    Holding steady at GSW -10... is this another Vegas trap begging people to bet Houston?

    - 2 close games at Oracle
    - Game 4 result
    - Curry 'injury'

    You'd think they'd at least move it to -9 or -9.5 to not give the double digit line, which looks even more enticing... and +400 moneyline? dafuq?

    Yeah I'm pretty dumbfounded how the line could be at +10 for Houston, especially since 59% of the bets are on Houston right now (according to oddsshark).

    Vegas must REALLY think GS is going to win this one, and a blowout at that. I would have expected the line to be closer to 7.5 or 8...

    that probably just means 82% of the money believe its gonna be a close game, not necessarily a hou win.

    That line seems to be setting the majority of the betting public up to get massacred by putting their money on Houston. No place in Vegas even has it at +10. It's mostly +10.5 with a couple of +11s out there. This is similar to what happened with people betting on Atlanta yesterday given how close game 3 had been. Vegas is also expecting Houston to be blown out here. I wouldn't touch the Rockets at all.

    I don't bet. What's a money line bet? Is a -10 points in favor of the Rockets or GSW?

    Rockets + 10 (-115)
    Moneyline is +425 same as Game 1

    Best play is
    $115 to win $100 +10 Rockets
    $100 to win $425 even Rockets win

    If you bet $110 and Golden State win by more than 10 points, you will win $100.

    But if they win by less than 10 points or loss, you lose.

    I hate to say but I see Houston only having a 40% chance of winning, the main thing is they let the Warriors at home get away with a lot of moving screen for Curry.'

    The Rockets have to play smart limited the turn overs and dumb fouls that is the only way.

    EVERY game has been the opposite of expected!

    Game 1: Warriors heavily favored to blowout Rockets... close game coming down to final minute.

    Game 2: Warriors again heavily favored to win by double-digits, win by 1 point with Rockets having final possesion.

    Game 3: Rockets favored, Houston gets blown out.

    Game 4: Warriors expected to sweep, Rockets win handily.

    Game 5: Warriors again heavily favored?

    Lets bring it H-TOWN!!!!
