Made a tiny profit tonight...kicking myself for playing that Buffalo Under...just never felt comfortable about that...pondered it quite a bit...also was going to play Calgary Under but had too many plays.
Now 10-1 in 1st period Unders as I suffered my 1st loss in Carolina game.
Tomorrow here are my leans
LAK TT (U 2.5)...Kings have been good to me, but just don't see them getting 3 or more vs a more rested Rangers team...the Under 5 might be a good play too, but I like Rangers to win.
Blues TT (U 2.5)...at the very least Fleury is doing well...Blues in a scoring drought. Jake Allen alternates good and bad starts, so the game Under doesn't appeal to me.
Isles ML...they get back to winning at home and Wild on a b2b.
Montreal - Nashville (U 5)...similar feel to Kings - Devs tonight...might end up 3-1 or 2-1.
Other possible plays:
Ducks - Jackets (U 5.5)
Panthers TT (U 2.5) If Bishop in net
Montreal +112Last edited by RollinDo; 03-23-15, 11:05 PM.Comment -
Looks like I need a miracle to finish Top 5 in the contest...just had about 10 bad days in a row to go from +14 to -6....and just about even the last week.Comment -
I'm a bit discouraged by tonight's results, but the card was pretty tough really and a winning night, though only +.5 units is a good night.Comment -
Why didn't I take the Sens,does even seem like the Sharks are trying anymore.Comment -

I think I'm going to do something I've never done...small play on U 4.5 in Habs - Preds game and small on U 5...I'd be ok (I think) if I break even if total hits 5...just feel that it may be a 3-1 or 2-1 game...also thinking of locking in Habs ML now...from what I recall they have been $ as dogs this year.Comment -

Blues, Panthers, Preds, KingsComment -

Last known photo of the Russian, believed to be taken behind enemy lines somewhere in the Ukraine, where he is involved in a Top Secret mission to bankrupt every bookie in the region with his NHL picks, setting off a chain of events that will lead to the entire collapse of the enemy states economy.Comment -
Deep down I knew Kings would win.. stupid heart.Comment -
Bolts 2-0 up and give up 3 unanswered goals to cost me my race to 3. gg bolts.Comment -
I might go 0-6 tonight.
Pens lost too after a 2-0 lead...unreal.
Don't know what to say except I suck after I take a break.Comment -
I need to be more selective I guess...was just so psyched about all my plays tonight...already down 3.5 unitsComment -

Hopefully I learn a thing or 2 from tonight.Last edited by RollinDo; 03-24-15, 09:56 PM.Comment -
Anyone take the Wings tonight.Comment -
It's important to use good money management that will allow you to survive through such periods. Depends on what style of betting you have. You might want to bet lower for a while.
Also, you had so many losers because you probably were too aggressive in some of your picks. Generally speaking, if two teams are quite equal the game becomes more of a flip coin and one should not bet on it, or maybe you took an inconsistent underdog with moneyline although a +1 +1.5 handicap would have paid good as well and might of saved a bet, etc. Things can add up quickly. It's a widely known fact that nearly 90-percent of sports bettors will lose money in the long run so never take winning for granted and also have a reserve plan in case things go wrongComment -
Thanks for your write-up bro.
Trying to come today with the mentality that I start with a clean slate...would be easy to try to get back that 5.5 units in a couple days.
Reason I bet so many games is that I liked the card more than any other all season...turns out I hated it the most...if I had picked 10 bets, I probably would have only won 1.
Gotta also keep in mind that if you spend too much time looking into games and consume your mind with bets for most of the day, your life has taken a wrong turn and need to prioritize.Comment -
The likelihood that I will be in the majority 90% is pretty strong.
I have already reloaded one starting with 20 units...and in the hole since then by 10-15 units...can't give up though.Comment -
hey guys sorry ...got late into the hotel after a long ass drive last night and didn't get a chance to post anything
will have something for tonight thoughComment -
+1..
Since you said that, it possibly shows that you don't really know if you have and edge or what your edge is when betting on NHL or sports in general. Since you had the strength to admit that it is very likely that you will end up loosing in the long run you should ask yourself if it is worth betting in the first place. Is it plus EV? Have you ever shown consistent profits? Betting is fun only if you win. Personally I avoid playing even casino games. The house always had the edge there so why bother?
Read about a professional trader a few months ago and he said something that was very interesting. He said: "Learn how not to lose and then the money will come on its own". If something isn't working and you're not making consistent profits then it would be much more plus EV to just stop. You would save a lot more units and time like that instead of having to win them back again.
If you really like NHL or other sport so much you could participate in capping contests and try your strategies there. That way if you're really good you'll make some money there and you can use THOSE money for a bankroll and start betting after that. Even SBR has a lot of NHL contests here for points that you could eventually use to turn pro or even buy something after that. You keep your money safe, learn betting, experiment with your strategy and even have the possibility to win without risking your own money. "Learn how not to lose and then the money will come on its own". If you can't win at a contest with virtual money then for sure you won't win when betting with your real hard earned money.
It's your choice. Personally, a 20units bankroll seems very risky to be using with real money. I would divide the initial amount into smaller units to have at least 60 to start with. Also, one thing that might help is to make a plan for a certain season, an initial bankroll and use it with picks from bettors that have shown consistent profit like Russian Rocket here. Use your picks for virtual contests and his picks or other trustworthy bettors that have shown that they can win at NHL for the bankroll with real money. He puts the picks quite early so you would have enough time to use them if that is what you choose. Then you will have a much bigger probability that you will end the season with a nice profit and then divide all of that by 60 again (or other unit number you choose) and you will have higher units for the next season. It takes time and patience but be serious, it should be a lot better than possibly loosing every season because you never shown consistent profits. Just saying. Think about itComment -
