What do you think about
Carolina -1.5 +230? Seems like teams tend to score kinda high against Buffalo.

DanRank · 02-25-14, 08:14 AM

Run for playoff spot begins tonight! Carolina need these 2 points.

The only reason I stayed away from this is because of the Olympic break. Teams may be a little sluggish this week. Carolina has questions about if two of their better dmen are going to be playing, Joni Pitkanen and John Michael Liles. Neither has their starting goalie been named. However given how terrible Buffalo is, and their injuries right now, hard not to take them to lose every time.

But again, Olympic break, upsets will be more likely, but teams have been practicing.

You could always take the 3 way money line on Carolina for 2.30, win in regulation.

Edit line moved down to 2.25

Bettahs · 02-25-14, 10:39 AM

Really liking the Portland Trailblazers at -2.5, anyone else? Took it at 1.5 units

Moldavia1 · 02-25-14, 12:19 PM

they cannot lose these games

Bettahs · 02-25-14, 09:37 PM

Damnit Carolina!
NHL 0-1-0 -2U

AHL 2-0-0 +2U
Been doing great in AHL this season (before I've started recording here)

Also been on a great roll in NBA, lots of live in play bets though, split second to grab the right bets.

genks · 02-25-14, 10:28 PM

Dang!

Maybe tomorrow Boston will hit that spread against Buffalo.

Also Detroit will be missing Zetterberg and Price is hot

Tips for tomorrow, Rask is not starting, Miller is not starting, Price is not starting, Varlamov is not starting, Luongo is not starting. Quick, Howard and Halak aren't confirmed just yet to either play or not play.

Canucks also riding a 7 game losing streak, half the team is injured, Henrik Sedin could be back, but Ryan Kesler could miss the game, had an MRI today I believe.

Still going to take
Bruins ML
St.Louis ML

Rest I'll see about later.

genks · 02-26-14, 02:23 AM

If Enroth was in today instead of Miller, would've been a different game lol. I'm interested in seeing what the puck line will be for Boston.

I grabbed that puck line against Vancouver earlier this month. I wonder if it'll hit again. Seems like the Olympics messed things around a bit as far as starters

Bettahs · 02-26-14, 01:44 PM

Today I'm taking

(Take 3 way or 2 way, whatever you like, or maybe even split half your bet as I sometimes do.)

NHL 0-1-0
St.Louis ML
Bruins ML
St.Louis -1.5

AHL 2-0-0
Texas Stars ML
Grand Rapids Griffins ML
Norfolk Admirals ML

Will probably play in game on the other games.

Tailing on that St Louis -1.5 and agree with Boston. Thinking of trying Boston -1.5 as well. Good luck!

Linngari · 02-26-14, 02:19 PM

I'm just worried that -240 for the Bruins first game back and on the road is way too risky...

Hard not to take that since Luongo is not starting, Bieksa, Tanev Kesler, Santorelli, Weber, Alberts all not expected to start from what I know.

Henrik and Burrows questionable. On top of that 7 game losing streak.

Buffalo back to back games, got owned by Carolina in shots, only reason they won is because of Ryan Miller, who is not starting today. Tukka Rask is not starting either.

Go with what you are comfortable with! Don't take it unless you feel they can do it.

Bettahs · 02-26-14, 07:32 PM

Last minute pick
MTL ML

genks · 02-26-14, 10:34 PM

That was brutal. I was so comfortable with that Boston play. I thing Buffalo got hotter tonight rather than tired lol! oh well, on to the next.

Cmon Blues!!!

Bettahs · 02-26-14, 10:54 PM

Olympic break has really screwed things up

NHL update: 0-5-0

AHL update: 4-1-0

St.Louis loses? Man, nothing but upset!!!

genks · 02-27-14, 01:25 AM

Rough night

Yeah:/ Thoughts on tomorrow? Hopefully isnt full of upsets like today. Early thoughts for me are...

LA win vs Calgary (Calgary is playing a goalie who has never played in the NHL yet, great record in the AHL)
Chicago win vs New York (No Lundqvist)
Toronto win vs NYI? - Tavares is done

Maybe even Pens, SJ, Dallas, Tampa, but goalies to be announced so we will see.

genks · 02-27-14, 03:20 AM

Is it me or is no one playing any fuckin defense? Buffalo seriously scores 8 in their last two games???? Kings score 6??? Today had one game go 9 and one game go 10. What to do, with the salami tomorrow

genks · 02-27-14, 03:35 AM

If the Kings offense play tomorrow the way their offense played today, if jump on them but you never know. Kings scoring 6 isn't exactly the norm.

genks · 02-27-14, 02:36 PM

kings also probably have Quick back in

Eman69 · 02-27-14, 02:59 PM

Kings, Leafs, Philly are my leans so far

Bettahs · 02-27-14, 04:22 PM

Quick is confirmed to start.

Thinking about taking Dallas Stars, Cam Ward will not start.

Whats your reasoning on Philly though? Leafs and Kings I agree with.

Todays picks so far:
NHL 0-5-0

LA Kings ML
Pens ML
Blackhawks ML
Leafs ML
Sharks ML

(May take Tampa, Dallas, Columbus pre game)

AHL 4-1-0
Rochester Americans ML

Eman69 · 02-27-14, 05:59 PM

I like Philly because they have turned it around at home and SJ has the backup in

genks · 02-27-14, 06:57 PM

Got Leafs and Pens.

Good luck everyone!! Let's hope this post Olympic craziness stops lol

genks · 02-27-14, 10:12 PM

i think the grand salami may hit 70 or 80 today.

Bettahs · 02-27-14, 10:35 PM

Absolutely brutal, most betters are getting killed right now. My record is laughable, maybe I should quit hahaha.

genks · 02-28-14, 12:56 AM

All these back up goalies are killing me. Quick back in and shuts Calgary out.

Best of luck to you bettahs, I'm taking a break from NHL at least till next week. Once all the starting goalies are back and everyone shakes off the rust, hopefully things will be more predictable. I'm going to crawl back to mma where I came from lol

Bettahs · 02-28-14, 05:12 AM

NHL 2-8-0

AHL 5-1-0

May stay a bit away for tomorrow, but thinking about only making a play on San Jose tomorrow... Surely they can beat the red hot smoking Stanley Cup contending Buffalo Sabres!

Bunch of good weekend games in the NHL.

genks · 02-28-14, 12:14 PM

I think Miller starting tonight.

I think there was a hat trick for the Sharks last night?

Bettahs · 02-28-14, 07:11 PM

Taking San Jose!!! Ott and Miller traded! ML!
Stewart and Halak the other way, taking Ducks!

may take Avs

genks · 02-28-14, 11:11 PM

Buffalo making a run for the cup lol

Bettahs · 03-01-14, 05:49 AM

Wish Id just take a break like you genks, just cant help it! Luckily NBA and NCAAB has kept me at break even, and most nights in the positive! So I'm able to keep going with hockey. Hopefully turns around now.

Also thing is, you only need to hit about 40% in hockey, ML is over 2 in most games (3 way) so it'll help take care of the losses. Rest is profit.

NHL 3-8-0
Boston ML
Los Angeles ML

Been hitting my maybe picks (90% of the time I take them) better than the ones I post hah, ofcourse cant put those in my record as that would be cheating
