    So, you want to bet the NBA?
    Look at some of these games tonight:

    Miami closed at -4.5. They win by 6, with a complete miracle.

    Dallas/New York over/under 198.5. They scored 36 points in the fourth quarter, final score: 104 94.

    Memphis -7. Houston gets within 2 with two minutes left, Memphis ends up winning by 8.

    Oklahoma City -11.5. They win by 11.

    New Orleans -7.5. They win by 8.

    Minnesota -1.5. They win by 2.

    Milwaukee/Washington over/under 192. It lands on 192.

    I'm probably missing some, but these are pretty sick. And I'm sure there will be more to come tonight.

            Only reason Wizards game pushes is because Jennings hits a guy after a flagrant and they hit all three FT's...

              NFL and NBA cannot be beaten

              Just throwing away money betting on this

              Better of going to casino and using the money to play worst table game in joint. At least you get free drinks and comps. Betting NFL and NBA, you just get ass kicking.

                            So our only hope is learning the college game thoroughly? Or betting on some obscure league?

                                They don't. Millions of dollars is bet on either side and a fair price is arrived at.

                                    Wow. that's unreal. To think it happens more then we think.. Ill tell you what though for the most part I always buy down the half point if im betting the fav.. loosing by a point that technically doesn't exist is at the top of my list of things I hate about gambling.

                                        I got lucky on MIA and got burned on BOS and HOU (both by 1 point differentials). I don't watch any of the games though. Nothing looks quite as rigged as the last quarter of an NBA game.

                                            The 4th quarter of the Jazz Nuggets doesn't look fixed. It just looks sad. Really really really sad.

                                                giant off topic but, the bad beat caused by last night in poker 88 vs 99.(your trip 8 on the flop, then I came out with the straight) I swear that was the turning point to cause me to have a amazing run and I finally win my first poker tourney. I just wanted to say thanks I owe you one. You and yisman are the KINGS of badges.

                                                  Miami closed at -4.5. They win by 6, with a complete miracle.

                                                  Dallas/New York over/under 198.5. They scored 36 points in the fourth quarter, final score: 104 94.

                                                  Memphis -7. Houston gets within 2 with two minutes left, Memphis ends up winning by 8.

                                                  Oklahoma City -11.5. They win by 11.

                                                  New Orleans -7.5. They win by 8.

                                                  Minnesota -1.5. They win by 2.

                                                  Milwaukee/Washington over/under 192. It lands on 192.

                                                  I'm probably missing some, but these are pretty sick. And I'm sure there will be more to come tonight.

                                                      Ellis gets fouled hard.. thats ok, was starting to think I might win by 0.5 for once but then tough guy Jennings comes in and shoves a Wash player who was apologizing to Ellis.
