Today is the last day of Mardi Gras. I expect to go out and enjoy myself tonight. I want all the ladies to be safe and do not show your boobs, unless of course someone offers you plastic beads in return. I digress. For the past 2 or 3 months I have been in a real financial bind. I think I began giving betting advice everyday so that I could live vicariously through all of you. Since I don’t know a bookie I can only bet online. But since my account was overdrawn, by a lot, I couldn’t not do that either. I was in law school. Long story short, things did not work out. The problem is that, like most first year students I borrowed enough money to live without having to work. At the time it became apparent that I was not going back for the second semester I had been flat broke for a minute (not because of gambling) and I was eagerly anticipating that money. Then came that oh so sweet W-2 form. By weeks end I will ready for action. It has been a good experience (obviously not the being poor as hell part). Prior to this I was only familiar with betting on football. Sometimes my record isn’t the greatest, like last night for instance, but the important thing for me is that I won my bonus and can’t lose picks. I always want to win those because I only pick one college game per night and if there are six or so games played in NBA, there should be at least one that I can pinpoint as a virtual lock. There are not always glaring picks, but for the sake of the blog I have to make a choice. Anyway, here’s the deal for tonight:

Today is what I like to call the Road Warrior Special
minnesota(+5) over CHICAGO
new orleans/ok city(pk) over SEATTLE ( I mean c'mon, it's Mardi Gras)

cant lose record: 3-3-1
bonus pick record: 16-10-1
tonight's bonus pick: illinois(-4) over MINNESOTA

Happy Betting!!!
