The Houston Rockets will win an NBA championship in the next 5 years

Spurs 34.5 Under is basically free money. There's no way in hell they get 35 wins.

 

The only way to make money on gambling is taking advantage of silly opening odds like this, as well as making bets based on knowledge the odds haven't reflected yet (injuries and the like).

Then you win and your account gets shut down for being a problem customer.

 

I don't know how gambling stuff works in the USA, but I've had no problem whatsoever with withdrawing my earnings in Turkey for more than 10 years, and the gambling is not even legal here.

 

In the US they just refuse to take your bets, or limit your max bet. You can always withdraw your earnings no problem. But if you are very successful your account gets flagged, and they will either limit your bet sizes to something very low (I've seen screenshots of people who aren't allowed to bet more than $10), or they will just stop you from betting entirely. This has been a problem in the US for a long time, even before online betting, "professional" gamblers have to hire people to go place bets for them because the casinos won't take their bets.

 

Well, yeah. That's kind of the default in gambling business, but I'm wondering, why don't you just move on to the next gambling site? Are there only few of them or what's the deal exactly?

 

I don't really know how to answer this because I am not a successful gambler so I have not had this problem lol. I've just seen a lot of people complain about it online. I imagine if you're good enough you would pretty quickly get limited on all of them. It's not a common problem for average Joes, though, they're not going to do anything to your account if you're just winning a couple hundred bucks here and there. I think it only becomes a problem for guys who are making a living off gambling.

 

Gambling sites share info between each other, if they can get a hold of identifying information, ie: a bank account, they'll band together to ensure you cannot continue playing with another bookmaker.

 

I hope one or more of our max extension candidates gives us a Jalen Brunson-esque team-friendly deal, going to be difficult-to-impossible to carry three max contracts.

 

The betting odds for winning a championship this year are +12500. I am not a gambler but I think that means you get $12,500 for a minimum bet which I think is $100. Any takers?

 

I don't think there is any sports betting in Texas but I live about ~30 miles from the Louisiana border. There are a few casinos in Lake Charles and Delta Downs Race Track / Casino is even closer. It is tempting to go bet on the team but I doubt I do it although I do get the same types of vibes from this team that I did from the Dallas Cowboys in the off season prior to they won the first of three Superbowls.
