$400 1/2 - Heat (-3) over Hawks - Can't bet against myself. Plus I'm coming off of a long road trip and will be looking to turn around this losing streak I'm on.

$400 1/7 - Bucks (-8) over Hornets - Bucks are so loaded right now since the trade to acquire Jackson. Their only weakness (when Artest is slotted at SG) is at center, which isn't exactly an offensive strength for the Hornets.

$200 - 6> - 3/1 - I can see the Heat winning 5 and the suns going winless. Because they're a bunch of assholes.

Who wins more games this sim - Hawks or Rockets?
$50 (bonus bet) - If I can bet it, I want to say push with 2 wins each.

The simcasino accepts your bet.

Busy week at work for me this week; if someone else from the Central can cover I'd appreciate it.

$300 1/3 - Sonics to cover at home against the Magic (-3) - - Seattle is playing better while overall while the Magic are laying in a wasteland with no hopes to recover

$200 - 1/4 - Warriors over Suns at home (-3) - Warriors are playing well at home this season and should take care of the Suns who are off to a slow start.

$300 - The Rockets will win more games than the Hawks - Just being confident

$200 - The Rockets will cover the -12 at the Mavs on 1/6 - Being really confident. Lost a close game at Dallas during the last sim.

NickMalone agreed to cover. Thanks Nick!

1/4 - Suns (-3) @ GSW - Whatever it is, Ben gets the most out of his players. The Suns struggles this season are insane considering what they were able to do last season. Also like the home team in this. $100

1/7 - Hornets @ Bucks (-8) - If this was in New Orleans, I'd take me but I think the Bucks strength takes me down in Milwaukee. Artest is a different player at home than when he is on the Road. $200

1/10 - Bulls @ Hornets (-4) - Beat the Bulls twice already in Chicago, the Bulls may be hot right now but they are a team that makes more sense on paper than in Sim. Almost insulting having a line that small being at home. $500

1/11 - Bosh points or Kidd points+rebounds+assists? If you add up the averages, Bosh averages 31PPG to Kidd's averaged of 28-29 for all three. I like Bosh's a bit more here. $200

1/2 Hawks (+3) Little Messi is on a 3 game losing streak, and I see that continuing against this Hawks. $300
1/4 Suns (-3)- Why? No good reason. Really just a toss up game. $250
1/6 Rockets (+13)- Not a big margin of victory in their last meeting for the Mavericks. Mavs being at home can seem a little daunting, but I just feel like the Rockets will pull through. $250

Suns/Heat combined wins- Give me $200 with the shocker of 3:1 money with us getting 9 or more wins.
