    No I don't know what money line is but I do know that you are upset because you get big because Houston was favored by 7.

    i would have never get big on Houston looking at how they lost game 5 and knowing GS still had way more talent.

    oh so 3 pts is the difference to you ok. for someone who questions another person about odds/betting lines, you sure do flip back and forth thinking its just so easy.

    especially when you just admitted you have no idea what a money line is

    the clippers gave GS 15 points and they didn't even need those pts. WOW

    So 3 points does not make much of a difference?

    Yes I would question a person getting big money on GS receiving 7 points to be fair the poster did not and yes it easy easy to not take that in my mind.

    What does me not knowing what a money line is, has to do with knowing giving GS 7 points is a sucker bet.I

    So which is it Houston was favored by 7 or 4?

    I don't gamble period.

    Yet I do know there is difference between a underdog getting 15 points and a 2 time repeat champs getting 7 points after just winning 2 nights before with said player out.

    I would never bet a 15 point spread but at least GS covered twice.

    No team won a game by 7 points the entire Houston series how is giving GS 7 points a good bet.

    Cap guru?

    What does that have to with anything?

    Exactly. How many titles does this fool have without the greatest player of all time playing with him?

    I was obviously wrong. When the line didn’t move that meant that close to 50% of the gambling public thought that the Rockets would not just win but also 7 points. I was actually waiting thinking the line would drop. GS was the better bet at +7 but it came down to me betting with GS or just taking the Rockets to win via money line. 7 points is largest spread I’ve seen against the Warriors since they began this championship run.

    It’s extremely rare to see GS as an underdog much less a 7 point underdog which is huge. If there was ever a time to bet against them with a money line bet, it was that game. It’s gambling so sh*t happens.

    If I’m a sucker for betting with the home team in an series that had been evenly played, and one team loses a top 2 player in the world then so be it.

    You did not bet the 7 on GS so no I don't think I you are a sucker.

    Not knocking you for betting I just don't think ever betting big on your favorite team is a smart move.
