    Betting On Hockey Sucks Now

    How the hell can anyone compriehend ottawa going into toronto and beating them on their own ice surface 4-1 then the next night coming home with the added advantages of home crowd and last line change and get whupped 6-0?????Betting on hockey absolutly stinks and ever since that damn salary cap and the new rules,these games are very unpredictable.You can't be assured that a favourite will win like you would in a soccer match.HOCKEY BETTING IS DEAD!!!!

    I had a feeling that might have happend tonight, but I couldn't put my money down on it at all. I don't care who is playing who, it's just hard to sweep a team in home and home meeting like that.

    And another thing...i was watching the lines and the first game in toronto,ottawa were slight favourites and the line went down telling me that people were taking toronto and the second game in ottawa,ottawa were heavy favs and the line kept going up,telling me that people were taking ottawa.So what i'm getting at here is the fact that you can't even follow the damn lines because the line changes mean nothing.I got sucked in to betting on ottawa because of the result of the game the previous night and i'm mad as hell.Home ice apparently means absolutly nothing in hockey any more.Hockey several years ago was pretty straight forward to predict.You had your powerhouses like a stacked colorado.But with that goddamned salary cap the teams are quite level now.Betting on hockey has become as unpredictable as betting on baseball.I'll stick to betting on soccer where there is no salary cap and the favourites beat the underdogs on a regular basis.penetrate HOCKEY!!

    Yep.

    With those new rules at Pinnacle, with the regulation half puck lines in effect again. It could be good to bet hockey again.

    Man, hockey sucked for me tonight, had Devils, Canadiens, and Columbus. All 3 were winning and I thought had won when I was watching the bottom line at the cardroom, come back and see two blew it in the final minutes and then lost in extra time
