NBA Western Conference Playoffs LAC vs SAS (+2) CATZ: You would think for a game seven there would be a ton more analysis and general waffling on my part right? Not today, as soon as I saw the Spurs were getting points in a game seven it was a pretty easy decision. This has been a really fun series, but if I'm gonna put actual cold hard cash on one of these teams, I feel way more comfortable with Pop, Duncan and Kawhi even if they are on the road. Spurs advance to play the Warriors, Dirty Picks moves on to the most important boxing match in history. NUTZ: Totally agree with this pick for two reasons: 1) I don't trust the Clippers. This could be one of those games where CP3 plays great, but turns the ball over in some crucial situation down the stretch. Or maybe Deandre just does something really stupid. The Clips have a shit stain of a record screwing up these big games in the end. The Spurs know how to close it out at the end of a game (unless it's the Heat). 2) The Spurs are the Spurs. Until they completely turn their roster over and hire a new coach you have to ride with them and the points.  Mayweather (-200) vs Pacquiao The fight that saved boxing! Well at least it is supposed to. Regardless, the amount of money flowing in or around this match is insane. From the massive viewing parties, to actually buying a ticket to the event, this fight should stimulate the economy and keep Vegas in bidness for at least 10 more years. There isn't much to say for the actuall combat portion of this spectacle. Mayweather is the better fighter and has been. I don't like him at all, and I hope Manny kicks his ass, but if I'm betting: my money is on Money.  2015 Kentucky Derby  Materiality (12/1): The fastest horse in the race! Seriously I saw some stats on this horse and apparently his speed figure is ridiculous! I don't know what the means, but I like the odds. Apparently he/she is a young horse and may freak out in a big race. So that's not good...

Kentucky Derby

Ladies and Gentlemen, boy and girls grab your giant, most ridiculous hat possible and head on down to the Churchhill Downs. Today is the Kentucky Derby, which is basically Horse Super Bowl for Las Vegas, and what kind of a sports gambling advice blog would we be if we didn't make official Dirty Picks horse picks. The way I see it after years of extensive equestrian research (20 minutes on google) there are really four options you can go with to win this year'a derby.

Danza (8 to 1)
The only reason I am even picking this horse is because his riders name is Joe Bravo! Joe fuckin Bravo! Doesn't that sound like the name of a soon to be Triple Crown winner? I can see the headlines now "Bravo makes glue out of competitors". Throw a hundred down on this horse and watch him outrun the competition to the tune of at least three and half lengths (no idea what that means).

California Chrome (5/2) (WINNER!)
This years favorite. The real deep gamblers will immediately drop hard facts on you, including the fact that only 5 out of the last 34 favorites have actually won the race. But what does that really mean? So fuck the field, take the safe bet and win some quiet cash.

General A Rod (15/1)
Not the biggest long shot in the field, but certainly not expected to win. This horse has apparently had a solid career leading up to this point, but the real kicker is here is that the rider won last years Derby. So obviously this guy known how to ride this horse to victory (literally). Look for the rider to push the tempo and General A Rod to get out of the gates quick.

So there are three really solid picks and undoubtedly the winner will emerge from that group. If you really want to live dangerously who should you go with? Let me ask you a question. Do you like making money? Because if you do throw your money on...

Wildcat Red (15/1)
Not only am I partial to any sort of catz, but this horse is described online as a "consistent colt". Well I don't know of any better occasion for a "consistent colt" than the race described as "consistently tough to win". Also this horse has won 4 of 7 races all the time and is primed to shock the world and steal this Derby. Enjoy the upset win today and feel free to use any of this information in conversation with your horse friends so that you look really smart.
