Yeah I rode those last few you had out...felt the pain but had confidence you'd come back.

Yep, that's the key. The long haul. It takes a very disciplined sports investor to realize that and stay the course throughout the season. Most fail not because of the plays or picks but because of poor money management.

Take care!

Thanks for another outstanding pick PL! I hope you do stay and keep posting your picks, I think you have alot of followers around here, and I see a few have chimed in. I was getting my ass handed to me in pucks, but have tailed you for awhile now and made a nice amount of coin.

Keep up the good work!

With Brodeur out, do you still like NJ tonight PL?

**PLUSLINES** · 12-11-07, 08:33 PM

Sorry for those that follow the posts. I live in Oklahoma and if anyone has seen the news..we have had a devestating ice storm. We are without power so I am forced to travel to a summer home in Texas. Just got in a few minutes ago. All I can now post is what the play would have been for tonight since the game is starting the second....but it is scoreless at this point.

Tuesdays Play: Florida-114

**icemantbi** · 12-12-07, 01:25 AM

Wow, sorry to hear about that PL. I saw the news, and it does indeed look bad. Hope they can get everything sorted out in Oklahoma as quickly as possible. It's sad that this happens at this time of year too.

Wednesday Play: Colorado -105

Good Luck To All That Follow!

Be careful.....we have been on a "cooling off" trend last few games.

Hey Fred,

Just getting back home after a 7 hour drive...sorry so late!

**PLUSLINES** · 12-13-07, 11:50 PM

Been a tough last several days on the NHL front. One thing I always do is review after a loss/losses and make adjustments as I see trends. I do see a couple that can now be made as a result of the last week which will probably affect around 4 games STD. I will incorporate and make the appropriate adjustments going forward. This was a practice I adhered to in MLB '06/07 to ensure I had a strong system by seasons end to start off next season. Although the last days have been tough, the season is still +37.23 units from October 3(first game) to current. There are others with better results and I applaud those posters...Great Job!! If this turns out to be the first losing week in NHL I can still say that we have never had a losing month which would include all of 06'/07 MLB as well as NHL STD.

Good Luck This Weekend Everyone!!! PL

Keep up the good work PL. The losing streaks are always going to come one way or another. Thats why money management is so important and is the number 1 key to winning this game.

As far as the game was concerned, if Holmqvist and Denis "the Menace" could have stopped a couple of pucks, Tbay would have won for sure. Unfortunately neither Holmvquist nor Denis could stop a beachball tonight.

Thanks for the comments Ice. You are right...never thought they would have 9 goals scored on them. I was very disappointed in the TB Goalie. His movements seemed very very "off" to me. PL

This is not a system play but one that the stats point toward the favored here..

**icemantbi** · 12-14-07, 09:56 PM

Thanks for the pick PL! I also love your Anaheim pick also. I heard the Flu is rampant amongst the Wild players.

Saturday Play #2: Ottowa -1.5 (+110)

It is really rare that 2 teams/games in one day fit the "Puckline" portion of the system I use..but today there are two.

Good Luck To All That Follow On This Rare Puckline Play "DoubleHeader"!

No, I do not. Dallas is way too good a team to have a line of -220 against it. I would not touch it myself.

Sorry.....wrong opponent! Phoenix vs NJ..........

Do I think NJ Will win? Yes. Do I think there is a good value here for the line? No. I don't place wagers that I see little or no value, so my answer is ...NO. Maybe consider the -1.5 @ +159 if you decide to play this one..though I don't see anything that would make it a play for me using the system I have.

Good Luck!

Greetings Everyone,

I hope all are having a great wagering day.

After ongoing consideration I have decided to take a break from posting for a while. I appreciate the responses and encouragement to date from those that have "chimed in" and offered a comment/suggestion along this short journey. I will continue to have daily plays behind the scenes and work on improving the system I use as I go, and I am sure that at some point I will offer a comment/suggestion to those here in the forum and hope that others will interact with my posts and offer comments/suggestions/feedback as well. I wish everyone here only the very best of luck, and hope that you are all very successful with your plays for the remainder of this NHL season.

Best Wishes and Happy Holidays!
