It's for that reason that I put a bet on each game each night (and post them in my thread here). If there are games I think are good spots, I'll put a little extra on them or throw them in a parlay. I find betting all the games each night though helps me to have a better idea of general trends, how teams have been doing, what players are performing well etc.
At the end of the day though, I just enjoy watching hockey, and I find having a bit of money on the line makes it that much more enjoyable.
