The Rockets have won half the games this series how can the Lakers be -1250?

Dammit

I wanted to bet the Lakers ML but holy shit what the fuk crazy ass line is that?

Gotta bet 500 dollars to win 40 bucks on Game 7, I dont think the Rockets have much of a chance but then again I didnt think they'd win their last two home games either, I thought this line would be like -600 or something and might be worth a small play just bc it seems like a sure thing but at -1250 there's no fukin way, I wouldn't bet on the Lakers -1250 vs the Grizzlies

[unde0087]

because Rockets aren't going to go into L.A. and win, they will get routed just like they did the last time they were in L.A. Lakers will come out gunning and Rockets don't have the crowd behind them for this game. I honestly give the Rockets no chance in game 7.

[bettilimbroke999]

They've won 3 of the last 6 games they've played including Game 1 in LA, do you really think -1250 is a fair line? This line is so off I may have to put a small play on the Rockets even though I know they're going to lose just bc I feel they win at least 1 out of 13

Stranger things have happened. One thing for sure, Whoever wins the 1st quarter is going to win the game/series. All games in the series were determined by the 1st and all were pretty much blowouts by double digits except the one win by 8. If the Rocket's get off to a great start they have a chance.

[crisp]

lakers will be -2000 soon enough.

[bettilimbroke999]

lakers will be -2000 soon enough.

Anyone who takes Lakers -1250 doesn't understand the amount of parity in the NBA, why do you think the Lakers haven't won since Shaq left? Their only dominant player is Kobe and let's face it he's not been dominant at all in this series and has been in large part contained by Battier

If this line goes up it's bc ppl hate money and deserve to be broke

Houston will probably not win this game dont get me wrong, they SHOULD however win at least 1 out of 13, so when the Rockets play like shit and get beat by 30 don't say so much for betting the Rockets my point here is that with the quality of shooters Houston has in Artest/Brooks/Battier if they get off to a good start and are shooting as hot as they did in Games 4 and 6 in other words if they take that home game on the road for Game 7 they can certainly beat the Lakers, hell just look at 4 and 6 they weren't just wins they were fukin embarassing blowouts, the Lakers scored 1 point in the first 5 1/2 mins of Game 6 while the Rockets scored 17, this Lakers team can go ice cold especially when Kobe has an off game, think back to game 6 the Lakers came back from down like 16 in the 3rd to get within 2 pts and then the Rockets proceeded to just blow them out again

Rockets could have Yao and McInjury in the starting lineup and they'd still lose.

[jjgold]

Houston definitely worth a shot at that price

[d2bets]

Going to be a close game, ya never know.

[Chi_archie]

basically it comes down to this....

do you trust this lakers team to win this game 12 out of 13 times?

the team that has gotten their assess handed to them a few times in this series?

God Bless you if you are on the lakers moneyline

[RonPaul2008]

Even before Yao got injured the Rockets were playing better this series when Yao was on the bench.

Rockets could have Yao and McInjury in the starting lineup and they'd still lose.

[d2bets]

People taking Lakers ML because they just can't imagine Kobe losing a Game 7. Anything can happen. The odds are just wrong.

[Chi_archie]

Value is value......


either take the rockets ml for 1 unit with 3 or more on the spread or enjoy "doin work" part deux with no money on it

[RonPaul2008]

You gotta be nuts to take -1250 before the game starts.

[d2bets]

Plenty of nutty degenerates.

[Slim]

Crisper is right the line will get bigger. People will think to themselves hey they won by 40 last time they played in LA. Its a lock.

[acw]

Plenty of nutty degenerates.

Calm down, d2bets! Give the Lakers fan club at least some encouragement. I want the Rockets to drift a bit.

By the way do you agree with me that Yao Ming is probably the most overrated out there?

[darrell74]

1 unit on Lakers -12 1/2 at most

Honestly, I believe this line is way too whack, to bet it.

What I've done, in the past, is do a parlay.
i.e. Laker ML at -1400 and put it with something I like, just because its on T.V., and the game I really like, might not be on T.V., at the time.

However, I'm still passing. Way too whack of a line.

I was just considering that. You can bet "team to win first quarter wins the game -240" at the greek.

[Slim]

Only an idiot would of taken the Rockets moneyline.

[bettilimbroke999]

Lakers couldn't defend against my grandmother in game 6 and then hold Houston to 2 pts in Game 7, NBA is easy money as long as you own a time machine

[Shortstop]

Only an idiot would of taken the Rockets moneyline.

wow, that seems out of whack for a game with such a huge fav.

[bettilimbroke999]

wow, that seems out of whack for a game with such a huge fav.

I was thinking same thing, I dont play at the greek but if they are offering lines like this I may need to start, -240 on 1st qtr wins wins game, what do they do if 1st qtrs a tie just push the bet? Hell even if Rockets came out on fire and were up 10 at end of 1st you might win with Rockets, gotta say this line had tons of value if the -240 is correct
