I dont know much about hockey but I was looking up how many times Detroit had lost a game at home when they were leading after the 2nd period. I before Tuesday's game that they had only lost 1 game all year at home when leading after 2.
So using that info, I bet Detroit after the 2nd period Tuesday vs Ottawa. Odds were -455. But I figure, 1 game all season, that is a good bet. They give it up in the 3rd period. Lose a shoot out. And i lose.
So I figure next home game, I'll also bet on them if they get a 2nd period lead. No way they can lose 2 games in a row at home in that fashion. Odds were -333. Detroit even takes a 2-0 lead early in the 3rd period. Somehow, they give up 3 goals in the 3rd period and lose again.
I dont think Detroit has lost consecutive home games, when leading after 2 periods, in over 8 years. And the one time i start betting on this, I lose. Maybe I should have known because the Red Wings have been complete trash since late February. But still, blowing a 2-0 lead in the 3rd period on your home ice. That shit never happens. And two games in a row at home? Insane
