The Kentucky Derby odds and Pacquiao vs Hatton odds are upon us, so today is perhaps my last chance to steal your attention until then.

I “treated” you hockey betting fans to first-round Stanley Cup betting playoff predictions in Haiku. I shall now try to outdo myself with second round NHL playoff picks…in gangsta rap lyric form.

Here goes nothin, sportsbook playas…
