Superbowl looks clear to me so I'll come out with it now in hopes of getting decent #'s: Pats ML and UN. Danimal will probably have the Australian Open (on ESPN and TSN) which goes 3 AM ET Sunday. Watch here and on Twitter. Could be a late nite Saturday Night (which is alrite for fightin' as Elton says). See you next Friday at 6 for the props. Big ups to Joe Comartin. Joe is our Member of Parliament for Windsor and Tecumseh in Ontario. He has gotten a proposed bill to Canadian Parliament. Its aim is to remove the outdated federal legislation now in place outlawing single-game sports betting. It would turn control over to the individual provinces who could then legalize it as they see fit. It now must pass the Senate, perhaps as early as March. Looks like Ontario casinos would have -120 (1.83) pricing. That's 4/4 on sides and totals we put out for the NHL and NFL title games last year. With Bruins and UN in Game 7 and Packers and OV in the Superbowl, we swept the GOY's for hockey and football. We'll be using Twitter to post all the free picks. We'll keep to the same basic sked for releasing. Fridays at 6 PM for the weekend. Weeknites at 6 and SAT-SUN around noon during hockey and basketball. Twitter will enable rough time-stamping and provide a wider reach looking to the future. Of course we'll get everything posted on the site eventually, but Twitter will be the go-to bird of record. The big thing will be to get every play out with at least our normal hour of lead time. With the increased flexibility in following the action and deciding on moves, we'll need increased flexibility from you, our followers. I'd suggest checking Twitter at 6, 7:30, and 9 on a typical winter nite. Maybe every hour and a half on SAT-SUN too, starting at noon. Just click on marcbryanjacob at the top right of the Twitter widget, or click on "Join the conversation". Or go to twitter.com/marcbryanjacob on your phone. Always add the middle name or you'll be plunged into the world of the high-end fashionistas. And I've decided to keep posting the plays in American-style odds, when time permits. Go to covers.com. Hover over community home (across the top, 2nd from right). Click search in the dropdown menu. Click the little circle to the left of username to dot it. Type in "marcbryanjacob" in search text. Click search (just to right). Click any of a column of marcbryanjacob under Started By at far right. That will put you onto my playbook (top left of my space). If you're thinking of opening any new sportsbook accounts, go to the Decimal Odds Page at the bottom and see WHERE TO BET. As per usual watch for picks Fridays at 6 PM, with CFL and NFL. The picks will consist of sides and totals for the weekend slate of games starting at 7 PM Friday. There will be at least 3 sides and/or totals. No guarantees in future of any of these conditions: at least 1 side; at least 1 total; at least 1 NFL pick; at least 1 CFL pick; at least 1 NHL pick; at least 1 NBA pick; or that they will not cost a nominal fee (we're thinking $5.50/week). In fact, while we're on the topic, there are no guarantees about much of anything in life, save maybe death and taxes. And we look on the concept of "100,000 STAR LOCK!!!" with a chuckle. But we do guarantee these selections will be well researched and thoughtfully considered with an eye to giving the parlay bettor the most valuable kind of leverage available on any particular sports weekend. We will concentrate on adapting to the offerings of Caesars Windsor and Casino Niagara, as well as Ontario Proline and Pointspread. We will also endeavor to keep up with what's being offered in the other Canadian provinces, Nevada, and Delaware. There's talk of New Jersey, Ohio, and Iowa getting in the mix (NJ votes on legal sports betting in November). And of course if you want to use the plays straight up online or against your local guy... |
