Service Plays Monday 5/2/11

[Can'tPickaWinner2]

The Rx.com Mod Team has created this Service Play sub-forum in order to supply an area for Rx Service Play Posters to expand upon their posting topics without creating a logjam in the main forum where the three principle threads are maintained..

Posters can track services here if they care to but we will need any trackers to do so in an accurate and civil manner. We did not create this area for posters to ridicule or bash any services..

You can also discuss who is hot and who is not. The general state of the pay for plays industry and any other subject or topic related to service plays.

You can also create individual threads about specific services and discuss them freely but civilly. Again bashing and abusive treatment of any services will not be tolerated.

Please remember, this forum is not here for regular posters who cap their own games to post ther daily plays. Please use our individual sport forums to post your plays. Professional cappers (those that sell plays) must remain in the Site Promotion Forum.

The Rx.com will not tolerate posters that post false records of any services they track. Please be truthful if you decide to track a particular service.

Lastly The Rx Moderators are appealing to you our everyday posters to report any promotional threads or posts that are made by services or individual touts. No links or contact information to an individual service will be allowed. Just the name of the service. Please report any threads or posts that are promotional attempts by services and touts to use this forum to promote themselves..

Posters can easily report a promotional post by using the triangular Report-a-Post Icon at the bottom left of all post boxes. The poster name of any poster who reports a post that is out of line will be kept strictly confidential.

I will leave this thread open for a month to take questions and do my best to answer them. I will check in daily but am off on Wednesday and Thursday.

I hope this additional Service Play Forum will satisfy those posters that would like to widen the scope of topics relating to service plays and the industry in general to have their own threads. Mods will be liberal as possible regarding topics but this forum was specifically created to allow you more freedom to express your ideas regarding service plays and related subject matter. No off topic threads will be allowed.

Thank you, wilheim

WASHINGTON - Osama bin Laden, the face of global terrorism and architect of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, was killed in a firefight with elite American forces Monday, then quickly buried at sea in a stunning finale to a furtive decade on the run.

Long believed to be hiding in caves, bin Laden was tracked down in a costly, custom-built hideout not far from a Pakistani military academy.

"Justice has been done," President Barack Obama said in a dramatic announcement at the White House while a crowd cheered outside and hundreds more gathered at ground zero in Manhattan to celebrate the news.

ICE PICKS

Monday's Best NHL Bet

Boston Bruins at Philadelphia Flyers (-125, 5.5)

Despite having home ice, Philadelphia got off to a shockingly bad start in its Eastern Conference semifinal series against Boston. The Flyers had played arguably their best hockey of the season in a 5-2 Game 7 win over Buffalo on Tuesday, but they were blown out 7-3 on Saturday.

The Bruins led 2-1 after one and blew it open for a 5-2 lead late in the second. Philly then pulled Brian Boucher (five goals on 23 shots) and subbed in Sergei Bobrovsky, but Bobrovsky wasn’t much better (two goals on 10 shots).

Still, the Flyers know a thing or two about bouncing back; especially against Boston. Last year at this same stage of the playoffs, the Bruins seize a 3-0 series advantage only to see Philadelphia storm back and win it in seven.

“There's a lot of things we need to do a little better out there, and we'll regroup,” James van Riemsdyk told the Philadelphia Inquirer. “It's a seven-game series for a reason.”

“We were brutal,” added Kimmo Timonen. “There's a lesson to be learned from tonight's game. It doesn't matter what happened a week ago or yesterday. It looked like we were still stuck in the Buffalo series, and it's over…. We have to move on.”

Philly should be able to move on as long as the defense actually shows up in Game 2. Offense has not been a problem, as the Flyers have scored at least three goals in each of their last four outings, including five-goal outbursts in the last two wins over Buffalo.

Van Riemsdyk scored his fifth goal of the postseason in Game 1 and has now put an incredible 51 shots on goal in eight postseason games. Daniel Briere found the net for the seventh time during the playoffs to briefly tie Saturday’s score at one apiece.

PICK: Flyers

HOT LINES

Monday’s Best MLB Bets

San Francisco Giants at Washington Nationals (-109, 7.5)

How much are the Giants going to miss Pablo Sandoval? Well, how much time do you have?

Sandoval is out at least a month after fracturing a bone in his right hand, leaving San Francisco without one of its limited offensive weapons. Sandoval was hitting .313 with five home runs and 14 RBIs before he was hurt and was also getting rave reviews for cutting his weight in the offseason.

“The one positive he’s trying to take out of it is that he still wants to lose a few more pounds. And he’s like, ‘That’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to work out.’ He can work out his legs. He can still run,” Giants trainer Dave Groeschner told reporters. “He’s motivated to do that. So this is an opportunity to work on that part. He’s going to have plenty of time, so that’s what we’re going to push.”

Making matters worse, utility man Mark DeRosa was also injured last week, so San Francisco is looking to Ryan Rohlinger to fill in for Sandoval. Rohlinger was hitting just .194 at Triple-A Fresno, though he did have four homers and 14 RBIs in 20 games.

It’s a huge loss any way you slice it and with Madison Bumgarner scheduled to take the hill, we don’t like the Giants’ chances.

PICK: Nationals


Milwaukee Brewers at Atlanta Braves (-139, 7.5)

Things are starting to look up for the Milwaukee Brewers – finally.

After stumbling through a tough start to the year, filled with injuries and inconsistency, the club is getting ready to welcome Zach Greinke to the starting rotation in his Wednesday debut. Greinke, who has been out of action with a cracked rib, will likely be on a pitch count in his first start of the year but his return alone is already boosting the team’s spirits.

And they need it after the start they’ve had.

"No, I'm not happy with it," manager Ron Roenicke told reporters of his team’s slow start. "I don't think we're ever going to be satisfied with just being about .500. Do I think we've played well? Yes, I do. But I also think that we could have won two, three more games."

Yovani Gallardo takes the hill Monday following a couple of rocky outings, but the team is encouraging him to pick up the pace on the mound, hoping it will help his rhythm. He’s too good to stay down for long.

PICK: Brewers

PICK 'N' ROLL

Monday's Best NBA Bets

Atlanta Hawks at Chicago Bulls (-8.5, 178)

The top-seeded Bulls have not had any recent trouble against Atlanta.

The Hawks came from behind to win the first game of the regular-season series, 83-80 at home. But the Bulls bounced back later in March for a 94-76 home rout and a 114-81 road thrashing in Atlanta. Even in its lone loss to the Hawks, Chicago led by 17 points at the half before falling asleep.

Derrick Rose dealt with a sprained ankle late in the Indiana series but looked like his usual self in going for 25 points and six assists in the clincher on Tuesday. Rose also has five full days of rest in between games. Carlos Boozer has a case of turf toe, but he should be good to go for Game 1.

Atlanta, on the other hand, will almost certainly be without Kirk Hinrich (strained hamstring) on Monday; he could miss the entire series. The Hawks traded Mike Bibby for Hinrich mainly because Bibby could not guard anyone, and if they don’t have Hinrich to guard Rose it’s going to be a major problem.

“It doesn't change anything at all,” Rose told the Chicago Tribune of Hinrich's absence. “We still have to go out and play. (Jeff) Teague or whoever starts in his spot are good players. They're a real athletic team and play hard together. And they have everything going for them now.”

What the Hawks don’t have going for them is that they have to play the Bulls.

PICK: Bulls


Dallas Mavericks at Los Angeles Lakers (-6, 188.5)

Both Dallas and Los Angeles struggled at times in their respective opening-round series, but they heated up at the end. The Mavs rolled over Portland by 11 in Game 5 and put together a workmanlike seven-point victory in the clinching Game 6. The Lakers clobbered New Orleans by 16 in Game 5 and 18 in Game 6.

The result should be a blockbuster series between the two highest remaining seeds in the Western Conference.

L.A. normally has a size advantage over most opponents, but Dallas boasts three seven-footers: Tyson Chandler, Brendan Haywood, and a scorching-hot Dirk Nowitzki.

The injury outlook is relatively clean for both teams. Kobe Bryant is still dealing with a sprained left ankle, but he is not listed on the injury report.

“It still affects him a lot,” head coach Phil Jackson told the Los Angeles Times. “This is not going to go away anytime soon so we're just going to have to be close to what he's doing and monitor it a lot. He'll have a limited amount of practice time and it's something he'll have to do.”

PICK: Mavericks

Game #1

Atlanta (48-40) at Chicago (66-21) 8:00 pm est

1704 Chicago Bulls 1st Half OVER 90 (-110) *****5 UNITS*****

The Chicago Bulls are my pick to win the NBA Championship. I believe they have all the tools to get it done this year. But anyway, on to Monday night's game 1. Atlanta fought a hell of a fight against Dwight Howard and the Magic. It took the Hawks six games to finish off Orlando. All six games went under the total. Atlanta scored an average of 45 1st half points in that series. In the three games Atlanta played against the Bulls this season, they averaged 42 1st half point. Their highest being 50 and the lowest being 33 points. The last time Atlanta played in Chicago they scored 50 1st half points. The Hawks will be without Kirk Hinrich for the series. I have no worries about Kirk even being a factor in this call. In his last game (3/22) against the Bulls, he logged 27 mins and NO points. That was the game that the Bulls put up 72 1st half points. It's actually a good thing Kirk is out, he is known for his defense.

Chicago got all they could handle from Indiana while taking out the Pacers in five games. Two out the five games the Bulls played against the Pacers went under the total. The reason, the Pacers didn't score... Chicago scored an average of 44.8 1st half points. In the three games the Bulls played against the Hawks this season, they averaged 56.7. The highest being 72. Yes, 72. So let's cut that number out of the equation and you still have an average of 49 points. If Boozer plays, it's all gravy. All in all, my system has the line 8 to 10 point off. BW is all OVER the total of 90. The 1st half of 90 is pretty much everywhere, here in LV and online.

PREDICTION: Atlanta, 44 1st Half points / Chicago 55 1st Half points
