ElCapitan's 2010-2011 NHL Season

[ElCapitan]

Dont want to be captain obvious but if the Puckline with version 2 is at -106.75 for the year, isnt your backroll depleated?

with that in mind, wouldnt your bankroll doubled if you played agaisnt the puckline in version 2?
can the puckline be profitable in any way shape or form?
Just a thought for next season

That's a couple good questions.

Last year I started with 100u and won 65u during last year's season playing both the V1 and V2 ML and PL plays. Those are all documented on last years thread and spreadsheet. This year, if you add the V1 and V2 plays together I've lost 51u. So I'm still ahead 14u from my starting roll.

To answer your second question, yes, it probably would have doubled if I played against the PL. But how was I to know at the start of the season that the results would be so shitty? I'd also double my bankroll if I had tomorrow's newspaper. The V1 ML and PL is profitable this year - to the tune of 56u. As Kev The Brit has been preaching, we should really only be playing V1 plays but I'm invested this far and I'll probably just stick it out and consider it a learning experience.

you may come out better elcap, while the rest of us go down the tubes. ain't over till it's over.

Nice win with MON last, it was as if the Habs knew they r supposed to win, and te Canucks knew they r supposed to lose?! LOL. Anyways, nice V1 win.

[ElCapitan]

I'm really just hoping V2 gets into a groove and at least minimizes the damage. I really don't expect to be on the plus side with V2 by the end of the season.

Good job Cap on maintaining without a doubt...the BEST thread in the Hockey Forum....

Sorry for asking Capitan. But what is the V1 and V2 series? I'm a newbie so I'm not so much into this yet. Hoping to get some help to be better at the NHL handicap betting.

[ElCapitan]

Way behind, gentlemen. I'm in the process of updating everything.
