Weekly Betting Roundup for April 4-10, 2011

Hello players! Let’s see how things panned out in bases, the NBA, and the NCAA Championship game from last week. We will start with the big game as things went well for the books in a heavily bet mixed action game. We won the first half as Butler covered the +1.5 and the game itself was a wash so the house picked up the vig, and we won the total small to make it a successful final game for the books. Some of people I talked to, though, regarded it as pretty ugly game but in the end the best team won. It has been some tournament roll all season for the Huskies and hats off to the program. In the bases on Monday, the players picked up small wins on the Cubs -60 and the Yanks -74. The house won with Pittsburgh +48 to wash out the day pretty much in baseball, but a good start to the week for the books overall.
Tuesday in the NBA saw the players tab San Antonio -6, New York Knicks -9, and Oklahoma City +4 while the house countered with Washington pick ‘em, Phoenix +10.5, Golden State +10.5, and Utah +14 to have a decent night in the hoops. In MLB, the players won with the Mets +90 (a very popular dog), Cincinnati -63, Milwaukee -25, the Angels -20, and Texas -65. In turn, the house won with Colorado -15, Minnesota +190, and Kansas City +10 to almost get even for the day in bases. In the women’s final game the house picked up a tiny win on Texas A&M +2 to cap off a good college hoop season for the books.
Out of Wednesday’s NBA games, the players correctly tabbed the Knicks +4.5, Orlando -6, New Orleans -3, and San Antonio -10.5 and the house came back with Milwaukee +8.5 and Golden State +6 to even things out for the night. On to baseball where the players picked up wins on Colorado -25, San Francisco -42, Cincinnati run line, the Angels again +05, and Detroit -42. The house found wins on Milwaukee +105 and Cleveland +55, though it still was a winning day for the players.
In Thursday’s abbreviated NBA schedule, the players swept with both chalks – -5 Chicago and Portland – to have a big night in hoops. In the bases the players also won with Colorado -11, Philadelphia run line, New York Yankees -52, and the White Sox -39; the house picked up wins on Washington +90 and Cleveland +70 to save the night in bases but still a good day for the players.
Friday in the NBA the players won with New York Knicks -5, Chicago -8.5, Oklahoma City -4, New Orleans -6, and Portland +3 (the Lakers appear to be on cruise control and the players have noticed this). In the meantime, the house picked up wins on Charlotte +14 and Sacramento +9.5 but still a decent night for the players. In MLB the players picked up wins on San Francisco -72, the Cubs +02, and Detroit -74 as the house countered with Atlanta +11, Arizona +21, Tampa Bay +40, and Cleveland +35 to have a good night in bases for the house.
On to Saturday where the players won NBA games with Houston -8 and Denver -13.5 with the house countering with Washington +2.5 and Utah +10 to even the score for the night. In the bases the players won with Philadelphia +01, Florida -11, Colorado -14 (the players like the small road favorites and it worked to perfection this night), the Dodgers -21 (another road favorite), and Cleveland +11 to have a big night. The house came back with Kansas City +55 and the Angels +05; a good night for the players.
Sunday, to close out the week, the players won in the NBA with Miami -5.5, Memphis -4.5, the Knicks +2.5, and Oklahoma City +5.5 (the Lakers in full blown shut down mode); the house came back with Orlando +6 and Sacramento +6 to cut into the players’ once again successful NBA night. In the MLB, the players tabbed Philadelphia +06 (anytime the public can grab this team as a dog I imagine they will and linesmakers should realize that sooner rather than later), Colorado -34 (Pirates are back to normal), Seattle +21 (big steam game), Texas -11, White Sox again -55, and Weaver -200; the house didn’t win many but they won the big one – Boston +15 – to ease the pain for the day. Overall, and mostly because of Monday night, the books did ok for the week.
Good luck players! I’ll be on vacation so will most likely talk to you in two weeks.
