    -------------------------------------------------

    PHILADELPHIA
    +105 ML// 4.00 units to win 4.20


    PHILADELPHIA FLYERS SERIES +230 (down 1-to-2 games) // 2.00 units to win 4.60
    *this is in addition to the previous total risked 5.50 units Philly to win the series


    Must-win game for Philly on a back-to-back today. Must-win doesn't always equate to a win....but going with my read on this series. I'm not surprised that Philly has put themselves in a situation needing a comeback.

    Record updated. Still have the pending Series and Futures, but looks like the Tampa series will washout with the Philadelphia series, while the Futures are dead without getting a good spot to hedge.

    Thought it was possible the line would move towards Tampa when I bet the overnight line. So I've added a bunch more to make this a total of 10 units risked.

    I am beyond confident on this pick. It looks like I'm chasing losses here going double on my 5-unit max normal.

    I don't do this often... in fact I believe last time I did it was earlier in the regular season before the pandemic, on Boston but they were a huge favorite that game and lost.... I'm not going to dig it up now, but its in this thread and just came back to memory. Sounds kinda like the recipe for another disaster! Nah... this wins tonight and let's say pays me back the previous 10-unit loss on this same side.

    GL if you tail and/or came to the same decision on this game!

    FU if you fade it !!

    That one hurt, went large on it.

    I'm not gonna financially break myself but that game was supposed to be a sure thing.

    I've sucked 2 years now on NHL. All documented here. Maybe I haven't adapted with the game.

    Certainly not disciplined enough.

    Hey I don't follow hockey much but I've read your posts over the years and always thought you were a sharp guy

    I think you're just going through a bad run and maybe chasing a little. We just have to not try to predict when it ends and keep making good bets

    Well boys I think Flyers and Canucks win tonight.

    More confident in Flyers.

    Haven't booked either yet. May do a parlay.

    Hope that helps.

    Good call in philly. But I never parlay two dogs. Bet both separate, one cashes you profit..both more money.

    Long term only way I bet.

    Huge score..

    But long term it’s a losing proposition. Winning one and losing one is a flat out loss

    Mike I know what you are saying, but I'm decent on 2-leg parlays, plus I don't do a lot of parlays.

    Also, the line on any given game doesn't necessarily reflect probability of the team to win that game.

    Some of my handicapping methods could be considered unorthodox. I used the same info for Thursday night as I did for the Monday and Wed losses. Only difference for Thursday - I faded that info for a change.... couldn't let them fool me a third time !!

    We got not just a Game 7 series coming up.... but 3 of them !!

    I will probably not wager on any of them, beyond the big pending action I already have on Philly for the series.... that could be hedged for a portion. That game is not until Saturday, so there is time to think. I feel like letting it ride.

    If anyone cannot live without hearing my leans on the Western Conference games for Friday, ask nicely.

    Friday Sept.4 - Playoffs Round 2 - Game 7

    VEGAS -220 ML// 8.80 units to win 4.00


    Disclaimer: This is partially a hedge play on my Vancouver futures tickets AND I'm very torn on this game, making more than one case for each team. So default fallback on logic. Vegas is the better team with the stronger players. The back-to-back is harder on the Vancouver position players for the style of game they play.

    If we look ahead to the Conference championships round, who will be the Final Four teams? We already know 2 of them: Dallas and Tampa Bay. Two of the best in the league. Vancouver doesn't fit in the same group, Vegas does.

    I’m on Islanders as stated before. However I’m not as confident now though.

    One thing evident by now = gonna be some high drama in Game 7

    Two game 7 series so far the winning teams are the ones who went out to the 3-1 lead but then the opponent tied it

    Trend either continues or gets bucked Saturday

    Watching that effort in Game 7 was more disappointing than losing the bets.

    Islanders played better for the whole series and deserve to advance. I believed the Flyers had the secret recipe, rather than believing my eyes.

    I'm a hockey fan. It was a good series through 6 games. Game 7 was a dud, one team had no energy in a high-stakes playoff game on NBC national TV. The winning team did come to play, so props to them.

    Probably could say the same about the Vegas/Vancouver game 7 but that was more acceptable in my eyes to see one team with a lack of effort as a back-to-back game due to poor scheduling.

    I guess everyone can say the virus is their scapegoat this year for everything.

    Anyway, even if I would've had winning tickets on the Islanders tonight, the game was still disgusting for a game 7
