* AnAesop: If the title didn't clue you in, yes, gambling isn't very good. Every character who gambles in this episode has it blow up in their face.



* YankTheDogsChain: Chris' bet is right and Phoenix wins the game. However, Rochelle forced him to reveal his identity to Doc, who told everyone to pull their bets over to the Lakers. This means that everyone who was counting on "Chrissy the Black", including Julius and Vanessa, didn't get any money.
