what is thing I’m watching with a ball and baskets

Dumb Luck

The Kentucky Derby was yesterday so I went to the local track. I decided before I left I was going to bet $20-25 on the race. I also knew which horses I would bet on Hold Me Back and Advice. I arrived at the track and about 25 minutes to the race I found an open betting machine and bet $8 on each horse and got a $4 voucher for the left over money I did not use.

The plan was to find a different race to use that for. I walked around for a while looking for a race to bet but the TVs were all crowded. Then the plan was just cash in my voucher but all the lines were too long. I saw an open betting machine and decided to place another bet on the derby. I placed the $4 on a long shot Mine That Bird to show and found a place to watch the race. The race started my horses where all towards the middle of the pace but once they made the turn for home I saw a horse charging from the rail. The horse ran passed everyone and won easily and then I realized it was one of my horse Mine That Bird.

The $4 bet turned into $51.60 so I took my $31.60 profit and went home.

Thoughts after 2 games of Spurs/Mavs

The first game started out well for the spurs jumping out to a 13 point lead. Then the benches came in and the spurs got destroyed. I liked how Duncan looked good despite the loss.

The second game Parker and company jumped out early and never looked back. Parker lead the team in scoring with 38.

The series is tied going to Dallas I think game three could be key a spurs win get home court advantage back.

NBA Playoff picks and awards

I’ll start out east Cleveland vs Detroit the Cavs are just to much for the Pistions so Cavs in 5

Atlanta vs Miami I think Wade carries the Heat to the series win in 6

Orlando vs Philadelphia Magic in 6

Boston and Chicago even with out KG Boston in 5

 Like everyone I think Cleveland wins the east.

West

Los Angeles vs Utah Lakers in 5

Portland vs Houston even with the blazers youth I say they win it in 7

Denver vs New Orleans Denver in 6

San Antonio vs Dallas the spurs are my favorite team that being said I am a little worried about them because losing Manu and Tim not being 100%.  I think they still win this series in 7.

The west again I’m going with the easy pick the Lakers.

I think the Cavs in the championship in 7

Podcampaz 2008

Last weekend was PodcampAZwhich was a great time.  I would like to thank everyone that put on the event.  The sessions were nice.  The best part thought was seeing all the people some I meet before and some I saw for the first time.  Sorry this was so short I’m not much of a writer.  Well until next time take care.

PodcampAZ 2.0

We now have one week until Podcamp.  I can’t wait to see people I meet there last year and meet some new people.  This year we also have 2 days of it.  Well if you’re here the night before and want something to do I suggest going to Tempe Marketplace for Hoobstank and Saving Abel free concert.  If anyone in west Phoenix is willing to give me a ride to one or both events it would be appreciated.

Update

I had a friend ask me the other day if I still blog.  I told him yes but I really don’t have anything to say.  So here is a quick update I been looking for work I applied at a few places, but haven’t got any calls back yet.  I also went to a few movies Iron Man, The Happening, and The Incredible Hulk.  I liked all of them Iron Man was my favorite of them.  I also went to a few baseball games and that is about it.
