'dogs tonight? every night?

vassman86 · 01-03-11, 05:52 PM

As bad as the Leafs are, they're worth a shot tonight at +128 or so. They're 3-1 against the Bruins over their last four meetings in Toronto. As long as Gustavvson can maintain his composure tonight, the Leafs can win this one. Keep in mind, the Bruins and Leafs each have four wins in their last ten games.

i like the vancouver pick a lot tonight.

rthoughton · 01-03-11, 07:42 PM

I considered adding the Leafs, but didnt. They will most assuredly win now. ha. 1-0 lead so far...
2 out of three of these would be a really nice start.

gl!

Axis · 01-04-11, 01:57 AM

Took the Isles as well tonight...$$

drfunkmaster · 01-04-11, 03:37 AM

all three hit.. very nice.. i should have taken islanders but i did not... hit chicago and canucks parlay..

On the surface, it's the most topsy-turvy major sport of all time. That's why betting on dogs is profitable. Not blindly betting on all dogs, you gotta pick your spots right. I love hockey!!

rthoughton · 01-04-11, 09:50 AM

I think I picked my 'dog spots well last night. Fantastic start to the thread.
Ill post the plays later.

(YTD- 3-0-0. +4.25u)

rthoughton · 01-04-11, 05:18 PM

Tonight's handpicked 'dogs for Tuesday January 4th.

Minnesota +125 (rested Backstrom)
Columbus +130 (not back2backs, @ Phx)
Buffalo +120 (Ryan Miller has won back to back starts)

(YTD 3-0-0, +4.25u)

Fernburn74 · 01-04-11, 05:23 PM

what does it mean for columbus not b2b at phx

gohabsgo · 01-04-11, 05:28 PM

I'm on minnesota, Do not like buffalo much, colorado are good and buffalo bad on the road

Columbus is not in back to backs, rested, have a shot on the road.
colo is certainly the favorite tonight, but I like Miller and think he gives his boys a shot.
Seeing as how we started this thread 3-0, we have some risks we can take. I realize that the teams on last night's list are much better teams, but I like what's happening here. We get 1of3 even, we're doing well.
holla.

Jones10 · 01-04-11, 09:19 PM

The devils should never be fav in any game they play....Love the Minn pick +125

Glitch · 01-04-11, 10:38 PM

id say if every night you leave out toronto, buffalo and NJ- you will definitely be onto something here. they're garbage.

rthoughton · 01-05-11, 09:32 AM

haha. right on. Ill take that into consideration.

Ruff night. 1-2-0

(YTD 4-2-0, +3.5u)

rthoughton · 01-05-11, 06:33 PM

One play tonight. Im tempted to take the Lightning, but Im not.
Dallas it is. +150

(YTD 4-2-0, +3,5u)

rthoughton · 01-06-11, 09:42 AM

Another dog, another winner. I like the way this is going.

(YTD 5-2-0, +5u)

Sawyer · 01-06-11, 10:33 AM

Dogs are $$$.

bigsmitty · 01-06-11, 11:04 AM

Tremendous value I think Thursday in NSV (+160 or so) over LAK. Numbers are quite comparable for the two teams and NSV is in the midst of a mini winning streak while LAK are knee deep in losses and confidence problems. Cheers

Liking the Preds too, they´ve been hot lately. However, LA won both of their meetings this season. Let´s hope it´s not the case today, gl!

rthoughton · 01-06-11, 02:28 PM

and Nashville just played last night, but it's not like they have far to travel.. i am disappointed that i left them out last night at + money. Really labored over that decision last night...
I was just coming here, however, to put in my plays for tonight on the thread.

New York Islanders +125

Nashville Preds +155

I also like Toronto tonight at +ev at home, but Ill pass.
Flyers definitely win tonight, but they are not a 'dog, so they dont go in our thread.

(YTD 5-2-0, +5u)

Axis · 01-06-11, 04:23 PM

I can't decided between MIN or BUF...Buffalo going all the way to LA is a bit scary...MIN could have some good value against Boston...

spargament · 01-06-11, 04:43 PM

no love for the habs here?

spargament · 01-06-11, 05:03 PM

damn now I see most places they're less than ev dogs haha.

Buffalo is playing in San Jose tonight. That would probably be a stupid bet.

The Canadiens are -135 tonight.

Dan · 01-06-11, 06:20 PM

BOL tonight.

rthoughton · 01-06-11, 07:34 PM

Im ADDING the Penguins at +EV.

Pittsburgh Pens +ev. 1u.

I realized that...my bad. Read the games fast, and new Buffalo went out west...did NOT make that play haha...

rthoughton · 01-06-11, 07:43 PM

no problem. go 'dogs go.

rthoughton · 01-06-11, 07:44 PM

1-0 pens on a rebound.

Dharmonize · 01-07-11, 08:21 AM

Nashville cashed

Also had Buffalo, but 0.5 unit only, unfortunately passed on Minnesota.

rthoughton · 01-07-11, 11:19 AM

Ya, I loved it that San Jose shit the bed at home, after I talked about that being a stupid bet. funny.
I think that this is kinda turning system-y.
How do you feel about something like... Playing 1unit on the 'dog with the highest point total of the day's games, and doubling it if that team happened to be at home?

Anyway, I may begin a new thread with that type of theme.
Ruff night, but we are still doing well. Really needed that Preds dubya last night.

(YTD 6-4-0, +4.55u)

rthoughton · 01-07-11, 11:33 AM

Any suggestions for tonight's slate? Im leaning Rangers and 'Canes.

I have backtracked that already for the season because I was using that game for part of anothery "system" if you will...

In DEC the highest line dog won 10 times out of 27 days
In NOV the highest line dog won 8 times out of 24 days
In OCT the highest line dog won 9 times out of 19 days

I don't have the exact lines but...it wouldn't be turning a big profit, if any...

It was very streak in NOV...winning 4 nights in a row, then losing for up to 8 nights in a row sometimes...

Also, I didn't look at any days with less than 4 games...because with less than 4 games, I think the lines would be tighter cuz the books have have to look at.
