Inspired by the last 2 weeks of threads touting Free Money if you bet against the Texans (1-1 ATS last 2 weeks), here is a line to look out for: Rockets -7. Rockets giving points to anyone right now is ridiculous! Rockets are 2-6 ATS at home and just 8-8 overall. Granted the Celtics are 1-4 ATS on the road, but the Rockets dont deserve to be but MAYBE a 3 or 4 point favorite. Away team has covered 5 of last 6 in this series. Celtics have been playing better and Pierce always plays well against us. I would never bet against the Rockets, but I am sure others on here would. Take the points, dont be surprised if Rocks lose straight up.
Rockets will win but you can do a 3-team teaser to make Celtics + 15. That's a sure bet, but I hope Rockets prove me wrong.
I hope that these threads get fewer and fewer. It's not cool to turn this bbs into a freakin' handicapping forum.
It certainly isn't "free money". Unlike the Texans, we are very capable of defeating most teams in the NBA. We're going to go at Boston with T-Mac and Yao in the lineup... possibly with a healthy Barry. We're playing at home, and we're hard-up for some wins. Betting against the Rockets will be a huge mistake.
Reason for the spread is simple.....Boston won their first away game the other night and have not won consecutive games....This line is a trick, and is working well becasue everyone will bet on boston, and the rockets will cover.....so i hope....
Here is a sports betting maxim: Whenever it seems like Christmas, its really Halloween. The Rockets will easily cover tonight.
