Puck Prayers

[Optional]

I don't know much about hockey. It's just one of the sports I'd like to know enough to be able to bet for profit during motorsport off-season each year. A great guy off the forum named Dew22 got me hooked a couple of years back. He used to fill me in on injuries and goalies and share his extensive capping results. Still made my own bets, although should have tailed of course.

Anyway he is gone now so I'm just going from the tips and advice he gave plus a crystal ball. So this thread is not tips to tail. Just a record for me to keep me honest with myself and disciplined hopefully.

Only going to allocate $200 for the season BR, and risk $20 per day to start with.

If I can turn that $200 into $600 toward my Motorsport bankroll before the Daytona 500 I'll be a happy chappy. And if I lose it, cest la vie.

I forgot to back it, but my pre season Stanley Cup match-up was Devils v Blackhawks. Last year the only future I took was Devils v Kings. ;-)

Wish me luck.

Shouldn't you be 2-1 with the MIN loss? Then 2-2 with the EDM loss? Or you just tracking parlays?

Shouldn't you be 2-1 with the MIN loss? Then 2-2 with the EDM loss? Or you just tracking parlays?

I'm just counting if it's a winning day or not, as I'm just betting $20/day.

You do know that doesn't make any sense, right? The positive units imply if you're winning overall.

I get what you are saying. As I don't do this with my tennis thread. But what doesn't make sense about just wanting to bet $20/day and keep a record of winning days?

If I was trying to just do a best bet of the day thread I'd use units and keep a regular record. But I often like to split the 20 over a best bet plus a longshot, and all I care about is the net result, more than $20 return or not.

shit son. How are you making this look so easy?! Good work!

[Optional]

Ha. Let's meet at the end of 2 weeks and see if you still think that. ;-)

[Kpn]

Taking Colorado with 2 key injuries including their superstar 20yr old Captain, vs Vancouver at home mad about a shootout loss to LA?
On the other hand I'm going heavy on Chicago vs Wild, the wild barely eked out a win against the 'Jackets at home in the first of this back-to-back.

I may have made that decision a bit quickly now I'm looking at it more closely to give you a good answer for that.

Thanks for the advice.

NAS @ LAK Neither Team Scores 3 in reg +230 $10.00

Bruins disappoint, but I was tossing up between them, Rangers and Flames for 2nd leg, so was without a hope whatever I chose anyway.

Dayum I hope these Kings continue to play this way at home all year. Can't crack their D, but they can't score either.

+$13.00 for the day.

Week 1: 5-2 +$90.19

Happy with that! So think I'll bump it up to $30 per day this week.



Here's my leans for today if anyone feels like bumping me in the right direction... 'think' I like Hawks over Nucks best, but I'm starting to wonder if I have an unconscious fade bias against Vancouver. Feel like I have leaned against them every game so far.

St. Louis Blues* -105 vs Detroit Red Wings
Tampa Bay Lightning* -170 vs Winnipeg Jets
Minnesota Wild* +110 vs Anaheim Ducks
Chicago Blackhawks* +100 vs Vancouver Canucks

Winnipeg Jets/Tampa Bay Lightning* Over 6 -105
or
TB to Score 3 First (in reg) -150

[Vegas39]

Was thinking Chicago too and now not sure.

still undecided on tonight though

Yeah, I'm not in love with anything tonight either.

Do you know anything about goalies or injuries that might account for the Total of 5 being hung on this one?

Thinking about putting my $30 on the Over 5 -135 unless you tell me someones #1 attacker is injured

No I assumed it would be 5.5 to be honest

Chicago may be only play tonight

[Optional]

Oh bugger it.

I just took 10 x $2.50 2 leg parlays of the 5 main leans. And $5 on a 5 legger with them all.

Probably a waste.

[Optional]

Stupid betting tonight.

-$23.18

That Coyotes/Stars over looked too easy. Still don't understand why line was 5 when it looked like a possible 6 to me. I'll trust myself a bit more next time.

[Optional]

and it's 5 again tomorrow

2/2/2013 8:05 PM NHL Hockey 15 Dallas Stars/Phoenix Coyotes* Over 5 -135
