I flew to Vegas yesterday.  I have taken every cent out of my savings account except for enough for airfare home.  I put it all on the Under 219.5 in the Rockets/Warriors game, so you can pretty much count on the game going way over.  Maybe this is what I need to end this cycle of addiction.  /if it loses, I'm pretty sure I;m losing my family.  Heck, I might even lose my job.  Who the hell knows....

For the same reason I didn't stop before placing each of the last 10,000 bets.  Just can't.

Everyone always talks about GS's scoring prowess, while overlooking their defense. Hoping that they can keep Houston to 100.

I really hope you have come to conclusions far more compelling than that when your family life potentially hinges on one bet.

By the way, Golden State's defense is well recognized around the league...and I can assure you it's in the OU total.

Well, I hope you win but I'd hate to have that much riding on an under when these 2 get together. Remember a reg season gm when I had the over 217 to complete a 7tm parlay...didn't look too good at half then they combined for about 75 in the 3rd & 135 in the 2nd half.

GL though...hope you hit it

Couldn't be that bad if you have done it 10k times before.  Nothing new to you.  

You are a seasoned investor.  Can't say the same for everyone else on here.

The under in a game where both teams like to shoot the 3 ball is not a wise choice to go all in on . you might win but the chances both teams come out cold are slim. Hence the high total.
