Regulation bet otherwise known as the team involved (-0.5)

**jonnyboy21** · 02-17-11, 09:03 PM

The remaining plays which are from the last 3 games of the night have now been finalised (please see above).

**jonnyboy21** · 02-17-11, 09:45 PM

The Rangers certainly made that harder than necessary conceding the lead twice in regulation but at least they got it done in the SO...Mats Zuccarello makes it look oh so easy!

A rare off night which wasn't even that bad, just the slightest of losses overall from tonight (half a Unit).

It's Friday though, and you know what that means

....the weekend is upon us!....

It's becoming a bit of a specialty in my picks, last weekend we went 13-3-1 and the sky is the limit once again for this weekend so let's get it off a to a great start tonight!

**Bajadave** · 02-19-11, 01:37 PM

I'm still running the pony....................lets get it ON!
Okay you mean the game has to end by the regulation time of 3 periods? Not OT or SO?

Yeah man, most books offer that market. It may be stated as -0.5 or regulation betting or 60 minutes betting. You get better odds than the money line this way, but for the bet to win they have to win during regulation (before OT/SO).

I am now looking at tonight's games. Plays should be up within 30-45 minutes.

**jonnyboy21** · 02-19-11, 05:27 PM

19/02 Picks

Ottawa Senators (1 Unit) - if your book offers "draw no bet" take that line - I get better odds of +175 compared to the ML which is +165 with my book.

New York Islanders (1 Unit) - again, consider the draw no bet if your book offers it, because if the game goes to OT...."the Isles have more non-regulation losses against teams from that conference than every other club in the East."

Tampa Bay Lightning (-0.5) (3 Units) (Bet of the Day)

Phoenix Coyotes (1 Unit)

Dallas Stars (half Unit)

**jonnyboy21** · 02-19-11, 07:41 PM

The remaining plays (Coyotes and Stars) for Saturday night have now been finalised.

**Bajadave** · 02-19-11, 08:20 PM

AAH man............I took the stupid Kings........................NYI looking good.

**Bajadave** · 02-19-11, 08:27 PM

JUst jumped on Dallas...............................1 unit

**jonnyboy21** · 02-20-11, 10:01 AM

Sorry man, it was always the unlikeliest and hardest dog to hit of the night, hence I only put half a unit on..we had 3 other sweet dogs hit though.

3 nice dogs that hit on Saturday night but Tampa let us down. Really disappointed in them considering they only had 2-3 mins more to hold on to the lead, let it slip and then lost in the SO, despite having a 4 on 3 during OT.

We can take the odd bump and bruise though (just a tad over a unit loss from the night..) and bounce back as usual tonight.

20/02 Picks

It's about time we had a BOTD hit this weekend!

Washington Capitals (3 Units) (Bet of the Day)
Washington Capitals (-0.5) (1 Unit)
Washington Capitals (1st Period Betting @ +190) (half Unit)
Detroit Red Wings (2 Units)
Detroit Red Wings (-0.5) (1 Unit)
Philadelphia Flyers (-0.5) (1 Unit)
Philadelphia Flyers (-1.5) (1 Unit)

**jonnyboy21** · 02-20-11, 11:49 AM

Caps no longer a dog and will probably be a slight fave by the time live betting starts at the puck drop. Hope you got on time. As a pick'em it's still worth getting on.

**Dharmonize** · 02-20-11, 12:18 PM

GL with the Caps, jonny!

Hope they don´t screw you like the last time we took them against the Yotes!

Welcome back Dharma! With the exception of last night, as you can see I've been pounding the books as usual over the past week

I think the Caps get it done for us this afternoon.

**jonnyboy21** · 02-20-11, 12:49 PM

Added the Flyers, live.

I probably won't have a play on the Heritage Classic for those wondering as we should make a good profit from the current games. Let's cash!

**jonnyboy21** · 02-20-11, 01:14 PM

4 powerplays for the Caps in the 1st period! Really should've won the 1st period...only half a unit though, matter of time I think before Miller gets burned in the 2nd period. Added Flyers (-1.5) live, with the 1st period about to end.

Thanx. I took a little break because there was no NBA and I can´t find any real value in pucks lately. I see you´re smokin´hot, pal! Probably one of the best hockey cappers around here these days.

Pity I never ever tail anyone. Anyhow, I´ll keep an eye on your plays! Makes me comfortable just to see someone´s killing it

Keep up the good work! I´ll hang around "my" thread... c u

**jonnyboy21** · 02-20-11, 04:02 PM

Thanks for the kind words

In terms of tailing others, blind tailing isn't good, but with yourself in particular , we're often on the same wavelength with the dog plays so we end up tailing each other anyway, so to speak

As always ill give my daily dog leans in your thread as well..the underdogs have been pretty good lately, 'specially last night - sens and isles were at really nice odds.

Sunday round-up....

5-2-0 for Sunday and we cashed the BOTD! The Caps should have won more convincingly but at least they got it done in the end. Just over 9 units of profit made today. Another nice and profitable day

Updated record: 78-51-8 +59.8u

**jonnyboy21** · 02-21-11, 12:06 PM

No plays for 21/02!

Very little value across the board today. The +115 on offer with my book on the Pens is tempting, but the Caps ought to continue to improve and take it. I was going to take the Isles but the line has just moved in their favour and so the value has diminished in my view; I don't want to take them at the current odds.

I may play the Isles live, so keep an eye out later. But there are no pre-game plays from me today.

Enjoy your weekend profits!

**jonnyboy21** · 02-21-11, 01:34 PM

I didn't get on the Isles in time before they took the lead, but I hope some of you got on. They are looking very good so far.

**jonnyboy21** · 02-22-11, 11:37 AM

22/02 Picks

Philadelphia Flyers (-0.5) (1 Unit)
Philadelphia Flyers (-1.5) (1 Unit)
New York Rangers (1 Unit) - draw no bet with my book (as stated previously, I prefer this line as better odds and if it goes to OT or SO I get my money back so avoid that lottery, so to speak). Take the ML if your book doesn't offer it (most books don't unfortunately).
New York Islanders (1 Unit) - draw no bet, as above
San Jose Sharks (1 Unit)
Edmonton Oilers (half Unit)
Boston Bruins (1 Unit)
Vancouver Canucks (-0.5) (3 Units)
Vancouver Canucks (-1.5) (1 Unit)

Alright, we had a let-down day on Tuesday, but there's no need to be negative, we're still doing very well, we just lost a few units of profit. It's been a loooong time since we had a loss of more than a unit or two in a night like this. It had to happen, eventually, for one night I guess

But we'll rebound, starting tonight!
