Can anyone explain the St. Louis/Colorado line?

I noticed this too, I can't explain this one either. But it looked too fishy to me so I left it alone..

Alot of money coming in on the blues to move the number so much. Don't see much value in betting the blues now, however your getting the best number on the day to bet the avs but the big line movement should be a concern.

I don't have a strong lean toward any team in this one. Colarado is pretty good at home and St.louis is just as good on the road. Wouldn't be surprised whichever team wins tonight.

people don't like betting on the Ave's when they're above -150? Books had to adjust? Make sense to me.

Would you bet on the Aves at -150 against a team that can win close games on the road?

I think -145 or -150 was a fair line.

Why would St. Louis keep attracting money at +120 and downwards?

I caught a bad beat with the under, good day

yisman · 02-08-10, 10:08 PM

I had the under as well, but I wouldn't call it a bad beat.

What would you call it?

A bad pick?

Four goals in the first period.

A bad pick to me is a pick when you don't do research. I did my research and it looked good to me. It wasn't a bad pick for me, a losing pick, but not a bad one, good day

I think you don't understand what bad beat means.

If you think you made a good pick and it doesn't come close to winning, that's not a bad beat.

A bad beat is picking the under and having the over goal scored on an empty net with 2.5 seconds left.

A bad pick is when it loses outright.

THEGREAT30 · 02-08-10, 10:43 PM

A bad beat to me is when you got bad information, like someone giving you a beat or the rundown on a situation and the info was wrong, what you guys are explaining has nothing to do with getting a beat or the flow of something.

I don't think you understand.

Peanut butter and jelly means Peanut butter and jelly. Just because Peanut Butter and Jelly means Rice Crispies to you doesn't mean it's not Peanut Butter and Jelly.

That's just how everyone else uses the term.

Anyway, Colorado went down 2-1 but scored four straight goals.

Weird game all around. Still don't get why all the money on St. Louis.

a bad beat is just what keyboarding explained ,a winner all the way until last few minutes or seconds then suddenly your winning bet is BEAT!!!!! no other way to explain but with this description.

It's definitely not a universal thing to understand. You can understand this though, I will not follow the thought process of you people, good day

I didn't really notice the line or movement, but you're right, it made no sense.

I was on st.l. at +140. Similar to the bruins at habs on w/e did not get why bruins were favs but bet them as dogs wherever available.
