The Indiana Pacers have been in brilliant form in the NBA of late and I can’t see the Boston Celtics getting close to them today. The line is 12 points which is larger than I would ordinarily like but I think they are good enough to cover it.
Best bet: Indiana Pacers to cover the line (-12.0 points) against the Boston Celtics in the NBA.

All eyes will be on the Bendigo Race track today at 12:59pm to see the much awaited debut of Black Caviar’s sister Belle Couture. Expect her to be at similar odds to her sister in that eve so won’t be getting involved.
40 minutes before hand though I like the 3 year old filly from the Sadler yard, Sarawak. It is the best horse in the race and has D Oliver aboard and that is enough for me. Rattled home first time out at Geelong a fortnight ago and should just have too much pace here.
The only restriction I would put on here is the price you might get. If the odd dip below $2.00 (which given the quality of the others in the race they might) I would keep the money in your pocket and hold it for another race and maybe another day.
Best Bet: Bendigo Race 2 Number 10 Sarawak
“And if I did, what then?
Are you aggriev’d therefore?
The sea hath fish for every man,
And what would you have more?”
Thus did my mistress once,
Amaze my mind with doubt;
And popp’d a question for the nonce
To beat my brains about.
Whereto I thus replied:
“Each fisherman can wish
That all the seas at every tide
Were his alone to fish.
“And so did I (in vain)
But since it may not be,
Let such fish there as find the gain,
And leave the loss for me.
“And with such luck and loss
I will content myself,
Till tides of turning time may toss
Such fishers on the shelf.
“And when they stick on sands,
That every man may see,
Then will I laugh and clap my hands,
As they do now at me.”
In basketball in America today I have a hunch that the Houston Rockets will bounce back from their crushing loss yesterday against the Indiana Pacers and put a score on the Detroit Pistons. I expect them to cover the line.
Best Bet: Houston Rockets to cover the line (-2.5 points) against the Detroit Pistons in the NBA.
