    Tough indeed, but that's why they call it gambling. You win some, you lose some.

    Right now the Rockets are in a very unpredictable stage, I think the best way to handle it is to stay away from their games for a while.

    There are some many rookies in this team and they are so young, and they have the ability to play both ways in offense and defense and this is very scary for betting.

    Some games they could beat anyone in the league and some night they can lose to the Lakers and struggle to beat the 76ers.

    So my advice is just to stay away as of now.

    Especially next game against the Twolves, a team just lost to the 76ers and they are also extremely young, a very bad spot for any type of betting.

    Alright, I will eat my words and actually betting on the Rockets again tonight.

    In fact, to make it worse, I am going for another Harden prop bet tonight.

    Harden FT over 8.5

    According to Craig, the Suns is the team gave out most FT this year, and for the Rockets to win this game, I think Harden has to go to the line at least 15-20 times tonight.

    8.5 is a very decent number and I can't pass it up.

    Unless this will be another Rockets blowout and Harden will sit the whole 4Q, otherwise I think my chance is good.

    Rockets/Suns biggest lead o15. Winner. I'm going to keep making this biggest lead bet until it hits a cold streak.

    And sorry about the Harden loss. The refs missed some calls tonight.

    I am starting to look at the Lakers game under really hard for the next few games.

    They are in a mess now, once they pushed Ronnie Price to the starting PG position, their pace slow down considerably and their offense no doubt became worse since.

    Yes Lin sucks most of the time, but when he penetrate against bad teams, he can still dish out several easy buckets to Hill or Boozer, now this part will be gone mostly.

    Last game against the NOP, the game opened at 208, just midway into the second Q, the live betting had the total all the way down to 194-195, and I took it and the game still went under after that.

    Lakers UNDER and Raptors OVER are the trends of late, may worth a look.

    3-1 today. Hit all the totals while the Mavs collapsed in the second half.

    Lakers UNDER and Raptors OVER are really the trend now.

    I can't quit the props.
    Tonight I went with
    Collison over 23.5 combined points, rebounds, and assists - winner
    Parsons over 13.5 points - didn't bet it, but should have

    The hottest team with the best record in the league playing at home against a team with so many injuries and all their starters could be sitting out.

    10.5 points seems not enough.

    You can't? Honestly seems kind of low to me the way the Warriors are playing and how injured the Rockets are right now.

    As I said earlier, I am not betting on Rockets game until they will have most of their starters coming back, too much unknown factors.

    Won Wall. Lost Rondo bc he made a meaningless layup to end the game cutting the loss from an 11 point to 9 point margin, lol. FU Rondo. My +/- tonight will be determined by the Nuggets Heat game.

    Lawson had 8 dimes at halftime and I'm gonna lose this bet, smh, bc Miami sucks ass. Should have hedged bc the only way possible he didn't hit 10 was by blowout and somehow a tied halftime game is now a 30 point blowout and Lawson has been sitting for 10 minutes. Also, should have bet Warriors 2nd half. That was easy money that I didn't do just bc I'm rooting for the Rocks...that's just burning money though.
