I don’t intend to lie and say that I am some pro capper, but I have been around the forums for a few weeks, and have been betting hockey and CBB for a couple of years. I am going to start tracking my picks to see if following the good cappers around here is making me money or not.
I have placed 200 units online ($20 units), and will be splitting 100 units for CBB and 100 units for hockey.
As far as hockey goes, I don’t like to bet any large dogs or large favorites. I find that in hockey, barring the top and bottom 2 or 3 teams in the league, almost any team can win on a given night, though I have not been tracking closely enough to really know if that is true. Even though they win more often than not, I prefer not to lay -220 to -250 for some of the home favorites lately like Vancouver and San Jose. If I can get Boston on the road at -140 to -160 I might bet them though.
Regularly, I bet either 2 or 4 games per night, and bet usually on teams laying between -120 and +140. The idea is that if I go 1/2 or 2/4 on the night, I am up. If I can scrape out 3 out of 4, that’s just a bonus.
So, here we go with day #1: December 26, 2011
1u Dallas +155
1u Phoenix +120
1u Washington -105
1u Colorado +125
2011/12 Record (0-0-0)
Good luck!
