Vancouver Killing It Tonight

i think a better bet for tonight would be the los angeles game. hot team facing a team riddled with injuries while canucks are facing a much more improved anaheim. the LA game is being offered at much lower juice as well.

anaheim a scary team right now. only bet i'm looking at is over.

I like LA Kings as well

canucks are -220. try to avoid heavy juice bets like that.

LA Kings are a good team, but they have a tough time scoring. And right now Jonathan Quick is listed as "questionable". make sure quick starts tonight before you play it. Quick is great. Bernier not so much. With quick its an ok play. i wouldn't lay -130 with their sh*tty backup goalie though. Get an update on Quick.

anh plays van fairly well too. im on the ducks.

bernier isn't as good but he did win with a 2-0 shutout last time around in edmonton.

anyone who makes picks with that much juice in hockey should quit, your guaranteed to lose money

I'm not telling you to play it, but odds tell you that Vancouver wins. Anaheim are hot, but against sub par teams with the majority of those wins coming at home. Add to the fact that Ducks are an absolutely horrible road team.

Nothing wrong with betting big on heavy favorites, as long as you pay attention to a few key trends.

I bet big on St Lou yesterday so I'll be staying away from this one. Can't take the stress two days in a row.

you cam bet the puck line on vanc or -141 to win in regulation

This is why you do not lay chalk. Math and Stats are your friends.

Also, when DennisGreen is not on the canucks, you should seriously ask yourself why and most likely lay off.

best time to play Vancouver is when they play the best teams in the league like against Boston last week or pound them against the Hawks on Jan 31st (yes i circled that game lol) and avoid them when playing teams like the Ducks tonight

its not a bad idea to take 2 to 1 on your money, when a team wins half the time it plays another team.

nick86 · 01-16-12, 03:03 AM

nothing wrong with betting juicy lines as long as you have a decent sized bankroll to take a hit or two and most importantly you know what you're doing.

this is why you avoid high chalk in hockey. hockey is more unpredictable than baseball. goaltending and penalties are big x factors.
