

 

I risk 1 unit on each play so I'm not risking 2.2 to win 1 in this case. I see what you are saying about the big faves though. I just capped it as 4-1 Philly so I looked at -220 and saw a 90% chance to win or so and liked my odds. In the future I'll try and do it your way, as you and other people have told me to do that before. Thanks for the advice.

 

Not to turn this into ebay any further, but if anyone is interested, I am selling my sports card collection. I need money by the end of December to cover what I owe to people, so I figured since I haven't been into collecting for a few years, I might as well let it go. I have cards from 1959-present but most of them are in the 1988-1998 range. Tons of rookies. Favre rookies, Shaq rookies. Lots of inserts, lots of autographs. Rare cards. 2/50, 3/100 for instance. I'll include my autographed celebrity pictures collection (about 20-25) with it. Any offer is a good one. Email me at jake@mbpicks.com and I'll fill you in on the full details. I'd say the Beckett value of my collection is close to 10 grand, but I'm only looking for a few hundred. Let me know guys. Merry Christmas.

One more quick note. The 1959 Topps cards are probably 60-75% of a full set. Mantle, Mays, Banks, Spahn, Maris, and others. Just wanted to put that in for all the vintage collectors.

 

Shoulda listened to ya Dicky.

3-0 still, I'll take it. I need it.

Up about 2.5 Units.

I'll add up record tommorow hopefully.

I'm planning on it.
