Just put 2k on this, no special reason why just Rockets on a back to back, there last few wins have been cupcake wins. Cavs are coming home off long road trip, and should be happy to be home where they are undefeated. And oh yea they have a guy named Lebron James who is an absolute freak, Lebron will have Yao in foul trouble in the 1st quarter because noone on Rockets can keep lebron from getting to the rack, but I guess noone in the league can stop him from getting there, so encolsing 7 is a low number, get it now it should go up to 8 maybe 9 after the big bettors start hammering them.

Best of luck to you sir, on them as well (though not quite as big). Been riding the Cavs all season, working out pretty well.
New to the forum, just wanted to say that I've been enjoying all the insight and good will, a lot of knowledge and hard work in here and I wish everyone the best.Comment -

Cap stop buying points, its no good for you.Comment -
Cavs roll easily by 10+, no need to buy pointsComment -
I locked it in at 7.5, line changed while placing my bet.
shouldnt make a difference thoughComment -
you guys got to go with houston shane battier is one of the leagues best defenders. Also with yao in the center i dont see any one else scoring.Comment -
Cleveland so far is amazing against the spread. But look at there schedule, they have beat up on some of the worst teams in the league. The have a couple qaulity victories but mostly scrubs. The public of course is going to overbet the cavs this game. Houston is finally getting healthy and has won 4 in a row going into the game. Yes the cavs are coming home from a 4 game road trip, but check the records of teams playing there first game at home after a 3 game and longer road trip. You will be suprised.Comment -
I'm on the cavs at -7.5...looks good to me!Comment -
You guys who are saying buying points is no good obviously have not got a clue. I put $500 down on the Cavs last week against the Thunder and bought 2 full points just because of the way I capped the game and I pushed and got my money back instead of losing $500. I did the same thing in the Pistons game two weeks ago and pushed my parlay and was able to keep the parlay alive and won. Yes, there is not much value when you buys points (-130, -140), but where is the value when you lose your money because you were too greedy and didn't buy those points. Hooks, btw, are almost too important to ignore.

You obviously have no clue, you gambling recreationaly for fun based on your opinions which are basically guesses. There is no problem with that, and have fun donating money to the books each year.Comment -
Grow up and come back with a response that has some substance in your arguement. I just proved my case that buying points work, yet you come back with dribble that doesn't support your arguement whatsoever. GLComment -
Who cares about buying points, just because somebody doesnt do it, doesn't particularly mean people who do are any less good at what they do. Also to natescott, most teams in the nba are pretty much considered scrubs, so you cant really blame the cavs for not facing much quality competition. Houston has beaten Orlando, Phoenix (opinion whether they're good or not), and Dallas in the second game of the season on the road. Those are the only real quality teams they've faced in my opinion and beaten. Cleveland has beaten Dallas in dallas, Denver twice, and Atlanta (opinion). Like i said theres not a lot of really good teams in the nba right now.
New angle to look at though, instead of looking at who beat who, look at who lost to who. All 4 of Clevelands losses are on the road against Atlanta, New orleans, Boston, and Detroit. Detroit kinda sucks but the rest are pretty quality. Most of Houstons losses are to quality teams but two that stick out to me are at the clippers and at memphis, at home to Indiana, against San Antonio(while injured). Point is Houston has lost to worse teams, and Cleveland gets up and plays every game especially at home. Really think Houston can hang with Cleveland but the cavs weapons offensively and defensively are gonna be too much for the rockets.Comment -
Nick, that was not my agruement. I was basically saying that buying points is not a bad thing to do because some of these guys were saying don't buy points. I never said it's bad "not" to buy points either. I do both depending on the matchup and how I see the game from my perspective.
GL tonight!

I agree with you also, I like the intelligent response.From a betting standpoint Ill stay away from this game. Cleveland is perfect at home but at some point there going to lose, tonight might be the night. Overall the NBA does have to many scrub teams, its pathetic actually.Comment -
Buying Points
To settle the argument of buying points, it is only good to buy points mathematically to move the line off of the key numbers in the NBA. The key numbers in the NBA are 2 and 7, if you can move the line in your favor away from these numbers it is a solid and correct play in the long run but anything other than that is usually a mistake. So for someone to say to never buy points doesn't know what they're talking about and for someone to just move points randomly with no purpose other than to pay more juice also is making a mistake.Comment -
Another winner, and thats weird buying the points didn't help.Comment -
lol i dont see why you're so against buying points man. You know you don't pay anything if you win right? Sure you didn't need them in this game, and to be honest I think buying points have more value in football, two weeks ago i had the bears -2.5 instead of -3 against the saints and they won by 3 in overtime so i won instead of pushing. And yesterday i bought the bears -4 down to -3, and they won in overtime by 3, so i pushed instead of lost. To each his own i guess, but id rather have them and not need them, instead of needing them and not having them. I also don't think either way is RIGHT just personal preference. Eitherway happy holidays everybodyComment -
If you win, but as you know even the best capper only hits at most 60% in long run, which means 40% are losers. Now out of those losers look at how many of them are by a half point, its not as many as you think.Comment
