Bettahs Hockey Picks

[ARoot55]

I'm taking the Wild plus money. Gonna wait till the last second I'm guessing it'll keep growing because of the home trend in the west you spoke of. Avs were outplayed in two of the three games in Denver only to escape with last second regulation goals, with the help of the refs in one, and then OT winners.

What do you think about SJ/LA?

[Bettahs]

I hope the kids in Colorado get it done.

Reverse sweeps only happened a few times before, if San Jose chokes and loses, the team is gone. Coaching, management and players should be shipped out. It really is now or never for San Jose and the players know it.

San Jose's been great at home all year, LA has been average on the road. Already have series bets on San Jose, so I may just let those ride, or if the lines good enough and I'm feeling great about it, may lay a little more on San Jose, or just enjoy the game with what I already have on it.

I just hit a 1$ 10 team parlay!! Can't believe I didn't put more on it lol... Been betting least 5$ for past 2 months.

Love sharks tomorrow. Haven't looked at others. Defiantly not touching wild/avalanche game.

[Bettahs]

How much was the return???

Tomorrow I like AHL Texas ML to sweep and close out the series!

[shaggydog88]

500ish I think cause the dodgers postponed/pushchair. Post it when I get home in hour too hard to type on phone

flyers -115
wizards plus 4 1/2
mets +140
marlins -130
dodgers -170 (push)
brews +135
giants -160
mariners +155
Grizzlies plus 7
oakland -105

ended up with 475$$$$ lol. awesome win but im not kidding you ive done a 5$ parlay with at least 7 teams for past 2 months and for some odd reason i felt strong about nothing today and only made the 1$ parlay my only bet.

[Bettahs]

AHL
Texas ML
Grand Rapids ML
St. Johns ML

Two bonus AHL picks (bit riskier)
Binghamton ML
Manchester ML

Took all 5 plus Flyers, Colorado, San Jose and dropped the minimum I can bet on a parlay for the hell of it, hopefully luck out like you Shaggy! Nice hit!

[Bettahs]

Just for the hell of it, and since the lines are great. I'm taking San Jose, Colorado, Philadelphia ML's. If these 3 win, I'm going to win a bunch of bets tonight, so may as well tack on a few more bets.

If San Jose loses though... Most of them flop, have San Jose in all those parlays I believe... Errr will be hard to watch!

Do like all 3 teams to win though.

[ARoot55]

I think I'm most confident in SJ out of all three. I'd advise against the other two, but I hope you're right about the Flyers. It'll be a travesty of Minnesota loses tonight.

[Bettahs]

Home team is King in the West. Going to stick with my predictions from the beginning of the playoffs, one game and winner takes all! Too late to change them now.

[ARoot55]

GL. I feel home ice is only as good as the first 8-10 minutes. Stats may suggest otherwise, but I think if the away team can weather the storm early it becomes just another high intensity playoff game. That first ten minutes is always scary for away teams though. Plus I just feel it would be unjust for the Wild to lose this, they've been the better team the whole series.

[shaggydog88]

Were on the same picks bettah!! Let's hope it works out. Didn't go hard on flyers avalanche but did on sharks. Cash cow tonight with a atletico Madrid win parlay.

First up, flyers. Let's go!!!

[shaggydog88]

I agree Root. Id say the entire first period tho. Away team going into intermission even down 1 defiantly hurts the moral.

According to my buddy being away doesn't really effect players, its being home that does... Butterfly's, want to impress more , target on your back, being the favorite . If your a team that's used to it, advantage. If your not then it can be a disadvantage in playoffs.

I think it all hinges on lundvquist.

Flyers 2-1 OT

whhhhhaaaaaaaat. where the f did the heavy avalanche come into play?

sharks up 1-0, feelin good and then just bam. slow motion see me let go.

out of 4 future bets i still have 3 teams. bye sharks, hello ducks pens and hawks. in that order for money earned. hawks would break me even for futures. fkn sharks.

[mart59a]

Liking the Marlies tonight?

I don't know what futures you mean but the Pens and Ducks are two teams I wouldn't want to have in any futures. They both looked extremely beatable and I'd be afraid to put any money on them to even win their next series. GL at least they're still playing, never know but round one did not look encouraging for either.

[ARoot55]

Brutal watching my Flyers get manhandled like that last night, but at least Minny got me a split with the choke job in SJ.

[Bettahs]

Liking the Marlies tonight?

Yep
Toronto ML
Chicago ML as well

Still cant get over Colorado

Everyone on Boston ML? I took them.


To win the series:
Chicago
Pittsburgh
Boston
LA

Doubled up those first 3 and took them to win game 1 + series as well.

cant believe sharks got dominated 5-1. jeez. killed my night.


i was on MTL +1.5 at -170 and 180 the night before... had em in a small parlay at ML. only made about 45 though.
havent liked boston sense before playoffs if you havent noticed. agree their the best in east but i just dont like betting them this season.

like penguins a lot tomorrow. and the over. dont think the rangers will be able to keep up in goals.

im bias with the Hawks the most but i honestly believe the wild can steal one here. staying away from it.

[ARoot55]

Brutal beat on Bruins ML last night. Didn't hurt as bad because I took the over as well but still basically a -1U night. I'm liking the Pens and the over tonight what do you think. I think I'm going to avoid Minny/Chi all series, considering a small play on Minny to win the series though.

[Bettahs]

Bryzgalov to start

Chicago ML
Pittsburgh ML

(Thinking about TT for both Chicago and Pittsburgh over 2.5)

AHL
St. Johns ML
Chicago ML

[Tj17usa]

On both Chicago teams money line - as a double, and I'm on big.

Should be as safe as houses - opinions?

I got both games over.

Really thought all 4 would have won tonight. Chicago AHL choked HARD, Pittsburgh was embarrassing. Had Chicago AHL won, I would have hit my 5 play AHL parlay... Whoop, always one damn team that screws my parlay each time.

After Pittsburgh went down 2, I was seriously thinking about putting my entire bank that wasn't locked into bets on Chicago and either I won, or I would have been done with all of this and I wouldn't have to deal with these frustrating games anymore! Too bad I didn't pull the trigger.

[shaggydog88]

Bruins ml now.

Man. Pens killed me yesterday. Worst loss sense I been posting. Got a tiny back on blackhawks after I read your post and bryzgolov. But damn.


Pounding bruins right now. . tiny parlay with Yankees too. Then another tiny parlay with Baltimore.


Woooops. Thought game was 1:30. Ha. Gotta roll with the small bet from last night.

[shaggydog88]

Pens pens pens pens.

Blackhawks too? That wild game was A LOT closer than 5-2.

Pirates ML. Volquez is pitching like its 09 again. Might be pirates best pitcher so far this year. Two craaazy comeback wins a row, riding high.

Athletics- sonny gray is a top 15 pitcher . mini verlander with different out pitch. anyone says differently has never watched him.

Pirates athletics pens ML and PL
Leaning Hawks also but not for a single bet. Price way too high.

[Bettahs]

I've really lost a lot of faith in Pittsburgh, may leave them alone for a bit.

Chicago is undefeated at home so far in the playoffs, Minnesota is not a good road team, has not been the whole year. Will be taking them tonight.

Also Chicago TT over 2.5

Wil check out your baseball picks and see if the lines are juicy enough to reel me in! Thanks!

Hmmm cant seem to find the Oakland game on my book anywhere, and since then the Pirates line has dropped so much in a few minutes while looking for Oakland, games about to start.

[shaggydog88]

Good thing you didn't take pirates lol. Volquez did pitch well, just that one swing of the bat by Rasmus brought in 4 freaking runs. Hopefully Athletics hold on so my parlay with hawks under n pens hold up.

FML didn't even get to go in large on these because I totally forgot it started so damn early. Oh well, just my luck as usual!

Whatcha feel tomorrow Shaggy? Rangers get it done at home? Or Pens go up by 1.

Ducks go down 2 at home? Or tie it up. Tough night I think.

[ARoot55]

Staying hot Bettah, impressive. Nice work. I'm going to double up on the Ducks tonight, Saturday was rough. Had the under and Ducks, push with 7 seconds left, loss in OT.

I like Pens again tonight, I don't see NYR generating much offense with as many games as they've played lately.

Pens ML -110
Ducks ML -140

What do you thinking?

[Bettahs]

Not really a huge fan of either game tonight, but if I do take anything, it will be Penguins ML just before puck drop. Values decent so I may play it.

Parlay value in Pittsburgh +1.5 and LA +1.5

[shaggydog88]

Slam the Pens bettah!!!!

[shaggydog88]

Crosby will get his first goal tonight. Pens win by 2.

I'm leaning ducks also but I think I'm a Lil bias there cause my future bets.

Pens ML and dodgers ML parlay

Pens ML and - 1 1/2 with ducks.
