MOTOWN BABY

Las Vegas - Hoopin' tonight in the Motor City and gonna take a look at the Pistons plus double digits against the 76ers. Obviously, these teams live in two different worlds, but if you have not been following, Detroit is one of the BEST spread investments in the NBA. The Pistons have covered, are you sitting, 15 of the last 17, with two pushes along the way. Yea, FIFTEEN of SEVENTEEN and the calculator tells me that works out to 88%! Gonna pencil in the Sixers for the win, but because they've covered only three of the last 11, at around +10 points, if you buy the hook, gimme Motown for the money!

Keeping up with the money, here's a look at the overall picture from the casino world. Just to take the sports number a little deeper, there was $781 million bet with a win of $30.9 mill. That's a hold of ONLY 3.96%. And that's pretty, pretty, pretty LOW!

Nevada casinos' net win in February:

- Penny slots $282.3 million

- Blackjack $114.0 million

- Baccarat $62.9 million

- Roulette $36.0 million

- Sports $30.9 million

- Craps $30.8 million
