Big Dog NHL 2011-12

[bombCanada]

Hi again, guys. You may recall a thread last season (click here) in which we had a pretty good time winning $$ betting on the biggest dog of the day. There were also discussions of money management and variations on the dog theme brought to us by a fella named rkelly110. Pretty enjoyable and profitable stuff.

I'm going to start this and hope we can keep it going through the season.

The rules are so simple a caveman could run the system:
1) if there are fewer than 4 games on any given day, take the day off
2) bet the biggest dog of the day on the +1.5 puckline

There's a rub, of course, which is the +PL is always a juicy bet. If you're religiously opposed to juice, this isn't for you. If you can handle the juice, you'll love this. I quit playing 3 weeks before the end of the regular season at 64-39. The system ended the season at 71-50. It tended to be kind of streaky... There were several losing streaks of 3 or 4 games. OTOH there were several very long winning streaks. Needless to say, money management is key.

So follow along and have some fun. We'll get started on Oct 7, because the first day of the season there are only 3 games.

See you then!

Dogs were barking in preseason yesterday. Columbus -100 won SU, Toronto +160 won SU,
Edmonton +114 won SU, Pitt -111 won SU as did Nashville -111 and LA -105. 6-2 on dogs.

NY Islanders, if my book had +PL, would have been a winner on the Biggest dog at +170.

If preseason is any indication of our success, it looks good.

Welcome back! I'll take it all as a good sign.

You made like 300 Units in the first month of the baseball season, blindly playing all heavy underdogs regardless of the team..That was awesome...I wonder if it will work in hockey..
Have you done this NHL before???

[stickbit]

BC - thanks for starting this up! Very excited about NHL to begin. Hey can you share how you do your labby lines? Do you do a separate line for each team? Thanks in advance.

This sounds amazing. I'm in.

Hey guys, thanks for checking in! Today is the first day of the season, but as there are only 3 games, there is no play.

See you tomorrow!

Can't wait to see the outcome of this system, if I recall it worked really well.. Hopefully you'll have as much luck as last season good luck to you

Thanks man. You're right, if I'd started at the beginning and played to the end, I'd have been a very happy boy. As it was, I learned a ton and am looking forward to this season. The only thing to keep in mind is don't get sucked in by win streaks (there was a streak of 10!!! at the beginning of the season) and start betting big... because a losing streak will follow and wipe you out. This is a slow and steady grind.

Ewww! Not liking the the dog odds on the PL. Maybe they're on to us, BC.

[stickbit]

I think they remember last year, where for the first month or so dogs ruled the league. Things should settle down.
