Take Edmonton tonight at +195 or better

[yisman]

+195 at Bodog
+201 at Pinnacle
+216 at Matchbook

Yes, Chicago is one of the three best teams in the NHL, and yes, Edmonton is poor and banged up, but this is a pretty easy play.

Chicago is way too expensive for a road game.

The line might be inflated due to Edmonton's major slump. No matter. This line would be about right in Chicago, IMO. In Edmonton? Not really.

I love betting big hockey underdogs to begin with, and this is way too enticing to pass up.

[DennisGreen]

ML is too pricey but I'd say CHI in regulation or PL is the play in this one. Oilers will not win tonight unless the fix is in

[Ovechkin8]

im with you yisman, -220 is not worth it

[Megaherz]

I can't see Chicago dropping 2 in a row here. Everyone knows of Edmonton's struggles, and the law of eventuality says they will win one eventually, but I just don't see it happening tonight. Even in the loss to Vancouver, Chicago cranked off 44 shots. I just don't see Edmonton standing up to that kind of a barrage right now. I'm going with small stakes on Chicago -1.5.

[yisman]

if you do take chicago, I agree you should take them -1.5 or regulation only.

A good rule of thumb is to never lay over -200 in the NHL.

[yisman]

+210 now at Bodog.

[Busterflywheel]

Looks to good t be true..

agreed

[Frosh]

I sure hope Chicago pulls it out. Got SBR points on it.

The Oil is taking a serious option on Taylor Hall more and more in every day of NHL action.

Seriously, Hershey Bears or Hamilton Bulldogs VS Edmonton Oilers would be an interesting matchup. Wonder who'd win?

Very true. I pretty much never bet anything over -150. It's hard to win long-term betting such heavy chalk.

id put $ on the reading royals (leafs echl affiliate 20 minutes up the road from me) taking the oilers in regulation at this point.....

they look like someone slipped them all ruffies tonight. i need the over here to hit my parlay. 1/2 way through the game and we're halfway to the over. can the hawks put another 3 in the net? from what ive seen tonight i cant imagine them getting one through the pipes....

5-1 final for the Hawks I'd predict. You got it buddy.

[cecil127]

they are frickin lighting them UP! wanna get a good chuckle? check out the title of this thread

bush leaguers....

[yisman]

Ouch. This one lost badly.

I still say that betting over -200 in the NHL is not smart. Much better to avoid the excessive lines and bet regulation only or the puckline.

Hamilton if you give me +200.


I took the over on Covers and Chicago has a good chance of getting that on their own.

LOL yeah I was quick to go against the title of the thread without hesitation. Maybe yisman just wanted more action on the Oilers to improve his Hawks PL odds.

well ill be a monkeys uncle....the leaking oilers scored a goal

I'm nervous for my blackhawks. Seriously.

Yup you must be having flashbacks of their blown 5-1 lead in the 3rd to the Wild. Uh oh.

This is the NHL!

Detroit earlier was up 4-2 with 1:31 remaining and gave up 2 goals (last one with 22 seconds left) and lost in OT!

I don't feel like going through all the effort of tracking it, but I bet you'd be up a nice amount the last few seasons had you taken all the +200 and up underdogs at a low-vig book.

[BigTuna]

I hit the ML and the PL for the Hawks. They are my team and it seems that you are most likely to get burnt by the ML when it is in the -150 range on the road.

Great save by Huet to save the PL with 5 seconds left. I am thinking over for SJ game due to the suspect Hawks goaltending.

[yisman]

I almost had my +1.5.

I got it for -140 at BetUS. Seemed like good value.

I had the oilers +1.5 too

THey have yet to win in 2010

[BossE]

CHI ML -0.5 -1.5 all easy money... who ever took Edmonton is just stupid.

Nah, it was a value play. Perhaps you don't understand the concept.

And -1.5 was not "easy money" if you watched the game.

[yisman]

This team stinks, but I'll try it again:

hosting Carolina, and +140 on Bodog.

Edmonton has played as badly as any team has ever played, but Carolina is a bad team and they're on the road. They have no business laying this much chalk.

BOL with your Carolina call...

[yisman]

I mean I'm taking Edmonton again.

[yisman]

Last week a 4-2 loser and everyone's all over the thread.

4-2 winner this week and no one around!


1-1 +.4 on betting Edmonton.

[waco66]

nice call!

[Sawyer]

Nice call!

[cecil127]

4-2 winner this week and no one around!

probably because they(me included) took the Canes tonight() hoping the oilers would come out and be their same chitty self just like the previous dozen + they've not shown up for....yea well it had to end somewhere, eh?

the bad news is their next game is against the flyers. the good news is: they are the flyers.

[mr. leisure]

Good 1 yis
