this hockey pick cant lose

[hillardoh]

i found a sportsbook that has nhl prop bets to bet on if both teams score in the game. i was shocked to see this kind of bet. Because some one could really clean up during the nhl playoffs. you are are laying high odds like between -600 to -700 for to this happen. last years playoffs only 17% of the games played where only one team scored. i figure if i play every hockey game during the playoffs with bets all the same amount i will be up serious money. let me know what u guys think

Um if I'm thinking straight(just woke up), a -700 bet needs to win 87.5% of the time to break even. If it only wins 83% of the time you will lose, not to mention this is a worthless bet.

Yeah you're right^^

To simply this:

100 BETS - 83 WINS - 17 LOSSES.

83 UNITS WON
17 x 7 losses = 119 UNITS LOSS.

36 UNITS LOST.

I saw this bet once, I thought about it and then the game went 1-0. Never considered it again, but yeah, as the math shows...that's a sucker bet. Just look at yesterday, you had a 1 in 7 chance of losing at -700. Wednesday 33% of all games ended with one team not scoring.

yeah just not thinking correctly however im still looking at the playoffs as a good place to win
