pennies from heaven

Las Vegas - Not gonna lace up the skates tonight in the Western Conference Final, but will head over to the MLB board and try the Rangers over the Rays. Texas had a rough start to the season, but it looks like the tide has finally turned, with four wins in the last five games (not including last night). We have been following lefty Martin Perez and his 3-2 record really doesn't capture what he has been doing the last seven times out. If you're sitting, Perez has thrown a total of 48 innings and allowed only 4 earned runs for a SICK 0.75 ERA. That's ZERO POINT SEVEN FIVE! Don't care what the price is, don't care who starts for the Rays, because we're throwing a fat bundle of chips at the Rangers.

Just in case you're keeping track, here's a look at the Nevada casinos' net win in April:

- Penny slots: $305.0 million.

- Blackjack $94.9 million.

- Baccarat $51.8 million.

- Roulette $39.5 million.

- Craps $33.8 million.

- Sports: $25.4 million.
