The Gambling Goosecast's Guide to this Weekend's Bets.

Hello everyone, the weekend is here and it is my pleasure to give you the sharpest bets. With the second round of the NBA playoffs still going on and UFC 237, my blood is simmering with the infectious "hobby" they call gambling. Now let's get to the meat of the article.

Friday: Golden State Warriors @ Houston Rockets

This game should be interesting. Durant suffered an injury to his right calf in game 5 after hitting a jump shot with 2 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. The Warriors still ended up winning the game 104-99. This is a home game for the Rockets and they're looking to extend the series to a game 7. 

Can this series just end already? It starting to look like a couple of teenagers playing NBA 2k, that haven't fully grasped the game controls yet, so all they how to do is toss up a bunch of 3's. James Harden has took the title of the worst over-acting away from Nicolas Cage in Face Off.

Draymond Green is constantly mouth breathing and getting into fights with Chris Paul, whos face has a constant look of painful constipation. Needless to say.... I cannot wait for this series to be over.

That being said, it will most likely go 7 games. Houston is favored by 7 in this one. Rightfully so because of the Durant injury. The rockets are the pick. Put it in the books!  

Houston Rockets -7

Saturday: UFC 237 

UFC 237 is headlined by Strawweight Champ Rose Namajunas going against top Brazilian contender Jessica Andrade. 

Rose Namajunas became champ after upsetting arguably they greatest Strawweight Champ of all time Joanna Jedrzejczyk. She then beat Joanna once again in the rematch and proved that the first fight was no fluke.

Rose is going up against Jessica Andrade. A hyper aggressive female version of the Ax Murderer Wanderlie Silva. She is terrifying! She comes at you with a barrage of power punches that most fighters can't handle. One fighter who I think will handle it fine though is Rose Namajunas. She will use her height advantage and more technical striking to coast to a Unaminous Decision. Put it in the books!

Rose Namajunas +110

Sunday: Philadelphia 76ers @ Toronto Raptors 

This will be game 7 of the series. The winner will be the sacrificial lamb to the Milwaukee Bucks. Kawhi Leonard has been playing outstanding this series while Embiid has had some troubles. Apparently he's been sick and had some bathroom troubles. As a person that suffers from Ulcerative Colitis I've had my fair share of shitty days. I've heard Embiid has an absolutely terrible diet. Well, here's a tip Joel. Instead of eating candy all the time, try these Chicken Broth Honey Gummies.  

That should solve your digestive problems and they're are quite delicious! Just kidding, they're terrible, but as a professional athlete you should grow the fuck up! Stop eating fast food on the daily and eat a vegetable once in a while.

Now to the pick.... The 76ers are way to inconsistent to pick them. Kahwi is a robot that is very good at basketball. He may not be able to hold a basic conversation with someone, but man can he play. Ben Simmons looks like a lost puppy out there and hates to shoot the ball. Jimmy Butler is a head case and always will be. Toronto is favored by 7 and I think they easily cover. Put it in the books! 

Toronto Raptors -7
