Sharks!!!!

[hotcross]

Sunday May 12

UNDER 5.5 -127 CAR@BOS // 3 units to win 2.36

OVERTIME +290 CAR@BOS // 3 units to win 8.70

[hotcross]

Results: May 11,12 = -8.40 units (0-3 W/L)
Playoffs Total = +11.94 units (19-28-3 W/L/D)


Monday May 13

UNDER 5.5 -115 STL@SJ // 1.15 units to win 1

SERIES ST.LOUIS +190 (odds: down 0-1 games) // 1.50 units to win 2.85



Just to explain, I think tonight should be a 3-2 score, not real sure who wins it.

I believe Sharks win the series, however I feel strongly Blues will win Game 3 at home. So I'm taking the Series price before tonight's game 2 in case they win this one. These series odds are better than the game odds for St.Louis tonight. I'll reverse the series wager to San Jose later as the series progresses.

[hotcross]

Yes! 3-2 score Blues .....only after 2 periods though

Blues early goal in 1p

Each team scores 2 goals in 2p. Logan Couture tallied both of the Sharks goals, one of them shorthanded.

Tuesday May 14

CAROLINA -120 regulation only moneyline // 2 units to win 1.66
*push if game goes to Overtime

OVERTIME +280 BOS@CAR // 2 units to win 5.60

[hotcross]

Results: May 13,14 = -5.15 units (0-3 W/L)
Playoffs Total = +6.79 units (19-31-3 W/L/D)


Never thought Carolina would play so poorly through 3 games into the series. Even tho score was closer in game 3, it was terrible, committed 4 or 5 tripping penalties in the offensive zone, and didn't do much when they had numerous Power Plays of their own. Justin Williams their captain got sucked into Brad Marchand headgames. It's one thing to come out on the losing end, but this has been embarrassing for Carolina.


Wednesday May 15

ST.LOUIS -0.5 +120 regulation win // 4 units to win 4.80


Going with my read on St.Louis winning game 3 at home. The amount of the wager is comparable to the Pending series wager I have on them at this point, a little less than the total risked + to win amount. Assuming this wins tonight, I'll be putting it on San Jose to win the series at the new odds prior to game 4.

[hotcross]

Talk about snatching victory from the "jaws" of defeat for the Sharks...pun intended.

Thursday May 16

CAROLINA -0.5 +157 regulation win // 2 units to win 3.14

CAROLINA -1.5 +269 alternative puckline // 1 unit to win 2.69


This will probably now be the first game in this series to go to Overtime, the way I'm running...

[eddycash]

Dang I took the Bruins here but I'm worried

[hotcross]

Eddy, good luck, I've lost 37 in a row here you should be good

[eddycash]

Lol no way has it been 37 losses but I feel your pain. I had blues ml and overtime yesterday

[thomorino]

Not that care dumbfuk but maybe if you stopped posting about stuff like my posts and focused more on your picks your picks wouldn't blowouldnt blow- everyone knows you don't bets on hockey teams down 3-0.

[hotcross]

Results: May 15,16 = -7.00 units (0-3 W/L)
Playoffs Total = -0.21 units (19-34-3 W/L/D)


pending:

SERIES ST.LOUIS +190 (odds: down 0-1 games) // 1.50 units to win 2.85



Yeah, well my pattern continues to be that I run very hot and cold.

My tracking threads are here for MY BENEFIT to track in detail, with a purpose of improving.

Tuesday May 21 - Western Conference Final - Game 6

PLAYER PROP - JOE THORNTON +102 OVER 0.5 POINTS (goals/assists) // 2 units to win 2.04


I'm actually still thinking about tonight's game whether to follow-thru on my original plan to reverse my pending series bet. San Jose series now at +330 and of course its no longer comparing apples to apples with the 3 major injuries San Jose has, elimination game 6 on the road tonight.

However, if this might be Joe Thornton's last ever NHL game, he could be the most motivated individual on the ice tonight. The depleted Sharks roster gives Jumbo Joe a higher percentage chance to reach the scoresheet in the game.

[hotcross]

adding ::

SERIES SAN JOSE +338 (odds: down 3-2 games) // 2.85 units to win 9.63

OVERTIME +300 SJ@STL // 1 unit to win 3


Ok, I'll follow-thru on my plan. It feels like a waste of money, but I never thought I'd see this price offered on the Sharks at any time in the series. The risk amount is equal to the "to win" amount I have pending on St.Louis to win the series.

Throwing the Overtime prop in, don't think this will be one of those multiple open-net finishes in regulation.

Dude,

Where are you? Let’s get this!!

[eddycash]

What's the play pimike?

They been chained up and ready to destroy somebody tonight.

Thanks for your input, your picks are always solid.

[eddycash]

Although you said the Bruins are ready for a war, did you still take the Blues?

Monday May 27 - Game 1

BOSTON -0.5 +105 regulation win // 1 unit to win 1.05

Good job!!!

[hotcross]

thanks Mike

gonna start chasing Overtime, feel very certain they will play one or more OT in this series

Not sure who wins game 2, with the odds around -165 again for Boston, same as game 1

Wed. May 29

OVERTIME +295 STL@BOS // 1 unit to win 2.95

Interesting idea.

Saturday June 1 - GAME 3

UNDER 6 -210 BOS@STL *buy 1 goal // 2.10 units to win 1

[pimike]

Leaning under game 4

[hotcross]

Results: May 21 - June 1 = -1.10 units (3-4 W/L)
Playoffs Total = -1.31 units (22-38-3 W/L/D)

Record for playoffs up-to-date now


Monday June 3 - Stanley Cup Final - Game 4

OVERTIME +280 BOS@STL // 1 unit to win 2.80

UNDER 6 -175 BOS@STL *buy 0.5 goals // 3.50 units to win 2


I forsee this game being a defensive struggle. Going back to the Under attempt, with the price being less than game 3.

Do strongly believe these teams play one more Overtime game in the series, with a good chance it happens tonight.

If anyone wants to know my lean on who wins tonight, I'd say Blues but it won't be easy.

[pimike]

Thanks!

UNDER 5.5 +115 LIVE score 1-0 STL early lead // 3.00 units to win 3.45

[hotcross]

that's what I get for not being patient, end 1p score 2-1 STL leads, with the odds now +215 for under 5.5 goals

As the first period was playing along, the under 5.5 got to about -140 until Boston scored with around 7 minutes remaining in the period to tie it up. Later the Blues got another late goal.

The first goal was a little sloppy the way I saw it, kinda banked one in off Tukka's skate. So I thought the teams would lock it down tighter on defense at that point.

Ugh 6.5 is plus money now

[hotcross]

its not dead yet, but doesn't look good and not adding more to it

could be a 3-1 type score

[hotcross]

12 minutes remaining in 2p and line is back to about +115 for under 5.5
