    NHL Hockey 15 San Jose Sharks -1 +174* vs Dallas Stars

    I don't buy the whole "revenge" angle here after the stars were completely outplayed by the sharks the other night. Stars are just not a very good team and just like last year they played above themselves only to crash and burn near the end. Thornton has terrorized the stars this season and they just don't have any sort of shutdown capabilities.

    Stars are outmatched by a bigger, more talented team and if they get down early it will snowball from there. I expect Havlat to have a great night.

    when teams are fighting for playoff spots i am hesitant to pull the trigger on totals because the end of the game can get ridiculous.

    if a team is down 2 they will pull their goalie with a lot of time remaining since they NEED to score goals.

    i really like the under in boston/pitt game though. Both backups in and I am expecting the game to be tight, playoff style hockey.

    Hockey 7 Pittsburgh Penguins/Boston Bruins Under 6 +100*

    if hockey was a predictable sport then this game should definitely hit at least 6, or go over. the pens wont be able to run and gun against a tight boston team. expecting at least one of the backups to shine tonight.

    Only took the under for half a unit because it was just me taking a shot at a too good to be true total. Sometimes you win them and sometimes you lose.

    ill be the first to admit the pacers win was all sorts of ridiculous but a win is a win so thanks.

    as for tomorrow's card i am not too sure yet. wings and the blues have been horrendous lately but this is a huge game for detroit. the blues have begun to wear down because of their style of play and although they wont be changing up their system, i can see there being some extra room on the ice for detroit. both teams coming off a few days rest and you have to figure detroit get up for this game.

    habs/bolts dont have any lines out yet but neither team is playing for anything. tampa bay will most likely just try to get stamkos 2 more goals.

    I might make a play on the wings/blues game but i dont think there is any reason to flip a coin on the other one.

    How many units? Looks like you're a high roller according to those last few plays. $1000 a unit? What are you a Columbian drug lord?

    LOL you sure you aren't adding 0's to your bets? Also may wanna add unit size before the bets for legitness rather than after it cashes. Some friendly advice Mr. Jinx Hell of a jinx on DET game too by the way

    why would i waste my time with a thread if im going to lie about it. i dont think anyone really cares how many units i say im betting as long as i win more than i lose.

    simply posting my picks and posting the result, win or lose

    thank you brotha. college student here so fairly new to sports betting. But this forum is pretty neat. One thing is I think I need to stop on the 4-5 team parlays. Any suggestions on best way to make some $$? Probably the straight bets and not parlays, right?

    yeah parlays are usually no good but they can be great in the right spot. if i do play a parlay i very rarely go past 2-3 teamers because it happens all the time where a "sure thing" crashes and burns.

    stick to straight bets and since you are new really pick your spots and dont hesitate to ask questions about anything you are unsure of. gambling is a grind and if you have great discipline and bankroll management you can make a good profit over the course of a season.
