Round 2 home playoff teams 19-4

Interesting statistic.

Anyone have a source for previous odds of each specific game? I haven't been exactly following the numbers for each series. I figure most of the heavily favored teams had some serious juice for their home games but Detroit for instance were still dogs at home and I assume their wins may have made up for the Chicago home loss (which I assume is the only one that wasn't lost at + money).

I wonder how many units one would be up betting all home teams each game

In the second round you would have done really well mostly because of the SJ/LA series. Each game was around -130 for the home team, which went 7-0.

DET/CHI benefits from DET being a dog in each game and winning 2/3 at home. The one big loss there was the 1 loss at home for Chi which was around -180.

Pit/Ott 4/5 home wins, but the one loss was an Ott dog, so not big deal there.

I didn't follow the Bos/NY lines very well, but it's just one Loss for NYR at home. I'm sure 4/5 would have been plenty good enough.

Summary: Only 1 favorite didn't cover at home (Chicago), so yes: you would have made plenty of $$. I made a killing off of the Sharks series where I went 6-1 (small bet on SJ to win game 7)

Nice response! Obviously it's easy to dwell on what WOULD have been if we did put money down but maybe the trend will continue in the next 2 series. I fully expect home ice to play a major advantage for all 4 teams and with the even matching the odds should be in our favor
