    ROCKETS! new car, here I come!

    Betting $1819 to win $20,009 for the Rockets to win this series against GSW. Rockets looked great for 1.5 quarters last night, and if they keep that kind of play up, they will steal home court advantage with a game 2 victory. After that, they have all the momentum they need to take this series. I am glad GSW won game 1, it gave me a better series price on Houston, at 11:1. It's worth taking a shot here, this is the NBA. Anything can happen.

    It's all profit. I figure why not, take a shot and roll the dice. Just a gut feeling this hits. If I lose, I am still up, and if this would've hit and I didn't place a bet on it, I would always be kicking myself for not betting it. Sometimes you just have to pull the trigger.

    I would have never had the balls to put that much money on it. Maybe $50 tops for me. You got balls.

    Damn, I think GSW sweep has way more value.

    If you really think the Rockets can beat them Warriors, why not Rockets to win it all at 20:1? You think they beat GSW on the road and then fall to either East team?

    I can picture you riding the bus in a few weeks and cursing Dwight Howard and Harden the whole way.

    I honestly think if the Cavs beat Atlanta, the Cavs have a great shot to win it all if they play Houston, so that's why I didn't make that bet. I am up over $5,000 in profit from the playoffs this far, so this is far from an "all in" play, and even if I lose the bet, I am still doing really well. No bus for me, regardless of the outcome, thanks.

    Think about this. It took Shaun Livingston going off and a Howard injury + Curry blazing from 3 (which he is obviously capable of) for GS to pull one out in the 4th against a team playing Terrence Jones at center. Terrence Jones, who blew last night. GS is a great regular season team, but they will be proven to be incapable of winning a championship. If they beat Houston then Cleveland will handle them.

    Houston IMO is better built than GS for playoff basketball, it's just Houston has no luck with injuries. Houston was basically down 3 starters last night after Dwight got hurt. Dwight was obviously not the same, he couldn't even jump really.

    If Houston steals game 2 without Howard at all I will be counting my money. I think Houston is at least 2-2 after 4 games, and if they win game 2, 3-1 is not so farfetched.

    I think Houston keeps it close either way tonight. Sorry about your luck, but Houston isn't getting blown out here tonight. They might not win, but it will not be a 10+ point loss.

    A little of both. It's profit either way. I just had a gut feeling and went with it. Win or lose, I am still up quite a bit. Just felt like rolling the dice here.

    Reminds me of the shot I took on Chicago to win the East at +785.

    I just hope for you that if you lose it's a sweep or a 4-1 series. There's nothing worse than taking this type of shot and coming close like I did, when it was all the way down to about +150 before game 4 vs the Cavs and they dominated game 4 for 3 quarters. When you do it feels like you lost 20k. If you lose quickly at least it only feels like you lost 2k.

    Good luck. I don't really see it but I don't hate the bet that much either.

    Well put. If it gets to game 7 I will probably hedge to come out of this bet with at least 2 grand profit, and roll the dice on the rest.

    Just placed a bet on game 2. $981 to win $5003, Houston ML, game 2. I already have a series bet with Houston, and I believe if they win this series, they have to win tonight. Good luck, everyone!

    Rockets were 1 play away from winning game 2. So close!! Shocked they neglected to call timeout at the end there, but oh well, on to the next one. Houston needs game 3 big time. I have all the confidence in the world they take care of business tonight, and in game 4 to tie the series.

    Why not drop another bill on the +3500. That'll cover the taxes on the new ride.

    Yeah... if game 2 would've ended differently, and I was sitting at 2-2 right now I would honestly bet a bit more on tonight's game, but I am sitting at 1-3 and have lost faith. GSW is just too great of a shooting team to think they will not close this series out tonight.

    Big time gut check. Nuff respect!
    Howard has played like a bum, what is his deal? Is he underpaid? He barley tries at all and he gives up on loose balls all the time.
