Vegas lines: Utah at 40.5

Maybe I should make a trip to Nevada and place a bet.

So colton, what is the LDS Church's official stance on earnings won from sports wagering.

First, perhaps you should ask what is the LDS Church's official stance on wagering, period, before you ask what the stance is on earnings from wagering. See here for that:

Does one have to pay tithing on the winnings? Does paying tithing excuse the "sin" or am I permanently damned if I place a bet?

Tithing's always a personal decision. I have heard, though, that church leaders aren't supposed to accept tithing on gambling winnings. Don't know if that's policy or just someone's opinion, though. Besides, how would they know? It's not like you turn in pay stubs when you pay tithing.
 
I was just messing with you, colton. I know what the church's policy is. As tempting as it may be, I'm not going to give in. Knowing my luck, putting down $500 or $1,000 on Utah would immediately mean a death sentence (or at least a season-ending injury) to Hayward, Gobert or Favors. So for the greater good of the team - and to protect fishonjazz' money, I won't make a wager.

It would be a pretty big change for you to leave the security of your mother's bedroom, steal her car and go on a road trip. But yea, good idea, come down to vegas and put a bet on for the jazz. I'm sure your mother would be ok with that.

My mom is dead. Thanks for the insensitivity.
 
40-45. No pg will hurt us a bit. The fact Burke doesn't play any D hurts worse.

The Jazz have no point guard? Yeah, that's gonna be weird... Only having four players on the floor at a time, I guess I'd take the under.
