Sal from the LCC is on fire, with sensational personal record, as he goes for six in a row on his Free picks here. We dug up another perfect Trend from a contest down south and on Fox Saturday baseball; we have a System that has won 79.8 percent of the time since 2004. Good Luck.

Free Baseball System -1) PLAY AGAINST road underdogs like St. Louis with a money line of +150 or more, who are a NL team with an on-base percentage of .340 or higher, facing at quality AL starting pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka (8-0, 2.53, 1.297 WHIP) with a WHIP of 1.300 or less, in the first half of the season. This system is scintillating 71-18, 79.8 percent the last five seasons.

Free Baseball Trend – 2) The Braves and Jair Jurrjens are 12-0 at home when he is starting pitcher for Atlanta.

Free Baseball Selection -3) Sal from the Left Coast Connection has hit his last FIVE FREE plays here at 3DW and is 22-6 on his most recent successful hot stretch on the bases. Tonight he is backing Minnesota in middle game of the series against Arizona.

Baseball Betting Numbers and Sharp Angle

Here is an update to my record in selecting baseball winners this season. As you read this, the record is 114-88-1, 56.4 percent, good for +19.7 units. My preferred place to show record is at FreeSportsMonitor.com, but they have a new format and have essentially dropped the old one. For those that want proof of this record, click here and you’ll its pretty close, with deviation coming from lines different, having me not always listing every play I wager. This year I’ve played more favorites than usual, based mostly on how well home teams have performed thus far. My whole method is based on who is going to win, not playing favorites or underdogs. I seldom play anything over -150; however will when all my figures point that way. Thus far I’ve made only 11 such plays, with 8-3 record, for +4.32 units. My good friend and professional gambler Paul Buck has a sharp angle for tonight he uncovered this season.

Baseball Betting Angle- In 2008, when a team has registered 10 or more hits in exactly three games and next contest is on the road, they are 8-34, -26.05 units. Today, consider playing against the Angels and the Orioles who are perfect fit.

Another 3-0 day yesterday has us torching the sportsbooks at 3Daily Winners. We have received emails inquiring about our record with these plays. Since we started this format on May 12 the records are:

System Plays – 28-9, 75.6 percent
Free Selections – 30-21, 58.8 percent
Trend Plays – 20-18, 52.6 percent

Clearly something good is going on here. Today our System play is a fantastic 16-2 the last three seasons. The Trend play has won 95 percent of the time and Sal will look to make FIVE Free baseball winners in a row. Good Luck.

Free Baseball System -1) PLAY AGAINST all underdogs like the Mariners with a money line of +100 or higher, who are sad AL offensive team (28th), scoring 4.2 or less runs a game, against a team like Atlanta with a good bullpen -3.34 ERA- (3.75 or less), with a starting pitcher like Erik Bedard (1-2, 7.14 road record) whose gives up 5.5 or less hits a start. This system is gi-normous 16-2, 88.8 percent the since 2006.

Free Baseball Trend – 2) Boston and Tim Wakefield are 19-1 when a -125 to -175 Fenway favorite.

Free Baseball Selection -3) Sal from the Left Coast Connection has hit his last FOUR FREE plays here at 3DW and is 19-4 on his most recent current hot stretch on the bases. Today's freebie is on the Cubs in the Windy City matchup.

Baseball and Basketball Thoughts

The Seattle Mariners canned GM Bill Bavasi on Monday and manager John McLaren was shown the door on Thursday. It’s really no surprise, when your team has the worst record in baseball, are unlucky 13th in batting average, runs scored and earned run average. McLaren was thought to be a rah-rah sis-boom-bah guy for a veteran team that swung and missed far too often. This style is thought to be like ordering black coffee at Starbucks for this club. Why Seattle ever hired Bavasi was a mystery to begin with, since his career has mostly been a failure with his running the show. At least McLaren will have history to forever be remembered. If you were a manager and had Richie Sexson and Jose Lopez on the right side of the infield, you would be pissed too.

A few final thoughts on the Lakers and Celtics series. I’d written about how Boston could not be NBA champions, based on how they were playing at the time. I believe that assessment was accurate when I wrote it, just didn’t turn out to be true. In Game 6, the ABC announcers were talking about how the Celtics came together after beating Detroit on the road in Game 3, 94-80, which gave them the confidence needed to move on. What I believe was more true was losing Game 2 at home to the Pistons. After winning nine straight playoff games in Beantown, their air of invincibility was broken at TD Banknorth Garden, leading them collectively to play with far greater sense of urgency. Nice job by the C’s who actually ended up covering the spread in all eight games this season against the Lakers. WOW!

Went to A’s and D-Backs Wednesday night and Oakland’s Joe Blanton should be a dart thrower, since he never missed an Arizona bat in allowing eight runs in three innings. He was throwing in the low 90’s, but sitting behind the plate, his pitches were straight as a string, lacking ANY movement. His 3-10 record is well-deserved.

Lots of early action, so let’s get to it. Sal from the LCC is 3-0 here and is backing a team with outstanding record in interleague action. The System play was a winner yesterday and is a 88 percent winner the last 11 seasons. You’ll have to dig deep to back today’s top Trend, however it should be worth it. Good Luck.

System -1) PLAY AGAINST all underdogs like the Chicago Cubs, with a money line of +100 or higher, who are a good NL offensive team scoring five or more runs a game, against a good AL starting pitcher like James Shields (3-1, 1.72 at home) who has a 4.20 ERA or lower (3.91), when his team is on a good fielding streak, 10 straight games with one or less errors. This system is stellar is 44-6, 88 percent.

Trend – 2) San Diego is 6-22 against the money line after two or more consecutive road games this season.

FREE Selection -3) Sal from the Left Coast Connection has hit his last three Free plays here at 3DW and is 16-4 on his most recent current hot stretch on the bases. Today, he’s throwing his support toward Minnesota, who as he reminds us is 32-12 in last 44 interleague contests.

Congrats to the Boston Celtics for a well-deserved NBA title. On the subject of good going, 3DW was 4-0 on all plays yesterday, as Sal was 2-0 on Free Picks and has another presumed winner in afternoon action. Our outstanding system plays keep winning and we have an 88.1 percent coxcomb that is very capable of adding to bankroll. Once again we have uncovered a perfect Trend, found this time on the west coast of Florida. Good Luck.

System -1) PLAY AGAINST any team which is a bad AL offensive team like Toronto, scoring 4.5 or less a game, facing a pitcher like Ben Sheets (7-1, 2.72 ERA) of the Brewers, who has an ERA of 3.70 or less in the NL, taking on a cold hitting team, batting .240 or worse over their last 15 games. This system is an exquisite 37-5, 88.1 percent since the beginning of 1997 season.

Trend – 2) The Cubs and Carlos Zambrano are 12-0 as a road favorite of -125 to -150.

FREE Selection -3) Sal from the Left Coast Connection was a perfect 2-0 on Free plays, which were his own personal selections, raising record to 13-3 in MLB games. Today he’s on Detroit and might have another play up, which would be by 6 Eastern if he does. Note- After studying, nothing else made sense was the email he sent us.

We have one beauty of a System, which is 88.9 percent the last five years. Tonight’s Trend play is in Game 6 in the NBA Finals and has 100 percent record this season and a pair of Free Plays is available in MLB action. Good Luck.

System -1) PLAY AGAINST road underdogs like San Diego with a money line of +150 or more - with a starting pitcher like Randy Wolf (5-4, 1.228 WHIP) whose WHIP is 1.250 or better on the season-NL and who has been a hot starting pitcher- with ERA less than 2.50 (1.35) over his last three starts. Logic dictates Wolf will continue success, but is due for back to normal outing. With Padres dreadful bullpen and the Yankees 24-5 against the money line after scoring 10 runs or more, this system’s 40-5 record the last five years look delectable.

Trend – 2) The Lakers are 0-9 ATS versus good defensive teams with shooting percentage defense of 43 percent or less this season.

FREE Selection -3) Sal from the Left Coast Connection is back and has Baltimore and Milwaukee as plays, trying to build on 11-3 record in recent MLB games.

Arena Football thoughts and other stuff

I went to my third ever Arena Football last night, seeing Colorado and Arizona play. Previously I’d seen the Milwaukee Mustangs (1994- 2001) on the 50-yard carpet, but couldn’t begin to guess what year, not that this matters. My previous memories were from an entertainment perspective about a five, on a scale of 1-10. Sort of like a TV show that your wife or girlfriend is watching, not bad, just not anything you would invest time on regularly.

Arizona has already wrapped up playoff spot and needed to, since new ownership group “guaranteed” the Rattlers would make the postseason on a money back promise for season ticket holders. Colorado used to be a AFL power, but is 5-10 after beating Arizona and is still in contention for playoff spot (don’t ask how, please) heading into the final week of the season.

I’ve watched snippets on TV over the years, but here are general observations. I can see why veteran quarterbacks have so much more success in this league. It’s about making one or two reads and getting rid of the ball. They more flick the ball than throw it, which coming out of college would be a problem for any quarterback trained to play differently. Many throws are off-balance, thus the Kurt Warner’s are few and extremely far between.

Because it is eight on eight, three defensive linemen and a roving linebacker rush the passer. Granted Arizona and Colorado are not the crème of Arena Football, but I was perplexed why defensive linemen just bull-rushed each time and never got their hands up. With the ball being thrown so quickly, chances for a sack are few, thus a batted or tipped pass seems nearly as valuable as sack.

If any AFL team has one really good DB, they have a real chance to limit opposition and make the field smaller, because of cover skills. The motion receiver is used to run clear-outs (at least by these two teams) and was surprised neither team ran more post patterns especially on early downs. Not that an NFL general manager would do this for many reasons, however if my team ran West Coast offense, and had a receiver I wanted to develop in the slot, or a pass-catcher that was non-starter who needed work on how to get open in passing game under 10 yards, playing Arena ball could develop those skills.

The funniest thing I’ve seen in years at a sporting event was a sponsored event by Buffalo Wild Wings. Six guys had 90 seconds to eat as many wings as possible to earn a year’s supply from BWW. They were introduced, all smiley faced and seemingly anxious to chow down. Though the number eaten by the winner was never announced, the looks on these guys faces was hilarious, trying to choke down these wings and I’m sure this one dude yakked once he got off the field. Great stuff. Last time I saw something that funny was at a Chicago Bulls game and they had probably 20 babies on the floor for a race to crawl from free throw line to midcourt for some sort of prize. At one point every kid was crying, as parents were prodding them to keep crawling, hysterical.

As NFL Hall of Famer and CBS analyst Dan Dierdorf would say, “Gutsy” move by the New York Mets to fire Willie Randolph and a couple of coaches in the middle of the night Eastern time in L.A. While the Mets and Randolph were blamed for no heart in September collapse last year, which evidently had carry-over affect, it’s clear the front office has many of those same qualities.

This Javon Walker story in Vegas is bounded to have more juicy details.

Bill Walker from Kansas State decides to stay in the NBA despite injuring knee in work out at Golden State camp. Just what the NBA needs, another 6’6 power forward with limited offensive skills, with bad knees, who lacks mentally maturity. (Check K-State websites and blogs)

Sports Wagering Info, June 16 , at 3Daily Winners

A little wagering action on Father's Day

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to you or your Dad. My father used to bring home parlay cards when I was a kid, which started my interest in numbers and trying to figure out how and what to play. Yesterday was great day to be a bookie, cleaning up in most areas. However, this is just one day and we have an outstanding System that has won 75.8 percent since beginning of 2006 MLB season. Our perfect Trend returns, let’s hope it stays that way. Our Free Play is from a professional bettor on a roll lately, cleaning up in all sports. Good Luck.

System -1) PLAY ON home teams ( Milwaukee in this case) when the money line is +125 to -125 with a starting pitcher like Seth McClung ( 3-3, 4.57 ERA as starter),whose ERA is 4.20 to 4.70 on the season (NL) against opponent with a starting pitcher (Sam Baker) whose gives up 5.5 or less hits a start. This system is a delightful 44-14, 75.8 percent the last three seasons.

Trend – 2) TAMPA BAY is 16-0 against the money line as a home favorite of -150 to -175 over the last two seasons.

FREE Selection -3) One of the fellows from the LCC, has won +15.65 units in the last three days wagering on a variety of sports and today has the Detroit Tigers as his play. Sunday home teams are amazing 103-48 this season.

NBA Finals – Now Betting for Grins and Giggles

It isn’t very often one historic event takes place in a sporting event and Thursday night, two such things occurred in the absolutely most unlikely of circumstances. The Los Angeles Lakers played what was essentially a perfect first quarter, building a 35-14 lead after the first 12 minutes of Game Four. This was the largest point differential ever after one quarter of basketball in the NBA Finals. For Lakers fans, and those having wagered the -7.5-points, if only you could have seen what was ahead.

Approximately two hours later in real time (as opposed to surreal time for L.A. and Boston fans) the Celtics pulled off the greatest comeback in Finals history, coming back from 24 points to defeat, deflate and harpoon the Lakers 97-92. This for-the-ages comeback will be what defines these Boston Celtics and shows what the Lakers 2007-08 lacked, heart and character.

As the years pass, people either hang on to the past or embrace what is happening today, conveniently forgetting what they already knew. Many people have recently talked about Kobe Bryant as being as good as or better than Michael Jordan, because he played spectacular all season long, has been coldly efficient in the playoffs and become more of a team player. However, in three of four games in this series, Bryant has not been up to M.J.’s standards. It should be noted, nobody on this Lakers roster looks anything like Scottie Pippen, which certainly plays a factor, but Bryant has been defended incredibly well, being contested like a pork chop to a group of hungry dogs.

Let’s not kid ourselves, this series is OVER. Whether the Lakers muster enough gumption to show any heart is unknown, but they are not going to beat a Boston team, that plays better defense, has greater desire and like a shark, smells the blood in the water now.

What’s fascinating is the Lakers have only themselves to blame. Starting in the second quarter, after moving the ball deftly for cuts to the basket and easy scores, they started getting full of themselves, as Kobe and others drove down the lane and kicked out to open shooters for three point attempts. While they made a number of these shots in the first 18 minutes, the Lakers started settling for them. This style of offense is fine if you are Steve Nash and Phoenix playing the Clippers; however the Celtics are the best defensive team in the league and started forcing turnovers on sloppy passes and made a few shots of their own.

Suddenly, the Lakers were putting up shots like Russian weightlifters, clanging everything and losing confidence faster than Barry Zito. Paul Pierce was dud in Game 3, but he was the man on both ends of the floor in Game Four. Pierce was Boston’s leading scorer, shutdown Bryant and was emotional leader. Ray Allen only sat during timeouts, playing all 48 minutes and Kevin Garnett ruled the 10 feet under both baskets in all directions the last 24 minutes.

Boston is a seven-point road underdog at most wagering, yet after covering the first four games of this series and having 9-1 ATS record as dog of 5-10 points, would it be wise to go against them? The C’s are up to 28-6 against the supposedly superior Western Conference this entire season, covering last 13 of 16 games played.

The Lakers have already talked about just focusing on Game Five and not worrying about the rest of the series. Those purple and gold backers will even point to the L.A. being 19-8 ATS revenging a home loss. Yet in MSNBC Keith Olberman mad guy commentary style, there is no debating the Lakers are now 0-8 ATS versus defensive teams with a defense percentage of 43 percent or less this season. Nor can one argue Phil Jackson’s team is down to 2-6 ATS in last eight as favorites.

Somewhere, Red Auerbach is getting ready to light another victory cigar.
