Late to the game but just found this forum and enjoy reading everyone's thoughts on the games each day. Lets try and make some money boys. I'll post a pick on each game, then some general thoughts or most favored bets of the day and tally it up with a 1u bet on all. Any thoughts or input are always appreciated.


Sharks -0.5 in reg +137
Bruins -0.5 in reg +117
Capitals +130
Hawks -1.5g +107
Canucks -154

Really like the Bruins today. Both teams won on the road last night and will travel to Toronto. The Leafs gave up over 50 shots on goal for the second straight game, got in to penalty trouble and blew a 3-1 lead in the 3rd before pulling it out in a shootout. Boston always plays a punishing physical game and the Leafs are decimated with injuries right now, especially up the middle. This is a terrible matchup for Toronto.

Ducks -0.5 in reg -133
Canucks -0.5 in reg +108

Lots of chalk tonight, should be a few 'sure things' but always leery when they seem too easy like this. Nothing that stands out as a best bet at these prices. Gl everyone.

[Ser Pucks]

Nice start yesterday. GL tonight Sir.

[bdc30]

ha -- didn't even realize when I bet it (or posted it obv) but my Flyers bet was Regulation ML, so the shootout loss = a push. Nice surprise, although I would have been pissed if they'd won in the s/o...lol

How is that Philly loss a push. Makes no sense, u get your money back since they didn't win in regution????

[bdc30]

regulation money line (no spread) so yeah any tie at end of regulation is a push (even if philly wins in ot/shootout). As I say, I didn't mean to bet it. Will take it as a loss for record-keeping purposes though as that's how I posted it, I was just glad to see the stake end up back in my account lol

Time to get some back after a tough day today.

Kings -132
Ducks -138
Hawks -0.5 in reg -115

On all the chalk tonight. Really think this is a good spot for LA. Phaneuf's suspension adds to the Leafs injury woes, as he plays a ton of minutes every night against the other teams' top line.

Busy night in the nhl...good luck everyone

Mtl -133
Clb +150
Tb -113
Stl -1.5goals +120
Col -103
Dal +111
Car -107
Phx -165
Bos -0.5 in reg +114
Min +179
Ott -0.5 in reg -117
Grand Salami under 60.5 -115

Couple good spots for upsets tonight I think. The Rangers are playing rough at the moment, and Columbus for some reason have gelled together since their #1 goalie went down. Minny played pretty decently last night in Anaheim and the Sharks couldn't put away the Islanders at home, which should get you banished from the league.
I like Carolina in Calgary tonight too, with a day of turmoil around the team after they fired their gm and assistant.

Strongest plays of the day imo are Montreal in Philly, and Boston in Edmonton. The Habs will be looking to get things straightened out after being embarrassed in their own barn by LA the other night and Briere will be pumped for his return to Philly. Boston has some players hurt or suspended but they're just too big and physical for the Oil imo.

Best of luck with your plays guys

as an aside, hit a nice round robin/parlay last night with Bos/Stl/Phx/Ott all -0.5 in reg

[RollinDo]

Nice job last night bdc! I was leaning Grand Salami too, but a couple of games I thought could have gone well over...well, they did, but got a few really low scoring ones.

[bdc30]

Chalk city again tonight, I wish the schedule was a bit more balanced instead of 3 games one night and 10 the next.

Caps -128
Pens -0.5 in reg -115
Canucks -0.5 in reg -131

Really like all these games tonight, Vancouver has won 5 straight and Edmonton will be bagged after last night. They really did put in a good effort against Boston but the early 3-0 hole was too deep to climb out of. Washington have won 3 straight and Ovy is on fire. Might not even be a bad play to take them in regulation but -128 is decent also. Pittsburgh is 7-2-1 in their last 10 and the Devils are, well, the Devils...lol

Best of luck everyone

Lightning -101
Hawks -160
Pens -108
Coyotes -153

As you can see I'm on pretty much every early favorite. Best bets of the day are Los Angeles, Chicago and Pittsburgh though. Good luck everyone

[bdc30]

Adding Blues -0.5 in reg -106, line wasn't up last night. Think this is a great spot for them. Couple wins in the early games always a nice way to start the day.

Didn't get up in time to post picks before gametime tonight so won't record these, but I bet Wash/Fla/TB and then Anaheim (-0.5 in reg).

Good luck everyone.

[bdc30]

of course i go 4-0 today...lol As I say, won't count it towards totals but can show screenshot of action if anyone cares that much. Lets replicate that tomorrow now!

edit -- I guess the Anaheim one was up before game time, so I'll take that one (odds were -137) lol

[bdc30]

Posting early for today...only 4 games.

Jets +115
Avalanche -136
Leafs +175
Blues -0.5 in reg +120

Like the Blues today, hopefully they learned their lesson in CLB the other night having to come back after a slow start. Took the Leafs here because in 2 prior matches with Pit this year they won one 4-1 and lost the other 6-5 after blowing a big 3rd period lead on a questionable Malkin goal. Malkin may not play tonight either, to add the the Pens injury issues. Leafs coming off a big (shocking) win against Chicago where Lupul got 4 points. Maybe they're hitting their stride?

Today's one of those days, I can feel it already. On a lot of road teams....

Jets -104
Lightning -101
Panthers +117
Caps +104

Ducks -115
Sharks -101
Canucks -105
Hawks -154
Avalanche -101
Bruins -0.5 in reg -137
Kings -0.5 in reg -121

Two most preferred are the bruins and kings games, but otherwise there are a lot of games today that could go either way. There are days that it's tough trying to pick the entire board and this is one of them. See how we make out. Good luck with your picks everyone.

Decent day really, hit another 4 game round robin for a lovely profit too

[RollinDo]

You are clickin' on all cylinders lately bdc! Nicely done!

I chickened out on LA Kings because I was already having a decent night...didn't want to spoil it but this seemed to be the most obvious pick of the night.
I should look into playing Kings until they hit a bump.

[bdc30]

I did hedge a few bucks on the Oilers +1.5 late when I had the other 3 parlay games locked up hoping to hit the middle (or at least secure a profit if Edmonton won somehow) but all in all was happy with the night. Also hit the salami under 66.5 but it wasn't up at the time I posted the game list.

[bdc30]

4 bets tonight but only ½u on each as both games could really go either way. I'm betting that one of the two games gets to overtime, and could see both even as a possibility. Getting almost +300 if I hit one it's a profit.

Sens/Devils goes to OT Yes, +288
Pens/Rangers goes to OT Yes +291
Devils -125
Pens +112

Lots of games on the slate again today, lets give this another go.

Pens -131
Coyotes -110
Bruins -0.5 in reg -111
Flyers -148
Lightning -129
Wings -143
Panthers +122
Canadiens +140
Canucks -115
Sharks +107
Avalanche -0.5 in reg -118

There's a few games I like tonight. The Avs should handle the Oilers with no problem at home (famous last words...), and if there's ever a spot that the Redwings should be able to find a home win this is it. The Leafs have been playing like garbage and lost yet another centerman to injury in their last game.

As far as the prices go, I think StL has been lackluster as of late against some teams that they should have been able to handle. Montreal woke up after a slow start against Phoenix the other night for a good win at home. Also, Florida has been hot as of late and beat the Leafs at home fairly easily. Ottawa has been up and down like a yo-yo and looked pretty disjointed last night in an ugly loss to the Devils.

Anyway, we'll see how things shake out. As always, good luck with your picks everyone.

Tough day yesterday, the Boston loss really perplexes me. Killed a nice parlay, though I did hit the other 3 games to break about even. Ah well, back at er today.

[bdc30]

Riding a few streaks today.

Ducks -117
Caps +106
Panthers +139
Rangers -0.5 in reg +105
Hawks -0.5 in reg -107

I really don't understand how FLA is +139 today...they've won 5 in a row and Winnipeg hasn't exactly been lighting it up. They only have 4 wins in their last 10 and are under .500 even in their home barn. Good enough for me to take a shot at this price.

The Rangers showed some life (finally) with a gutsy comeback in the 3rd against Pit the other night before falling in a shootout. Their cross-town rivals should be a good way to jumpstart the club. Isles have 1 win in their last 10 games...

Vancouver looked terrible last night in a loss to Dallas, with Luongo getting chased from the cage. Chicago should be able to push them around a bit tonight.

Best of luck with your plays today everyone

[RollinDo]

Have enjoyed following your plays bdc30. You seem very knowledgable and I'm starting to think I should tail your plays.
One that I like is the Hawks - not a big risk at -107.

[Jerimjob]

I'd watch out for the Florida-Winnipeg game.
Florida is playing the second half of a back-to-back travelling to Winnipeg.
Bogosian is back for the Jets, and Kane looks healthy.
Winnipeg should look for revenge after getting embarrassed by the Panthers last time 5-2.

Florida is playing well so it's a good price, but a little risky IMO
