    TB a trap?

    Are oddsmakers trying to lure people in with TB at just -230 for ML, and -135 for Edmonton TT (U 2.5)?
    Guess I don't have the insight...maybe Lightning are fatigued or key players are ill? Just trying to understand how these are not the easiest lines in quite a while to make $$.

    I wouldn't recommend going heavy on either - maybe go TB -1 and/or Edmonton TT (U 2.5).

    I wouldn't suggest going ML in hockey with an line that high. If I feel confident enough with the game, and that team winning I will snag the - 1/2 for better odds.

    I have ML -240, and -1/2 for -160. The only flip side, is that they have to win in regulation time and not go to OT.

    There are a ton of times, that you can get great -1/2 for +.

    For example, my bookie has right now, -1/2 +110 win in regulation for Vancouver or -1 1/2 for +200.

    I agree with that however I parlayed it with two others (Mil Bucks & St Blues) so the odds are good

    I dont actually play a single game either ie I will now be on TB til they win. They have just started a 4 game home stand and have lost 2 so the odds of them winning a game within the next 2 to 3 are extremely good. Thats the support I look to for all my plays
