    Redman's 2013 IIHF Thread

    G'day all

    I'll be posting my IIHF PiX in this thread for all.
    Sorry for the slow start - I'm on borrowed time as my laptop fan went up... Hopefully repaired soon.

    Hockey is usually a bread 'n butter sport for me but the NHL hammered me - FAIR WARNING

    Last year my IIHF record was 118 wins & 62 losses.

    I will be using Betfair & Pinny for my odds.

    Saturday's plays

    Canada -3.5 @ 2.03 for 2 units
    Can / Den over 5.5 @ 1.565 for 3 units
    Fin / SLK over 4.5 @ 1.806 for 1 unit


    Best O' Luck to All

    Not a great start for the tourney but I have 3k set aside as my BR for this just in case.

    Start 0-3 & down 6 units... The high powered offence of Canada could not pull it off for me. Onto day 2. Gonna slow the bus & go back to single units for a while unless stated otherwise. I'm using decimal odds.


    Belarus in regulation @ 1.69
    Russia -1.5 @ 1.5 (2 units)
    USA -1.5 @ 1.72
    Canada -1.5 @ 1.79

    USA -1.5 @ 1.72

    Canada -1.5 @ 1.79 - A bad call on a kicked in goal for the Swiss probably changed the outcome & caused the loss for Canada... International reffing
    ​Overall a good day - went 3 out of 4 for a profit of 2.62 units

    Currently down 3.38 units

    Sorry folks... My laptop fan died & I had to send it out for warranty work... Then my Server board fried

    Should get my laptop back in a week or so (I could have fixed it myself (10+ yrs exp working on board level repair for Hp & A+ certified since 99'... A$$holes said it would void my warranty) but they wont send me the part.

    Just got my new server board & and have just started to re-install the OS-should be back to normal soon.

    Anyone interested in an ASUS K8N-DL Server board with 2 Opteron CPU's & 6GB of ram please pm me.

    Will be sending Pix out for Thursday's games.

    Cheers All & Best O'Luck on your PiX!

    recap

    down 3.38 units
    Finland / France over 5.5 @ 1.73 -lose 1 unit
    Finland -1.5 @ 1.23 (5 units) -win 1.15 units
    Sweden - 1.5 @1.31 (5 units) -lose 5 units

    currently down 8.23 units

    Thursday's plays

    Russia -1.5 @ 1.94 for 2 units -Gibson is listed as the starter & I don't think he will fare well against a PO Ovie & blazing hot Kovalchuk (plus I think they were playin' possum earlier in the series when France & Finland beat them)
    USA/Russia over 5.5 @ 2.02 for 2 units -thinking a 5-2 or 5-3 final in this match
    USA/Russia over 4.5 @ 2.02 for 3 units
    Russia 1st period win @ 1.79 for 2 units
    Russia ML @ 1.48 for 3 units

    Swiss VS Czech's
    The Swiss have really showed a strong team game & ended at the top of the 'S' group with 20 points. I was not a fan of their win over Canada but shite happens & they have played very well & deserve kudos. The Czechs came very close to missing out this year & ended the prelims with 11 points.

    The odds for this match look very skewed & trappish. I see this being a low scoring game with a good chance for OT.

    Swiss ML @ 2.58 for 1 unit
    Regulation tie @ 4.9 for 1 unit
    Swiss +1.5 @ 1.62 for 2 units
    under 5.5 @ 1.62 for 3 units

    Fins vs Slovaks

    Having trouble with this one & am wary even though the Finns finished at the top & the Slovaks finished at the bottom. I see a tight game, & am very tempted to play the Slovaks ml @ 2.9...

    Canada vs Sweden
    Should be a good game - Pk joins a stacked Canadian roster & should be energized after the way he looked in Montreal's demise. Sweden will be benefiting from the Sedins after their spanking from the Sharks. IMHO, I think PK will have a bigger chip than the Sedins & turn out to be a bigger asset... but that remains to be seen. Canada will also be starting Mike Smith in goal (whew) while Sweden will be going with Enroth. Here's how I'm playing this game.

    Canada -.5 @ 1.85 for 2 units
    Canada ml @ 1.53 for 3 units
    over 5 goals @ 1.89 for 2 units
    Canada 1st period @ 2.0 for 3 units

    Best O'Luck to all

    G'Morn all

    What a game between the US & Russia! Can't believe that Russia started Bryz - he's like the 'Jose Chouinard' of goltending. Varlamov did not do much better though. In the end, BIG CONGRATS TO THE US - for kickin' a$$

    Russia -1.5 @ 1.94 for 2 units -Gibson is listed as the starter & I don't think he will fare well against a PO Ovie & blazing hot Kovalchuk (plus I think they were playin' possum earlier in the series when France & Finland beat them)
    USA/Russia over 5.5 @ 2.02 for 2 units -thinking a 5-2 or 5-3 final in this match
    USA/Russia over 4.5 @ 2.02 for 3 units
    Russia 1st period win @ 1.79 for 2 units
    Russia ML @ 1.48 for 3 units
    ---down 1.9 for this game

    Swiss ML @ 2.58 for 1 unit
    Regulation tie @ 4.9 for 1 unit
    Swiss +1.5 @ 1.62 for 2 units
    under 5.5 @ 1.62 for 3 units
    ---up 3.68 units for this game

    Overall up 1.78 units for the day with Canada still to play.

    Adding
    Canada regulation win @ 1.87 for 5 units
    Over 4.5 goals @ 1.6 for 3 units

    That's all for now - Best 'O Luck everyone!
