Why didn't you say this after the first quarter? When the Rockets were winning?

I liked the Rockets tonight, but passed with those players you mentioned above were listed as OUT.

This is the frsit year they have had Artest, and they have won over 60% historically with McGrady out and Ming in.

Mings been injured last year hell he almost skipped the Olympics in his home country. Who do they have now besides Mac and Artest, Scola, Wafer I mean wtf guys you want to take those shitboxes and an injured star who missed almost all last season against a starting lineup of a decent team AT HOME???

Fukin play online blackjack or roulette boys you got a better chance than makin those bets at -110

I just took them 1st quarter and won because lack of depth and the 1st quarter naturally favors the road team but Yao has looked good in game action I have seen recently.

onlooker · 01-23-09, 08:31 PM

Maybe say this before they are blowing them out.

Like before tip-off.

Congrats man if u took em for just the 1st qtr thats the only thing their coverin tonight, just find it impossible that the Rockets was deemed worthy of a pick by every fukin poster on this site, I mean AT BEST and I mean AT THE ABSOLUTE VERY BEST this was a no play

I took Indy only because those two were out.

Hard to take a team with 2 big players out. I stayed away from this game and the Hornet game for that reason.

Would've said the same thing pregame, the same thing at end of 1st same thing at end of half and will say the same thing at end of game even if Houston comes back (their only down 8 not exactly blowin em out) and wins, this was AT THE VERY POSSIBLE BEST a no play and compared to the rest of the games tonight this was the easiest bet of the night on the Pacers imo

Same here Panic. I liked both the Rockets and Hornets, but with those players OUT, just couldn't pull the trigger.

But I will take a shot with the Clippers ML tonight.

It just don't look good to come in and call people idiots after the Pacers have built a big lead. When something could of been said when it was 0-0.

Thats what Im sayin hell just like a chick they argue even when they agree with what you're sayin, u recognize this wasnt a +EV bet, its fukin obvious this shouldnt have been a pick by every poster thats all Im sayin, its not about whether it wins or loses its about Scola and Wafer versus a starting lineup of a decent team at home and giving a point and calling it a solid pick, but I didnt even bet the game b/c I didnt realize they had those two starters out until after the game started, had I known that I would've definitely put some money on the Pacers

Panic · 01-23-09, 08:46 PM

Still a long way to go for the Rocket backers. Only 11 point game in the 3rd.

bettilimbroke999 · 01-23-09, 08:53 PM

7 pt game through 3 qtrs, I hope the Rockets comeback and win since it seems like every1 is betting them for some unknown reason but no way this bet over time gets the bookies cash in ur pocket

onlooker · 01-23-09, 09:06 PM

Now Yao is hurt, with a sore right knee. He is out of the game.

bettilimbroke999 · 01-23-09, 09:24 PM

Yao getting hurt eliminated all hope but Houston gave a better show of it than I thought, had he not been injured as well who knows what might've happened, still stick with my original opinion that Houston was never pick worthy here
