Just Pounded the Stars

One thing I dont understand is how a game goes from -140 to -210 just because they "have to win"

Do books assume the opposing team will just lay down and give up a W?

Tampa, Detroit, and Minnesota all have come out playing hard, and all of them had nothing to play for.

What is the reason to move the line 70 cents, ill tell you why. Its to get all the suckers to bet on the favorite thinking its a lock and the only one who wins are the books.

Every sportsbook in the world is laughing at us right now, I feel like an idiot right now.

I've been trying to imply this for the last day or so.

god doesn't answer degenerate gamblers prayers. he has better things to do

[DennisGreen]

Still only 2 shots that whole period by the Stars. Unacceptable. Only goal was on a two man advantage too. Show me some good live hedge lines please Pinny

Good link it cheered me up somehow. That was Mark Crawford for sure at the last TV timeout.

I guess all us suckers are learning the hard way. I'd assume a lot of people that don't follow hockey (like me) are seeing these scenarios and unloading. It works in the NBA and NFL. The team that has to win almost always wins and wins easily. The other team usually just rests their starters and give up, or if it's an eliminated team like Minnesota they just play a bunch of scrub players and get blown out. Lesson learned to stay away from NHL. Next year I will just bet the over in these situations.

[DennisGreen]

Hmm almost a perfect hedge if I shove $1000 on the Wild at +136 LOL. Probably should just do it but I'm a degenerate

[DennisGreen]

Seems like a good idea to me, if it ends up in overtime Dallas will pull their goalie because a shootout win does nothing for them...

Yeah I probably should right now but I'm too much of a degen. Will give the Stars the 3rd to go for it. If it goes to OT I definitely will attempt to hedge it and cut my losses.

Let it ride out DG. The Stars got them right where they want them..

[Joweman]

He would have better things to do if he actually did anything or existed



Don't go for the hedge. . . the 3rd period will be their best they got all the nerves out and should be fired up to outwork the opposition

[Rich Boy]

Hard to stay positive when your in this spot.

If its meant to be, its meant to be...

[gohabsgo]

unreal, we're done now

[MCherry281]

Come on Dallas. I've got 15 minutes to get a goal. I took -0.5 -135 since I figured they will pull the goalie in OT and lose on an empty netter anyways. Now a power play for Minny

[MCherry281]

well my bet is dead now. 4-3 minn

[DennisGreen]

Holy fcuk like pull Lehtonen stars this guy is a choke artist. 4 goals on 21 shots. Put in Raycroft.

[lilb999]

How do these professionals on 3 different teams choke when they have the opportunity to get in against teams that have nothing to play for...UGH

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

For fukk sakes guys there still plenty of time..chill out.

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

Wowwww Ott could of buried that one there

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

Going to be a helluva last 7 minutes to this NHL regular season..

[MCherry281]

just about time to start dancing in chicago

[Rich Boy]

Dont think the Hawks will be too excited about this, backing into the playoffs. Bitter sweet spot for them.

[lilb999]

I only put $100 on it and am pissed lol

[DennisGreen]

Congrats on the playoffs Hawksuckers. You better send the Wild Christmas cards next year

[boondoggle]

i only had $250 on it so am lucky...thought about it putting $1k but didnt because my gut said they could choke...so I am thankful to only be losing $250.

[DennisGreen]

Canucks in 6 vs Hawks. Jamming my roll on Canucks to win series.

[Petenana15]

0-3 on must win games.. all hit over.. remember this for next year...

[DennisGreen]

...... and the Stars Pounded me. In response to my thread title.

Unbelievable that every must win game results in an epic fail. FML.
