Hockey BEST BETS - Tuesday 02/28/2006

[onlooker]

Who do you like today?

I will track everybodies plays, so please make sure you post a line.

Also, I don't mind if you post parlays, teasers, or round robins, but these plays will not be reflected in the standings.

[onlooker]

NHL is back. How do you think these teams will come out of the break?

[imgv94]

Maybe Under Bets are the way to go?

[juuso]

I'm going to bet some NHL tonight after few months break. Got interested a lot more about hockey again during the olympics.

[juuso]

Starting the day with a solid play on Finnish SM-Liiga.

Lukko-Assat -0.5 @ +106 (Pinnacle) 3 units

Lukko is out of the play-off picture, selling two of their important players in the olympic break. They are also having big injury problems right now. Assat is a solid team, they have won 2 previous meetings with Lukko this season with a goal difference of 7-0. They are on 5th place in standings and still have a chance to reach 4th place and get a home advantage for the 1st round of playoffs. Assat should be motivated today and i see clear value here.

[Dead Money]

Wow, that must be a winner Juuso, out of all the FL league games I picked one.

27-Feb-06 8:30am
28-Feb-06 Hockey
Spread Lukko vs Assat (-0.5) for Game +109


( I made that bet @ 12:30)

[adriano]

that's what i am scratching my head over at the moment...before the Olympiuc break, i was on a 4-0 run in the NHL total goals.
According to my calculations for today, over 36 -106 has a little bit more value than the under. I think i'll pass today.

2-0 Ässät

They took a lot of penalties tonight, but were clearly the better side. A nice away win for them. Capping the NHL games now. Nothing too interesting in NBA for the night, so will play a couple of Hockey bets.

[juuso]

Toronto Maple Leafs -1.5 +142 / 2 units
Florida Panthers ML +186 / 2 units
Vancouver Canucks ML +180 / 2 units

[Razz]

1* Florida Panthers +200

[Surefire]

Detroit +135
Montreal +110

[onlooker]

Careful tonight guys, a lot of Olympic players arent playing tonight. 5 Red Wing players from the Sweden team wont be playing tonight, that is why the line looks so good.

Im passing tonight, and probably for the whole week until the Olympic players get back into the swing of things for their teams.

[onlooker]

Injuries or just plan tired.

Montreal @ NY Islanders
NYI-D-Zhitnik-Questionable

Washington @ Toronto
WAS-F-Ovechkin-Questionable
TOR-C-Sundin-Questionable

Florida @ Tampa Bay
(fatigued or injured players from Olympics)
FLA-G-Luongo-Questionable
TB-D-Kubina-Probable

Vancouver @ Calgary
(fatigued or injured players from Olympics)
VAN-D-Salo-OUT, D-Ohlund-OUT

Minnesota @ Colorado
(fatigued or injured players from Olympics)
COL-C-Turgeon-Probable

Detroit @ San Jose
(fatigued or injured players from Olympics)
Detroit''s Olympic players are out

[Surefire]

Probably a smart call. But damn, I missed the NHL.

[onlooker]

Probably a smart call. But damn, I missed the NHL.

So have I, but if Im losing value because these guys are playing or playing under a 100%. Then I will wait a week to see how things go.

Good luck tonight Surefire.

Great advice looker. I plan on waiting until the weekend to start betting pucks again.

[imgv94]

Any Opinions on my 3 unit under 36 bet??

Also Onlooker juice was -102 OK?

[adriano]

i like it at the moment img. gl. was going to play the under but was a few minutes late...

[onlooker]

Ok, got it. Good luck with your plays tonight.

[imgv94]

7-0 Florida is killing me.

[adriano]

all the games are against you so far img. looks like over 36 now. my initial thoughts were on that.

[imgv94]

If I can get one game to be 1-1 or 2-0 or lower I can win this bet.

20 goals so far.

[adriano]

also i noticed for a whole week before the olympic break the away goals spread and the ml on 3 or 4 occasions won. today away teams lead +13 goals so far. the spread for away goals was +4 and the ml +275...

[adriano]

22 goals now...not a chance imo. should have passed like onlooker advised.

[imgv94]

i quit hockey.. 22 goals.

[onlooker]

Figures Montreal is winning, them and the Wings were the two I liked today. With all the players out for Detroit, I passed on them.

[adriano]

i will help you out in the following days. i am hitting the total goals pretty damn good. last 5 days before the break posted them here, went 4-0.

I know you did. I remember pointing that out, in a thread.

[Winston Smith]

1* Florida Panthers +200

That was quite a call, Razz.

[juuso]

Nice price you got for florida Razz. All the odds in the nhl games went up a bit during few hours after i took them, but can't complain. Only Toronto let me down. Florida was amazing and Vancouver won rather luckily behind a monster performance from Alex Auld on goal. But i'll take it

[juuso]

i quit hockey.. 22 goals.

Don't quit buddy. The other two of your picks were really solid. These kind of totals can be damn tricky at times.

[adriano]

good day in pucks Juuso. i will start rocking the total goals very soon.

[juuso]

Thanks Adriano. I've really got into pucks again after a little break. Inspired by the Olympics, lol. Let's make some cash with NHL.
