San Antonio could replace the cry “Remember the Alamo!” with “Don’t forget the Spurs.”

Many NBA observers predicted pre-Playoffs that Dallas successfully would defend the NBA Western Conference crown it won a year ago and go on to emerge victorious in the Finals.

Some would-be lawyers and present-day Professional Handicappers League members make a strong case for the Spurs, however.

The two Texas clubs already have displayed vulnerability and are 1-1 entering the third game of their respective opening series.

Houston’s Rockets, who are up on Utah two games to one, are a third Lone Star State representative and still loom as a long shot threat in the West.

Golden State, making its first Playoffs appearance in 13 years, beat the Mavericks in Game 1, while Denver did the same to the Spurs.

Dallas was laying 4 1/2 points in Mile High City action Friday night, while San Antonio was a 2-point road choice on Saturday.

UNLV pre-law graduate Jorge Gonzalez forsees a Finals rematch of the 2005 meeting between the Spurs and Detroit, which leads Orlando 3-0 in their first-round series.

“San Antonio is going to beat the Pistons,” he declared, even though the Spurs likely would have to get past Phoenix — owner of a 2-1 edge on the Los Angeles Lakers — before any date with the Mavs.

Right now, though, the Vegas Wise Sports Service operator and Sin City sports radio host simply is enjoying watching postseason play.

Gonzalez believes that top to bottom, this is the most talented Playoffs he recalls seeing and a tough one to pick.

“It just jumps up and grabs you,” he said.

“There’s true parity in the NBA this year.”

The Spurs get a star from Gonzalez, who ruled the PHL’s pro hoops standings last season, because of the punch their three leading scorers pack.

“(Tim) Duncan, (Tony) Parker and (Manu) Ginobili,” Gonzalez said, clicking off names of the trio, which collectively staved off a late Game 2 Denver rally in San Antonio.

Gonzalez has had five No. 1 finishes since he joined the PHL about five years ago.

Nationally-known handicapper Big Al McMordie went on record targeting Dallas as the team to beat, but nevertheless had only nice things to say about the Spurs.

“San Antonio always is a dangerous team come Playoffs time, and, surprisingly, led the league in margin of victory, at plus 8.81 ppg going into (the last game regular-season game),” McMordie, an attorney by training, noted.

“The Spurs’ (regular-season record wasn’t as gaudy as Dallas’ (58-24 vs. 67-15), but Gregg Popovich’s crew bested Dallas in victory margin.

“Some of this has to do with the Spurs’ poor record this year in close games, and Dallas’ great record in that department.

“San Antone has blown out the bad teams this season, while struggling against the better teams …

“I expect San Antonio to get to the Western Conference Finals, at the least.”

The entries close for the British Lottery Awards on February 12 2010. The awards are given to projects financed by the lottery that the public votes as the best. This shows an area of the UK lottery draw that is often overlooked. Sally Lindsey, a television actress, launched the awards at a ceremony held in the London Transport Museum. Sally was accompanied by volunteers from the Women’s Royal Voluntary Service, which was important, as both the WRVS and the museum are beneficiaries of the British National Lottery.

The lottery is usually seen in terms of winners and losers and yet every week there are a great many people who win. They are the good causes and charities.

Every week the lottery raises £25 million for areas of need in many walks of life: 28 pence of every entry goes to the charity fund. £24 billion has been contributed to deserving projects across the UK since the lottery was started in 1994.

The cathedral of St Davids in Pembrokeshire was constructed in 1181 on the spot where an earlier church had stood. Through the years it has been subject to vandalism by soldiers, an earthquake and ongoing erosion by the weather. This fight for survival has been made a little easier in recent years following a grant from the National Lottery. This means the south cloister and north porch could be rebuilt.

The ITV television network screened a series of programmes called ‘The People’s Millions,’ which also distributed lottery funds. One project that received a grant from this was at Rowan Gate Primary School, which received £50000 to update their physiotherapy pool to improve access for disabled swimmers.

A major scheme financed by the UK lottery draw funded a programme of projects focussing on the remembering of servicemen who fought in the Second World War. £17 million was given to the Heroes Return scheme to enable former combatants to return to the scenes of so many memories. This included 58 veterans of the Royal Navy who were then able to visit Penang and Singapore.

Grants of between £500 and £20000 were allocated as an extension of this initiative, Home Front Recall, to projects that commemorated the people and events of the war. A further programme called Their Past Your Future gave children valuable opportunities to understand the war and meet people affected by it.

Twenty eight percent of UK lottery draw grants have been allocated to the most deprived areas of Britain where they have made a big difference. All in all the National Lottery has made a huge impact in various sections of Britain in the 15 years it has been operating. On the surface it would be easy to believe the lottery is simply about its draw winners and losers but its effects are clearly more positive and significant than is initially apparent.

According to legend, in the 1950’s a craps player named Oscar developed a progressive betting system for grinding out a small profit. And so, Oscar’s Grind was born. While the system yields only small profits, it has the nice feature of operating at low risk. You won’t win a gazillion dollars, but you won’t lose a fortune either.

Oscar’s Grind System will win one unit of profit per series of bets. To start playing you bet one unit. If you win, bet one unit again. When you lose, a series starts and you bet one unit a second time. Never increase the size of your bet after a loss, but every time you win increase your bet by one unit. However, any time if a bet would win and earn you more than one unit on the series, reduce your bet so that if it won, you would only win one unit. Although that sounds complicated, it’s not. Let’s take an example and see how easily it works.

Grab a pencil and paper and follow along with me. We’ll start with this series of wins and losses from my actual craps play (pass line bets only) at Caesar’s in Atlantic City. W, L, L, W, L, L, L, L, W, W, L, L, W, W, W, L, W, W. There are nine wins and nine losses, so this is not an unusual sequence. Using Oscar’s Grind we start by betting one unit and win, so we haven’t started a series yet. We bet one unit again. The bet loses, a series starts, and we bet one unit again. This bet loses, but our next bet of one unit wins, so we raise our bet to two units; it loses. The next three bets (each one two units) all lose, but the next two-unit bet wins so we bet three units, which also wins.

Let’s stop for a minute and see what our loss is so far for this series. Our results were: -1, -1, +1, -2, -2, -2, -2, +2, +3, which calculates to a net loss of four units. (I’m leaving out the very first bet we placed because a series didn’t begin until we got a loss.) Keep following along with me. Our next results are -4, -4, +4, +5 and now we have a loss of three units on the series. Our next bet calls for six units but if we won, our series would show more than one unit of profit; so we only bet four units. The bet wins.

This series is over. We won our one unit, and so we start a new series with a bet of one unit. It loses, but the next two bets of one unit both win. Notice I can’t bet two units after the first win because that would win me two units for the series, so I only bet one unit. Overall we show a win of two series, which works out to two units of profit, and we also won a unit for the very first bet before a series started. Three total. It’s not much, but it’s better than losing. Also notice that flat betting of nine wins and nine losses nets us exactly zero.

When using Oscar’s Grind be sure to record your bets and results on a piece of paper so you don’t lose track of what you are doing. Even if you go to a land-based casino, don’t be intimidated, take a pencil and paper with you and write everything down. You must stay with the system once you start; set limits for the amount you want to win, and the amount you are willing to lose. Once set, stick to those limits.
