    Duncan's NHL Value Plays

    I'm testing out a value play system based on AccuScore's predictions. This is basically just to keep a record. If it doesn't work I'll shut up but if it does, then great! I would recommend not tailing these right now. Money I'm using for this is fake. For now.

    For starters I'll play everything to win 1 unit. If it looks like it's working I'll adjust it to get the most value out of each play.

    Bolded play = best value

    Starting bankroll = $2000
    1 unit = $100

    10/29 Plays:

    Anaheim +100; 1u to win 1u
    Pitt -135; 1.35u tw 1u
    NYI -125; 1.25u tw 1u

    Daily Total: $360 to win $300

    Yeah I was trying to figure that out but really have no idea. I'm very skeptical about accuscore's prediction on that but I'm just playing a system.

    Can anyone see any reason why the Ducks ML is so big... Are there any significant injuries or anything???

    Why don't you guys just leave this game alone? It looks fishy as hell...

    Believe me, JC. If I was really betting, I'd stay way away from this game. I'm just posting the system plays as is for now. If it seems like it's working, I'll take a more dynamic approach and step back from games like this.

    Dang, 0-2 on my first 2 games and it's looking like I may be 0-3 on the day.

    Not giving up over 1 bad day, though. We'll be back tomorrow.

    10/30:

    Capitals -110
    Predators +145
    Sharks -210
    Thrashers +185
    Rangers +130

    According to my value system, Atlanta's line should be +140, which gives it the best value. I like the Capitals play 2nd most, though.

    All plays are to win 1 unit

    Daily total: Risking $519.94 to win $500

    Damn! Thrashers threw that game away. Oh well, it was still a good value play. Obviously it was a lot closer than Vegas expected and worth more than the +185 they were giving.

    I got the Rangers but lost the Predators. Caps are down 1 and Sharks are up 2.

    If things stand as is I'll be 2-3 on the day with a loss of $33.02. If anything changes I'll update it.

    That's 2-6, -3.9u on the year. It's still too early to call this in as it's a long term approach.

    WTF?! Caps score 6 in 2nd period??

    Sharks scored 2 more to lead 4-0. I'm feeling pretty good about these two games now. But crazier things have happened, I guess.

    Well that would change today's record to be (if the scores hold):

    3-2, +$176.98

    Overall:

    3-5, -1.8 units

    Have a happy halloween!!

    Holy cow! Canucks are up to -190 in 5Dimes now. Glad I got it in early. No good value above -170.

    I don't think I'll be playing anything on Tuesday. Closest play there is would be Edmonton +130 since I valued the line at +110, but I usually look for a bigger advantage than that.

    We have to be patient.

    Big card today:

    Caps -215
    Canes -150
    Wings -115
    Predators +115

    All to win 1 unit

    Daily total: $566.96 to win $400

    I know -215 is a big line but they should be an easy winner here. I think the Puckline of +135 has some good value too if you don't want to risk so much.

    AccuScore predicts Carolina winning 68% of the time, which would imply a line of -215 or so. That gives the Hurricanes the "best bet of the day" award. BOL!

    Anaheim is a terrible bet.

    Wings and Canes also very risky...good chance to lose.

    You may be right, but I'm just playing based on what AccuScore predicts for the odds of winning.

    I'm going to try to change up the units now, based on the strength of the value.

    Plays today:

    Panthers -135 (to win 1 unit)
    Ducks +115 (to win 1.5 units)
    Caps -130 (to win 2 units)

    I'm merely basing all my plays off AccuScore's predictions. They give Caps a 65.8% chance of winning, which would imply the line should be more like -190 (and thus, a line of -130 has a lot of value). Is AccuScore correct in this prediction? I have no idea, but I thought I would see if it's a profitable system to follow.
