8-3
call it what you want, i’m calling it a winning streak baby. we continue to make new highs, finally broke the 120 resistance level and a support level is starting to form around 100. this IPO is running at the same pace as GOOG back in 2004. long MMR!
random thoughts…
AJ Smith’s a prick, considering he built a loser team that went 8-8, suck it AJ, keep LT
I’m setting my dvr for Michael Irvin’s reality show, reality tv + sports, if you f up this concept then Nate Newton is obviously still supplying the goods to you mikey.

Today’s Pick
Orlando being the at the top of the ranking right now is like Cal Bears football in the top 5, they lack staying power. once they reach the pinnacle their motor starts to sputter…
| Boston Celtics +5 | at Orlando | 3 units |
| Los Angeles Lakers -14 | vs Washington | 1 units |
bonus rainmaker – direct from my tennis guru source, plays for the Aussie Open
Tomas Berdych +130
Marion Bartoli -180
(if these tennis picks lose I’m revealing the source and throwing him completely under the bus then feeding him to the sharks)

What’s the old saying… buy the dips and back up the truck on the rips!
or you can deploy a fool-proof strategy I learned at my first job at State Street, I mean Pimco…or State Street..errr. just keep doubling until you lose. think about it, might take lots of practice. btw, that same State Street (STT) tanked 50% in a day earlier this week…
two games tonight, i think i’ll ride both your picks, gtsay. and for once, i’ll use your unit strategy.
if you’re feeling lucky Debbie, take the Celtics moneyline as well
who’s this Tomas Berdych guy?
I’m 50 and I can still beat him.
1/22/2009 9:21 PM Money Line 3000.00 1666.67 Other Sports – 212 Marion Bartoli -180 for Game
1/22/2009 2:02 PM Money Line 3000.00 3900.00 Other Sports – 112 Tomas Berdych +130 for Game
Rainer Schuettler… I’ll ride your hot streak. Hope these tennis plays hit!
I like bartoli she lost like 10 lbs so shes not a sloth anymore … berdych will be a tight one but he pulls it out in 4 sets …. hantuchova +200 is great value should be a toss up in the third set
yo JC, are you betting on games you’re announcing? or did you retire from the booth
good call Fix, gotta love the chub, the 10lb helped her pull out the 3rd set
Rain Man… early feelings about this superbowl? cards got a shot?
dam Ivanovic… no more betting based on looks
i’ll be taking Cards money and spread, but only because I hate the Steelers and rooting for the underdog
great site….a friend told me about this, been copying your picks. how do you do it?
you know, hours of research, player interviews, meetings with the coaches and going over game strategies. only way to win consistently is to put in the time and study, you should know all about work ethic with the UCLA education
feel free to post any opinion on your own plays buddy, we got 2 tennis winners from one someone we dubbed RainMaker Jr.
I like radek stepanek tonight on the hard courts over verdasco. Verdasco is on fire down under, but stepanek has a nice head to head advantage. At +130 its a nice play.
Could the FIX be right on again with Stepanek?
