    LOL.

    Kings pull their 3rd string goalie to go with with their 4th string guy.

    This one is going to get ugly for Los Angeles.


    I'm still pissed Toronto gave up that goal on a terrible defensive play.

    It's 5-1 Toronto with 1 period still left in the game. I like my chances.

    "I'm focused. I wish I had more available cash, I'd bet more on Toronto.Got the Chinese food ready with some cans of coke to enjoy the game. I'm ready to request a payout!"


    After I saw your comment above from that thread, all it took was seeing Toronto's away record of 6-1 for me to place bets on both the regular ML of -145 and -1+130 line. If the game holds up, then this will be the first one that I tailed from this board this year that I would have won. Thanks.

    Obviously, my decision making skill isn't very good as there are plenty of picks on here that have won and I'm just tailing the wrong ones.

    No offense to jjgold, but I may have to fade all his picks and I have a good feeling that I will come out ahead in the end.

    I'm glad you tailed. In my 25+ years betting sports I realized these sorts of mistakes by the books are few and far between but they were wrong on this one - Toronto should have been -180 and the -1.5 puckline was +232!! it should have been around +140. This game jumped off the page at me last night. I posted my play 30 hours before the game started and was my biggest bet of 2018.

    Everything returns to normal tomorrow, but yesterday and today I knew what the fukk I was doing.

    Since Pinnacle is your avatar, is that the sports book you use? If yes, then you aren't from USA and probably Canada?

    It would be good to know someone who wins in hockey that I can tail.

    Once there was a guy named Takis28 from Canada on a different website who were golden with his hockey picks and just about everyone was tailing him and they all made money. He left many years ago as people were leaving, so I left there as well, but I just checked and he is back, so I will have to start tailing his hockey picks. Hopefully, you are good too. Thanks.

    Yeah I'm in Canada. I do well in hockey but don't usually post plays unless I see something that really stands out. I likely won't have any plays this strong for a while as they just don't come around as often as I would like.

    Can you imagine the Patriots at NY Jets at -2.5? That was the comparison I had in my mind when the Leafs/Kings line came out.

    I bet yesterday when betting opened and had no other action.

    I haven't looked at the schedule yet to see when or if they play next but Minnesota would likely trounce the Kings the same way. Not that everyone with a clue doesn't know this already. Word is out as to how bad the Kings are and will be vs young fast teams.

    Excellent call man , glad you won . It seems some bettors got sucked in on the Kings by the books with the good old "line is too low , they know something " but you stick to it , nice pop .

    Great, Minnesota it is next. Thanks.

    jjgold said Golden State, so I took the Hawks. The Hawks are down 9 with only 4.5 seconds to go. If nothing crazy happens, I would think I should win that too at +12.

    Yes exactly, sometimes there is no need to overthink something that is simple. Plus NHL is not the NFL, I don't buy in to the "books know" logic when a line looks too good to be true.

    Anyway I now have a nice balance at Pinny and shouldn't have to deposit for the rest of the NHL season. I'll play on house money.

    I did bet this for $20 shits and giggles at 888sport.

    $20 to return $500 USD. I included those three heavy faves in order to get 25-1 instead of 20-1.

    I got all my CFL action ready to go this weekend.

    So, are the books baiting people to take Ohio against Buffalo in tomorrow night's game with the line crossing over?

    I watched both of their most recent games and I like Buffalo to win straight up. Sure, Ohio has dominated Buffalo in past years, but this year's Buffalo isn't like the past years. I don't know about Buffalos' defense since they gave up lot of points against Miami Ohio, but Buffalo's QB is quite good and they have good RB's too.

    I know you weren't asking me but football is not hockey and the books aren't nearly as sharp on NHL as they are on NFL/CFB etc. because hockey is not as popular with American gamblers.

    I'm Canadian and don't pay much attention to American football. I prefer hockey, then basketball, then baseball and as a last resort football.

    Got you. Thanks. I did check the future game odds and I didn't see Minneota playing LA any time soon so I was wondering.

    Yeah like Slipknot said I was just using Minny as an example, I don't even know if they play LA anytime soon.

    If you wouldn't mind, it would be great if you could post as many of your picks as possible. Thanks.

    I'm not around much on the forum. I'll tell you what though. If I really like something in the NHL I'll PM you with the play.

    WTF are you talking about?

    He asked me to share my plays and I usually don't but since he asked I agreed to pm him instead of starting a thread. I'm not spoonfeeding anyone all my plays but don't mind sharing a strong lean/ opinion once in a while.

    I'm not selling anything or asking for anything in return because all I'm providing is an opinion.

    It's because so many threads get sh.it on that I prefer private messages.
