Figured I'd sign up for the "free picks" on VegasInsider, where they give you one free pick a day. Who knows how good these will be, but I figure I'll ride the free picks for a unit each day to find out.
Free Pick: HEAT -2.5 (-110)
Analysis: The Detroit Pistons are slumping at the wrong time as they enter a pivotal game against the visiting Miami Heat on Tuesday. Detroit has dropped four straight and seven of its last eight contests as it trails eighth-place Miami by 1 1/2 games for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot. Detroit suffered a devastating 109-95 loss to lowly New York on Monday to further extend its untimely slide. The Pistons play three of their next four at home as they attempt to end their funk before the regular season concludes with three of four on the road. Miami holds a one-half game lead over Chicago for the No. 8 spot but has dropped three of its last four contests. The brief slump comes after the Heat won 23 of 28 games to recover from an 11-30 record at the midway point. Miami fell 112-108 to Boston on Sunday despite center Hassan Whiteside delivering 19 points and 15 rebounds. Whiteside didn't display any signs of the ankle injury he suffered Thursday as he posted his 15th consecutive double-double and 51st of the season. Heat are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss and are 14-2-1 ATS in their last 17 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Pistons are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games playing on 0 days rest.
ETA: just signed up for it today, but this game happened yesterday, not sure why this was the pick I got. But the Heat won by 1 last night so didn't cover. Not a great start to this little experiment.

That's a stone cold bitch of a line. The kind that won't even let you get your pickup line fully out of your mouth before she shuts you down.
I'll have to see how it moves by tomorrow.
@Hark_The_Sound_2010 is the contact on this one. He has a "Hi Stranger" bond with Pastner and the Ramblin' Wreck this year. I'll await his decision.
Relax muchacho. I gotchoo. I literally JUST locked my bet in.
Teased GT +9 and UNDER 138
If you have a beat on the halftime line, I'll bet that shit with you
Remember the good ole days when Bovada ****ed up the lines for the UNC Pitt game and we won like $600 on it only to get an "I'm sorry" email from them?
Ahhhhhhh
Guess I'll ride SCar in the first game but think it's a crapshoot.
Im on UNC ATS and going in on the over
I misread what you poasted. I'm in agreement and it made me chuckle. I stayed away from this game, but if I would have I betted, I would have done the same thing.
GOOD LUCK BUDDY!!
UNC -5
Justin Jackson made FTs OVER 2.5
UNC first half -2
UNC first team to score
UNC first team to reach 20 points

I thought there was zero chance the mentality of this team would let it get to the Final Four this year, and I thought there was zero chance we'd lose in the tournament last season, so what the hell do I know

Well, from what you just poasted, nothing.
Correct. I already poasted before the tourney starts -- in the OOTB basketball thread -- that if we win the whole thing this year I will submit to the will of OOTB and let y'all pick my avatar and/or tell me to GFM and/or never poast about basketball again and/or never poast again period.
I'm willing to accept my fate.
After tonight I want to know who's in the red and who's in the black since this thread started.
I lost $198 when Arkansas decided to go full retard against VT in the Belk Bowl. And that was back in December sooo
I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down in the NCAA tourney, even after going 4 for 4 Saturday night.
Took UNC -2 and the Over at 154.5.
Why do I keep doing this to myself :-/

Balancing out the money coming in on Gonz ... that's always the key: balanced betting. I would assume Gonz is +1.5 at -115.
