        For you, Cosmo Kramer, I will consider it. Seinfeld is my favorite show of all time, and Kramer is the best character on it.

        And the reason I vanished was because it does get old "talking to yourself" on here

        I kept betting the system, just quit posting the bets. The past week has been so-so. I only made 8 units compared to 23 the previous week. There were a lot of unders this week, so my o5.5 weren't as good. There were also several OT games, so that hurt my REGs too.

          I can relate, it is my favorite show as well, must've watched every episode like 5 or 6 times, some maybe a dozen, the jokes never get old.

          Was tailing you for like $10 a unit until you vanished, had a nice run and like the high return juice free approach spreading the risk, wasn't too much talking on here, but I appreciate your effort. You decide to continue posting I'll have some feedback over the days, let me know

          Let's keep the train rolling

            Nothing wrong with only "8 units" in a week. If we could do that every week, life would be so much better.

              Canucks/Avalanche o5.5 (+135) 1x
              Oilers/Ducks o5.5 (+140) 1x


              Canucks/Avs: Jacob Markstrom and Calvin Pickard are the starting goalies for this game. If they can keep it under six goals, I will take my loss and move on.

              Oilers/Ducks: This one worries me. I usually put on Ducks home games to help me fall asleep at night. I only hope that Bernier struggles tonight against Edmonton, like he has for his career.

                  Rangers REG +114
                  Maple Leafs REG +121
                  Avalanche REG +180 (.5x)
                  Avalanche +110


                  Rangers REG: Steve Mason (Flyers goalie) on the road in the month of January. End of analysis.

                  Maple Leafs REG: Wings just played in OT last night against the Bruins. They let one slip away in that one. I'm thinking Petr Mrazek will be starting for the Wings tonight. I'm hoping the Leafs have more energy tonight and take care of business.

                  Avalanche REG/ML: I'm well aware of how awful the Avs are. However, they are getting Vancouver's backup goalie tonight and the Canucks are not good on the road. I'm hoping the Avs can pull their shit together and get it done here.

                      My whiskey cup will stay filled tonight. House to myself so smoke will be in the air. Tonight will be good.

                        Frederik Anderson is likely and who I am hoping for. 6-0-1 in his last seven road games, going back to 12/10/16.

                        I've not seen Detroit's announcement yet. I would prefer Mrazek start, Coreau did give up 5 goals to the Leafs back on New Years, so I'm betting it regardless.

                          I failed last night. I took overs on an unders night. Rangers game was whack. Betting on Avs is Russian Roulette pretty much, except there's like 3 bullets in the barrel.

                            The good thing about all dog bets is a night like that doesn't kill you. Go 2-1 tonight and you have pretty much erased it.

                                Thanks guys, I feel I need some luck. If I don't do well tonight, I need to bow out. I don't want to be someone who starts off hot and then stinks up this place. That looks shady and puts thoughts in people's heads.

                                            Thanks for the support, brother. It was a bad night record-wise, but it profited. The reverse puck lines I added at the end saved me.

                                              Thanks, man. I got in my head and thought I probably look stupid posting so many bets. That's why I tried to trim it up and make less bets. But for some reason, I do better this way. I don't do well at going over 50% making only these + odd bets, but I'm new to this style. I hope to improve through experience.

                                                Nice work. You crushed those reverse puck lines.

                                                  Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays are the days where the NHL has the most games. I will start posting two reverse puck lines on those days. I've been studying them hard.

                                                    YTD: 51-79-2. +16.37 units


                                                    I'm still amazed at how such a shitty record has accrued me over 16 units. Low risk/high reward has been good to be so far, but it sucks having such a terrible record. I'm going to be doing some things differently to try to help that out. I will now be open to taking bets at negative odds. I will still take o5's and move them to o5.5 so that I can get good + odds, but I will also start moving u5's to u5.5 if I feel it will help me win. I know the odds will go down to like -150 sometimes, but I'm going to try it. I hope to hit around 70% doing that. The overall goal is to win more bets and units at the same time. Going 4-9 for +1.75 is not what I'm after. Then again, if this change doesn't help, I will go back to making only + odds bets.

                                                      What are you after then? Isn't plus units the only thing that matters, not record? 16.37 is pretty dam good. I wouldn't care about the 51-79-2 as long as the units are good. Just my opinion...

                                                            Finally, we get some NHL action again. There are a lot of really good games tonight. I'm going to enjoy watching as many of them as possible. Today has felt a little like Christmas did as a kid. I just hope I make a little bit of money tonight while watching the action. The players should all be fresh and rested, but sometimes that leads to rust.

                                                            Jackets/Rangers o5.5 (-120)

                                                            Devils +129
                                                            Devils REG (+203) .5x

For the 1st month of the season put 1 unit on every dog in every game. At the end of April look at where you are. Every year since I can remember the win rate is 46-47% but you are up good units. I learned this from a contest across the street. Year after year this is true. The leaders in the mlb contest play every single dog in april

I was nervous about doing it to the Canadiens game because of so many 5 goal occurrences, but I do regret not doing it in the other two. Jackets backup goalie and Rangers at home = 6 or more 80% of the time. Blues are trending to become the worst goaltending team in the league and Pavelec (Jets) on the road is not good. Should have moved that one to 6.

                                                                      It's all about grabbing as many units, as I can, whenever I win. I kind of lost that train of thought tonight, mostly because of uncertainty of how the players would play tonight.

Then teams that sign a bunch of free agents that are overrated that bomb as big faves. Think Zach Greinke last year. After everyone has 30 games in and pitchers have 4 or 5 starts, books can adjust accordingly
