    Mrmarket's coinflip at best bet tracking extravaganza!

    Don't come here looking for money because there is none to be made. I'm still learning sports betting and getting a feel for what it takes to cap NHL hockey successfully. I'll be using my spreadsheet but I want to also track my picks here so people can offer help, criticize, make fart jokes whatever.

    And to start this thread off with a bang I'm going to begin by betting the favorite of square betters everywhere: The parlay!

    The Kings have scored 3 goals in their last 3 games, all at home. They actually won one of those games, shutting out the I's 1-0.

    Kings win in OT + 0.67u

    1-1-0 -0.23 u

    March 23, 2010

    Pick tonight is PHX. They are 3-0 against Chicago this season and 4-4-2 in their last 10 games while PHX is 9-1-0 in their last 10. Brian Campbell, Kim Johnsson and Brent Seabrook are still out with injuries for the Hawks. Christian Huet is scheduled to be in net tonight but it is his first game after returning from flu and he his facing a good team in PHX so I do not expect him to be playing 100% even with the Rivalry between the teams taken into account.

    Now I am not confident in PHX to win tonight but with a ML of +145 I think the line is wrong. I think it should be in the +110/+120 Range. At +145 it is too good to pass up and I think that that the bet is +EV.

    ML PHX +145

    EDIT:

    Lined moved even more so i was happy to pick this up at +160. Same reasoning applies.

    what's with the title? do you use a coin to make ur picks? or was that just a name to show results are mostly random anyway?

    No I don't use a coin to make my picks. Yes it was a play on the fact that for most sports bettors their bet is a coinflip -vig. I chose the title because it was better than Mrmarket's picking teams with little success because he sucks at handicapping.

    I know I suck. I don't mind tailing someone but I'm more interested in why they make their picks and not many cappers reveal this information. If you know a capper that makes money and shares his knowledge suggest it please. I'm not going to tail someone who just shares his picks without saying why even if they are winners because I won't get anything out of it.
