Monday’s Card Features – Two Selections – Both FREE
It’s good the weekend is over as baseball took a hit on Saturday and Sunday as 6 of our losses were by one run. Talk about your bad luck – if we were losing the game by a ton of runs, then it would be worrisome but not in this case. This week it will turn in our favor so we expect a huge week. Monday is a small card and we are giving both plays here for free. Check the end of the post for tonight’s two winners.
Spring Football Special
With basketball season coming to an end shortly and with summer just around the corner, that means only one thing – Football season is quickly approaching. It’s never too soon to start thinking about the gridiron as we are currently updating our football database with stats, systems and angles you won’t find anywhere else for the upcoming season. That’s what differentiates us from the thousands of the so-called services out there. We are always one step ahead of the competition and always one step ahead of the general public. We are running our annual Spring Football Special and this year it is bigger and better than ever. We normally cut the Football Package price in half but this year we are offering it for FREE. That’s right – FREE! Purchase our Baseball Season Package for $299 and not only do you get every play in every sport through the World Series, your package will be extended through the 2005 Super Bowl. That is an additional 4 months of Football Service Absolutely FREE. To sign up for this incredible deal, Click Here. Your service will begin the second you join and will continue for 9 months. That is a cost of just over $1 per day – you won’t find a deal like this anywhere else, especially from a Proven and Documented Winner. Check out our NFL Documented Record and our NCAA Documented Record from last season. Check out our record at Procappers – we are 9th out of 46 of some of the world’s best cappers out there over the past 365 days. And what makes our record that much more impressive is the fact that we have been there only since November when we were invited to join. Also, all plays there are recorded as 1 unit so our net unit value is even greater. Most services don’t even have their plays documented since they are afraid of making their record public.
Consistency, Integrity and Reliability
We have talked about it before and we will continue to stand by what we say. When we say we win, we actually mean it. When we say guarantee, we actually mean guarantee. There are hundreds and hundreds of services out there trying to get your money for their worthless picks. They know who they are and yet they could care less about any sort of integrity. That is why we are in another class. We work harder than anyone else to achieve that one important goal – making YOU a winner. Sure there are very good services out there who actually do know what they are doing, you just have to find them. We feel we are right at the top and for good reason. We win long term and will continue to do so. The kind of research we provide with every selection is second to none and is something you don’t get from 95% of other services. A look at our results for the past year since the beginning of football season:
September +17.2 units
October -41.5 units
November +51.7 units
December +5.3 units
January +19.1 units
February -37.9 units
March +14.9 units
April +7.0 units
May +2.5 units
These numbers are all based on 2-unit plays with the occasional 3-unit top plays included as well. Obviously the numbers are true and correct since we are fully documented – always have been and always will be. Need a breakdown of any of the above numbers? Feel free to email us and we will send you the plays.
FREE Selections For Monday, May 10, 2004
Indiana Pacers at Miami Heat 8:00 PM ET
Miami +3.5 –103 (2 Units)
Looking at the stats, one would have thought the first two games of this series would have been closer. For the second consecutive game, the Heat outrebounded the Pacers. They nearly doubled the Pacers in offensive rebounds (13-7) and pounded the Pacers in the paint (42 points to 26), yet they lost by double digits. The difference was shooting and that can be attributed to the home court advantage. Indiana shot 49.1% from the field during the first three quarters (26 of 53) compared to 38.9% for the Heat (21 of 54) while building a 69-54 lead. By then, it was over. If Indiana was dominating the stat sheets and winning like they are, then the Heat would be in serious trouble. But they aren’t. The Pacers have been fortunate to have different players step up at the right time. In Game 1, Pacers guard Jamaal Tinsley made 5 of 6 3-point shots to settle the game. In Game 2, Tinsley had one point, in the final minutes, on a technical free throw. It was Reggie Miller who stepped up with 19 points in 18 minutes. Jermaine O'Neal had a second consecutive subpar outing Saturday, hitting 5-of-15 shots as the Miami defense is doing a good job keeping him in check. The Heat believes there were many correctable errors made in Game 2. The most noticeable was the players' decision to suddenly abort the concept of team play and attempt to win the game individually. They relied on a series of isolation sets that made it easier for the Pacers to defend. Instead of using the fast-breaking style that got them within eight points late in Game 1, the Heat didn't have a fast-break point through the first three quarters. Miami has won 16 straight at home so for Indiana to come in and take Game 3 will be no easy task. “We're playing great at home. That's a place where our energy is up extremely high,” Alston said of AmericanAirlines Arena, where Miami has won 16 in a row. “Guys feel like they can shoot the ball from halfcourt and win at home. We witnessed what happened to us when we were 2-0 and went to New Orleans.” Indiana has won six straight playoff games by double-digits, an NBA record and that alone gives us value here.
Toronto Blue Jays (Hentgen) at Kansas City Royals (Anderson) 8:10 PM ET
Over 10.5 Toronto/Kansas City -116 (2 Units)
Pat Hentgen has certainly been consistent this season. He has allowed between 6 and 8 hits in his last 5 starts and he has given up 4 earned runs in 5 innings of work in each of his last three outings. Surprisingly, the Toronto bullpen just happened to close the door in those 3 starts, allowing a total of two runs after Hentgen exited. That is the same bullpen that is ranked 17th in baseball with a 4.15 ERA so they can blow up at any time. The Blue Jays have won 5 straight games, averaging 5.8 rpg during that span. The pitching has been excellent during their winning streak, but it’s been the starters as they have gone at least 6 innings in 6 of their last 8 games, none of which was accomplished by Hentgen. The offense has played better on the road all season, as they are hitting .294 away from SkyDome, which is 1st in the American League. Brian Anderson has been even worse. Anderson has allowed at least 7 hits in each of his seven starts this season and he has given up a minimum of 5 earned runs in five of those starts. The Blue Jays knocked him around for a season high 11 hits and 10 runs, 6 of which were earned in only 4 innings. The Blue Jays are hitting .323 (21-for-65) off Anderson and Vernon Wells, while just 3-for-5 but that includes 2 home runs. The Kansas City offense is hitting the ball well, scoring 15 runs in their last series over a good Boston pitching staff. They return home where they are 2nd in the American League with a .300 average. 8 of the last 11 meetings have gone over in this series, with the teams combining for 11.9 rpg during the 11 games (12.3 rpg in KC). The outfield fence in the alleys and straightaway center were moved back 10 feet in Kaufman Stadium before this season and that has supposedly made a difference in scoring this year as runs are down by 2.4 rpg compared to last season. However, they have played a league low 12 home games and it’s interesting to note that the batting average is .291 at Kaufman which is 2nd highest in the American League behind The Ballpark in Arlington.
