Has our hero hit rock bottom? He is hoping that his online sportsbook/poker accounts have hit bottom, but you can always go lower....They say that you have to hit rock bottom before you get help for an addiction, but if the addiction is profitable...

Went 2-0 yesterday, as Denver beat Utah, 126-113, covering the 5, and Boston beat Miami,
85-76, covring the 4. Meanwhile, Atlanta beat Milwaukee, 102-92, and Cleveland beat Chicago, 96-83. I don't remeber what these lines were, but I'm pretty sure both favorites covered, though not by very much. I think ATL was favored by 8 or so, and Cleveland by 10 or 11. I imagine those lines aren't going to move a whole lot. If I follow my system, I'm going to have to take all the dogs, unless the lines do something unexpected.

Today my only pick was DALLAS(-5)over san antonio. I'm late posing it here, but I put it on covers.com earlier. At the moment, Dallas is up, 93-84, under four minutes to go. Hopefully this score holds up.

It's held up...barely. Dallas won, 100-94. I'm 3-0 so far. This shouldn't move the line much.

In the other games, the Lakers beat OKC, 87-79, covering the 7.5, and Orlando beat Charlotte 98-89, failing to cover the 10. Not sure what this will do to the lines. Right now Portland is up by a point at Phoenix. The Suns are favored by 9.

Two of tomorrow's lines are out. Cleveland is favored by 10.5, and Denver is favored by 7. I think I need to take the dogs, though I'm a bit leery of going against the Cavs, and I'm not crazy about backing road teams either. utah(+7)over DENVER.

Covers has a nice article about prop bets on the NFL draft...unfortunately, there aren't many places where you can bet on it. Too bad, because the reasoning behind most of the recommended bets seems pretty solid.

Chad Millman's latest column explains the zig-zag theory, which is what I'm trying to use. Apparently each series resets when the teams change venues, which I did not realize until now. Meanwhile, I can still fall back on my college hoops plan of backing home teams whenever the lines are tight. Fine by me. Of course it's easy for me to say that when I'm 3-0 doing that.
