    I am just wondering.. who bets on basketball in here?
    I have been betting on boxing for a while, but lately I started to bet on basketball too.

    And I have just done one of the ... weirdest things. I am a rockets fan, but I was betting on Magics to beat the rockets, becuz as I was analyzing the game, I just felt they would win...and they did!

    During the game, I was like cheering for both team, but at the end of the day, I have to admit I was glad Magics has won. :p

    So.. anyone else bet on basketball? And has anyone else actually bet against his favorite team like me??

    You know, betting against the rox is a great thing. If they win, it feels great. and if they lose, you win!

    I bet on basketball as well. I usually try to make a policy not to bet on the Rockets as they are very inconsistent and I am somewhat biased; however, when the Rockets are a 8 or 10 points favorite you have to bet the other side. There's just no way we can win by that much usually since we can't finish any games strong.

    Don't bet on basketball. Many pro bettors, I know say alot of games are fixed.
    I used to be a pro bettor. I only bet on baseball though.

    I started betting at the second half of the season when the Rox were hot as hell and bet into the playoffs. I only bet on the Rox and bet very conservatively. Slowly, I made like 250 bucks and I bet on a couple other college games and Finals game 7 and made like 500. I think I'm just gonna get out while I'm on top :D .
