Rockets +7,5 , Is it good pick or no ?

[CaptainOmar111]

Hi Guys , Iam new to NBA Betting !!!

My first play was yesterday on SAS ML + Heat ML and I cashed both

I wanna take today Rockets +7,5 @1.34 ( -300 )

The odds are very good for me and I like the play but Iam not sure !!!

Any opinions or inputs will be appreciated BOL EV1

[koch & balls]

wow -300? either wait in game for better odds because okc is one of the best 1st qtr teams or just bet them moneyline. I think they get it done today no points needed.

Thanks for opinion , But do not you think that Rockets will win today ? It is their last chance and they must try their best to win today !!!

[koch & balls]

I think rockets win this game. technically they could have been up 2-1 in this series. they were in it the last 2 games in the final minutes and things haven't work out for them. I think today they finally get the win.

[Sport_Fish]

Not worth it, esp. with Rockets...the most crapshoot team in the league.

They're all about running up and shooting jumpers immediately, play no D. If enough of their shots drop and they outscore you, they'll win if not, they could lose by DD. Today could be the day they win - they're bound to outscore OKC atleast 1/4 times, assuming Durant doesn't make some ridic. shots again.

So +7,5 should be safer for me and I like the odds since they are good for me as a small bettor

[k4cowboys4k]

Getting them at +7.5 does not make sense giving the odds you are laying. Houston has a very good shot of winning this game straight up at home

[dopeismarcus]

I think Rockets win tonight but if you wanna be safe ill go as far as +4

[CaptainOmar111]

Just wanna the safest bet !!! Odds are good and if you say they will win , then +7,5 is good

[CaptainOmar111]

Yeah I think so , but +7,5 @ this odds is amazing pick

I do not say they will win , but took the handicap +7,5 for them

[CaptainOmar111]

Any opinions ???

[BigDofBA]

Just take them ML. -300 is a horrible bet.

You may even have a chance to get them +7 live.

[k4cowboys4k]

We all understand that getting them at +7.5 is much safer but you are losing so much value in simply taking the money line or even the spread of +1.5

I just saw the H2H this year and found that Oklahoma did not lose by spread more than 3 points against Rockets , should I change my bet to OCK +6 ?

Hmmm , Iam new and can not understand much about NBA , I just wanna know which better ( Rockets +7,5 or OKC +6 ) ??? OKC did not lose against Rockets by more than 3 points !!!

[k4cowboys4k]

You don't want to be giving away that much juice when you bet

[CaptainOmar111]

You don't want to be giving away that much juice when you bet

My bankroll is 3 units and I do bet 1 unit per game , I made all the 3 units as profits from the small lines ( -1000 : -300 ) so I just search for the safest bet !!! So tell me the safest in ur opinion please . is it OKC +6 or Rockets +7,5 ? .. I have never seen any team of both and do not know much about NBA

[k4cowboys4k]

Well if you're set on one of those two bets then Houston +7.5 is safer in my opinion, goodluck

[rm18]

teams down 3-0 often quit though I think Houston wins

[CaptainOmar111]

Thanks But in this season Rockets did not beat OKC by more than 3 points spread , so OKC +6 should be better , right ?

[CaptainOmar111]

But Houston did not beat Oklahoma this season by spread more than 3 points so should not OKC +6 better than Houston +7,5 ?

not to be a dick but stick to tennis. you are clearly out of your league with nba. as far as okc houston, NOBODY knows what is going to happen tonight, its a stay away game if you are smart

Yeah , My experience here is %0 but Iam trying my best beside the opinions of players here , I tried my luck with Heat + SAS yesterday and did well , I loved NBA betting from the 1st second of betting , Iam always searching for safest bet !!! Still thinking in OKC +6 or Rockets +7,5 !!!

I would only consider these odds good if you were adding it to a parlay. As a single bet it makes no sense as while rockets have a good chance of winning, they can also lose by 15. It will all depend on how badly does OKC want this series ended tonight and whether Rockets manage to go "Curry" on them

I just saw the H2H this year and found that Oklahoma did not lose by spread more than 3 points against Rockets , should I change my bet to OCK +6 ?

These are playoffs... previous stats mean nothing. Almost.

Seems like that game will make me lose my money ... but honestly which better in ur opinion " OKC +6 or Rockets +7,5 " ? Take a note that Houston never passed OKC by spread more than 3 points this season !!!

Hmmm , Iam learning

If you have no idea what you're doing you're not going to make money betting huge favorites. You're a lot more likely to lose more... Why not Rockets +1? Or pick a spread you like. You're not beating the bookie like that you're just delaying the inevitable (losing big) in my opinion.

Iam making good money with huge favorites or safer bets , it is not the case !!! Could u see that Houston did not beat OKC by more than 3 points spread this season ? and all of their won games were close Iam just interested in OKC +6 or ROCKETS +7,5 .. But I will take one of them !!! Rockets +1 is very risky in my opinion and if I lose it , I will lose 1/3 of my bankroll since I have only 3 unites !!!

It is hard to say... OKC is better than Houston, that we know. Houston needs this win, we know that also. What we don't know however is the intensity with which OKC will play. Do they want to make a statement on Houstons floor, especially after the Westbrook injury? What better way to do that than beating them in front of Houston fans for the second time in a row, this time by 10+? Or maybe they don't care anymore after getting that one win in Houston already, and they know they can easily win at home, so why give it their all?

I actually think Clippers ML game 5 is more of a "sure thing" to win than either of these two inflated spreads (because unlike Houston they actually have a chance to push the series to 7, and they REALLY need to win). But that's just my opinion, please do not play it because of it.

Hmmm , I will take Rockets +7,5 or I will fade the game

Thanks for your honest opinion , Sir

[rm18]

But Houston did not beat Oklahoma this season by spread more than 3 points so should not OKC +6 better than Houston +7,5 ?

Westbrook is hurt though and this is a home game so all those road games with Westbrook playing really mean nothing to tonight

[secret007]

I know this comment is late and Rockets is actually up by 1 at the moment, but I think generally this is a bad bet.

This is an elimination game for Rockets. At the end of the game, team in elimination game will usually keep fouling and sending opponent to the free throw lines until there's no realistic chance of making a comeback. At this point, you will be sweating badly even with the extra points you buy. It's my opinion, and everyone has their own way to make money.

Since when you're into basketball?

If you took it, GL

Just take them ML. -300 is a horrible bet.

You can currently get Houston +4.5.
