Place Your Bets: Best Available Futures

The lines listed below come from BetUs.com.  I know you have to wait a long time for the bets to go through, but the payouts are worth it if you have the patience.  As of today in my opinion these are the best available Future Bets that are out there.  Personally, I have had more success with future bets.

NBA Futures:  Team to Win NBA 2009-10 Championship

Miami Heat:  +4000
If the Heat end up acquiring Carlos Boozer and Lamar Odom, this could be a really good bet.
San Antonio Spurs: +1400
I hate to admit it, but the Spurs would have made it deeper in the playoffs if Ginobli had been healthy.  Now that they picked up Tricky Dick Jefferson, and drafted DeJuan Blair they should be even more dangerous.
Portland Trailblazers: +1800
They have a decent shot, and at 18 to 1 odds it’s worth a bet.

NFL Futures: Team to Win AFC Championship

June 12th Houston Sports FaF Smear (and John Daly)

I came to L.A. to make rock n’ roll.  Along the way I had to sell my soul.

Show us your tits!

John Daly is an everyman’s hero.  I have no problem stating that in print.  Say it to yourself or scream it from the roof tops, “John Daly is my hero.”

As I write this, Daly is in the middle of his second round at the St. Jude Classic after shooting a 72 in the opening round.  Don’t call it a comeback… yet.  In fact, it may not be a comeback at all.  This is a whole new Daly.  Same gut, same swing, same smoke slowly exhaling as he walks the course, but definitely a whole new look.

We can all relate to a man that gets drunk and passes out at Hooters.  Who hasn’t been there before?  Who doesn’t want to pass out in hooters.  They’re so warm and cozy and pillowy… wait, what are we talking about again?  Oh, John Daly, that’s right.

Fourth and Fifty fully throws our support behind this giant among caddies.  Good luck, this afternoon, John.

In other news and reminders:

• Lakers over Magic last night in the most exciting game of the series.  I was really hoping that Pau Gasol would have taken a swing at Pietrus at the end of the game.  That was a cheap foul for no reason.
• Game Seven of the Stanley Cup Final is tonight.  Win and the cup is your personal goblet for a day.  Lose and let the ice freeze your tears as they meet the surface.
• Eagles… You are idiots.  IDIOTS!!  I’m not saying that you need to ditch Donovan McNabb for Kevin Kolb (though I wouldn’t have minded) but, don’t restructure McNabb’s contract just for the sake of it when he has two years left.  Who is going to pay for the dent in my wall left from the D-cell I just threw?  Can I get $5.3M to repair the damage?

And now back to your regularly scheduled Houston sports updates:
