The Jones Report: Wednesday, January 21st Basketball Picks
Written January 20, 2009 by Nick Jones
First off in this edition of The Jones Report I want to address a concerned visitor whom requested more free picks to be published. If you are looking solely for today’s free pick please skip to the bottom of this article. Now, lets not get things confused, the idea is to take the sportsbooks for as much as we can all season long. Now, in order to do this we have to limit the action put on the table each week. For instance, if you make six basketball picks each day you have to win two games more each week than if you had the same winning percentage making only one pick per day. Reason being you have to cover all that extra juice from each pick. Every ten bets at $100 means you made the equivalent to 11 bets if each line was -110. So, if I put out one to three premium picks each day and several free picks, that means we have to win even more games to turn the same amount of profit. Why lay all that extra cash on the table each day? So, if you want daily free picks then sign up for the free pick newsletter, otherwise the free picks will continue to be published as often as I see fit to ensure we are all successful at making our basketball picks. Now, back to what matters.
Today’s free basketball pick comes in NBA action on a game that features to playoff hopeful teams in the Utah Jazz and Houston Rockets. The head to head history between these two teams is in slight favor of Utah but when taking into consideration of the games being played at Houston it is pretty close to 50/50 with a slight advantage going on the favor of Houston. The key to this game for the Rockets is the fact that the Utah defense has been terrible on the road allowing 101.5 points per game.
The Rockets always do well when on their long home streaks. Houston is 26-11 ATS (+13.9 Units) after playing 4 consecutive home games. In addition to being on a nice hot streak at home they have a very nice overall hot streak winning 5 of their last 6 games.
This game also falls into a basketball betting system that has delivered a strong performance of winning basketball picks at 60.6% ATS over the past 5 seasons. This system is to play on home favorites like Houston after they have won 4 of their last 5 games, when this home favorite is a good team winning between 60% to 75% of their games, and playing against a team with a winning record.
Today’s free pick is to play on the Houston Rockets -3 available at Sports Interaction. Now, if you click the link provided you are also able to get a special promotional deposit bonus.
