Today I like the Rangers, Habs and Isles. But haven´t done any research yet.

jonnyboy21 · 03-30-11, 04:04 PM

If I only I took the +115 on the Rangers that was on offer earlier today......I do think they will win but now the line has moved so much and they are a fave, there's just no point taking them. As for other dogs, my initial leans are Anaheim and the Habs.

Dharmonize · 03-30-11, 05:10 PM

You steal my words, man! I guess we´ll have to start taking dogs once the lines come out. I really liked the Rangers earlier today. As for my initial lean to the Isles, I realized they don´t fit in my cathegory of the teams able to make the play-offs. So the Habs are what´s left. As for Anaheim vs. Calgary, I expect a severe battle there. This game is a coin flip and no bet for me, although I, as many others, like the over here. I will either take the Habs or wait for live betting. GL tonight and keep killin´it, Jonnyboy!

Dharmonize · 03-30-11, 05:46 PM

Alright, Habs, 0.5 unit, just a bet for fun! And I´ll keep an eye on the Blues live, if the full NBA card allows it tonight. GL everyone whatever your plays are!

ebbearsfb1 · 03-30-11, 06:43 PM

Fuckin habs look like shyt

Dharmonize · 03-31-11, 09:09 AM

All three initial leans wrong... and didn´t even catch the Blues before they started the cannonade

jonnyboy21 · 03-31-11, 09:23 AM

At least the Ducks got it done?!

Nice big card tonight, but in terms of dogs, not a great deal that I like initially, though I haven't looked at any of the games in detail this early. The Sens look like a nice play and I think the Oilers could win in Minny considering how poor they've been lately, particularly on home ice. Big game in Long Island also and the Isles will be up for that, so there could be some potential good value on them as a dog.

Dharmonize · 03-31-11, 01:49 PM

Yes, the Ducks were a good call, I cashed on the over (an empty netter saved me), but this total was not a dog play. You are right, today there´s really not much to choose from, but I kinda like the Kings, and possibly the Stars? I certainly won´t be betting on any of the earlier games.

Dharmonize · 03-31-11, 08:04 PM

Took Colorado at home, 1 unit. Hopefully they´ll play for pride and fans. GL!

Dharmonize · 03-31-11, 09:05 PM

LA Kings, 1 unit.

Dharmonize · 03-31-11, 09:27 PM

Fookin´Avs

Dharmonize · 03-31-11, 09:30 PM

The Stars, 1 unit. GL!

Dharmonize · 03-31-11, 11:10 PM

OMG, a night to forget

Dharmonize · 03-31-11, 11:44 PM

6 picks in two days... 6 totally WRONG picks... I wonder if it´s possible to suck even more

Dharmonize · 04-01-11, 02:50 PM

Not that I am superstitious, but I´m taking a day off today

GL with your bets, everyone!

Dharmonize · 04-02-11, 09:51 AM

Ahhh, bloody Avs

When I think they have a solid shot at home, they lose (in a way that ruins both the Preds pl and Avs ml). The very next day, when it looks like they stand no chance at all against Phoenix, they pull out a win. Disgusting team... and I used to like them

Dharmonize · 04-02-11, 01:45 PM

Detroit at + money after being embarassed by St. Louis and giving up 10 goals? Although the Preds seem to own the Wings this year, I can´t pass on them. Red Wings, 1 unit. GL!

Just stuck a unit on this play too (before reading this)

Glad to hear that, GL

that takes alot of balls to pick detroit after that fiasco the other nite....bol....think i would have taken nsh

Dharmonize · 04-02-11, 03:20 PM

Looks like the Wings are shitting the bed again

I could do with one cold beer from your avatar right now, man!

As for the Wings, I thought they would try to make up for that previous debacle. Not looking good, but the game is far from over...

Dharmonize · 04-02-11, 05:10 PM

OK, all praises to Justin Abdelkader. Wings cashed

Dharmonize · 04-02-11, 05:28 PM

I like the Sabres, Habs, Ducks and possibly also Panthers. I´m gonna wait for live betting, though. Three of these dogs are gonna miss their top goalies (Miller, Hiller and Vokoun), so I´d better see how it goes first. Have a successful night, everyone!

I´m off for NBA...

Dharmonize · 04-03-11, 11:37 AM

It´s Sunday again, which means my regular time for losing some money on the totals has come

. NYR at Philly, over 5.5. 1 unit. GL! I´ve been considering taking the Rangers, but I don´t trust them enough. Let´s just hope both teams will be in the scoring mood today.

Dharmonize · 04-03-11, 02:34 PM

And another "success"

Whenever I´m deciding between dog and a total in certain game, and decide to take the totals, the dog comes through, but my total doesn´t hit...

Congrats to those who were on the under!

Dharmonize · 04-03-11, 04:03 PM

Considering what I said above, I should logically take Buffalo now. However, I´m gonna try the totals once more. Everybody´s sold on the under. I think this game is a coinflip concerning both sides and totals. I´ll take my chances. Buffalo x Carolina, over 5.5, 1 unit. GL!

Dharmonize · 04-03-11, 04:07 PM

No play, sorry guys! The line has dropped... no play on the over! Forget the previous post! I posted the pick before I refreshed my screen...

Dharmonize · 04-03-11, 04:10 PM

Buffalo, 2 units! GL!

Well done, Sabres, thank you for not letting me down

Dharmonize · 04-04-11, 02:23 PM

I´m thinking about putting my money on the Bruins tonight. They are simply the better team here...

odog11 · 04-04-11, 02:48 PM

If you do, play the Bruins in regulation +140. Only have one 3 of 14 times they have gone to overtime.

I always choose the "safer" way if I can get a team at + money including ot. I think it´s more worth taking the home teams at regulation to get the better odds.

Dharmonize · 04-04-11, 03:01 PM

Aha, the Bruins line went down...

I see... I´ll have to reconsider then...

Yes, but Bruins actually better on the road this year, slight revenge factor and Rangers on 1 days rest after a big win. I would take the rangers on the ML, tie not that unlikely and Bruins overtime/so record is poor.
