Im going ALL in on Pit/Phi OVER (what ever they post) for game 5

[Rich Boy]

This is the craziest series in NHL history. Books are terrified of the total on this coming game 5.

I will pound the over on any line they fkn post I dont give a shit. Will probably cover in the 1st period.

[nammertl]

Besides the game and first period totals, I find that the Team Totals as well and there's not as much juice. I would spread it out that way.

[Ethan1122]

I went Flyers TT which I need one more for, Over, and 1st. 2 out of 3 so far ain't bad.

[Sport_Fish]

I would not be surprised if they go all the way to 7.5 in the next one - and even then, its a solid play.

13 goals and the Flyers haven't covered the TT yet

Lol I know this is pretty sad.

[LT Profits]

I think total will be 7 o20

[Checkerboard]

steelers 10 eagles 3

Hell of a field goal, but the Steelers offense was unstoppable.

[hockey216]

over 1st period better. its 1.5 every game and weve all been killing it. there was 7 goals in 1st period tonight.

[DennisGreen]

1st period over FTW. 4, 4, 6 and 7 so far in the 1st Have never seen anything over 1.5 in my life. Even if it's -175 pound that bitch.

[thetrinity]

as you know by now, books dont like making drastic moves, i think you either see 6.5 with big juice or 7 -110, no way they are going to give out plus money on the over. actually think 6.5 with big juice is more likely.

[RunningMan7]

Teams, even those clueless on defense such as the Pens and Philly, will adjust to offenses as a series goes longer. Still, I too expect a 6.5 with big juice or 7.5 at most.

I hate to pick just one game for an over to go all out on what could be a 4-2(you never know, there is usually one low scoring game in almost every series. yes 4-2 is considered low scoring in the context of this series) . But after the first two games, if someone wanted to go on the over, they should have bet big on each game starting with Game 3 and make a net profit on the series by going over each game as it was clear in Gmae 2 that each game would have a lot of offense.

Still, not bad to go over on a medium sized bet especially if it is 7 or less. even 7.5 is not a terrible bet as I can see a 5-3 game just as easily.

Opened 7 flat (-104 at Pinny, -110 everywhere else)

Might pass, as much scoring as there's been, piT may want to really change things up and play some def. I can't hope for 8 goals. What's the highest line for over in last few years? This at 7?

[PuckIt]

I wonder if we will see an O2 for 1st period or just extra juice on the O1.5. Either way I will pound that.

Yes this ties the highest total I've seen and I only saw 7 once during the regular season (think it was Tampa Bay vs. Washington a few years ago).

Don't see it going to 2. It never did back in the day when the Caps had 6.5 and 7 totals each game. It's like the unwritten law of hockey betting I think, always 1.5. The bookies only choice is to juice the shit outta it and hope people either lay off or it does the unthinkable and goes under.

[Rich Boy]

Total was around what I expected. Seems like a trap but neither goalie has ANY confidence. I cant see how this stays under, but this is hockey any crazy nonsense can happen.

Still like the over 7

Cause crazy nonsense stuff never happens in any other sport, right?

Seriously, anyone who bet on the 6.5 should bet on the 7 as well as they're basically the same bet except you get a push on the latter. It really makes no sense to be debating this when so many people were obviously pounding the 6.5 when it came out. Now if it was 7.5...that would be cause for some reflection. But I consider a 7 the same as a 6.5 in terms of risk.

well said

[Rich Boy]

Basically the same bet huh? lol

[bhattman]

you have to figure eventually these goalies will get their shit together...that is..in the summertime. until then folks, O 7.0 it is, and O 1.5...2-1 juice is not even bad considering both goalies cant save a beach ball for their lives right now

[Gamble32jn]

im firing OVER in every way here. I dont see any let up. Pens have to go all out here to get back in the race. If pens win here then maybe...just maybe the next game might...key word--MIGHT go under.

Game means everything to Pens here...they dont win they dont progress....they dont keep scoring then they dont get a shot at winning the series.

It aint over till its over and for our sake we all need to pull for the Pens here so we can BANK off the next game.

[RunningMan7]

If you think this series will go to Game 6, then bet big on the over because you got two games to go over and will hit on at least one, most probably.

THe thing is to visualize what could happen if Philly is leading. Will Pittsburgh get demoralized like they did in Game 7 against Montreal 2 years ago or TB last year(without their stars) and lay an offensive egg? Then again, Philly is a much more offensive minded club and so even if Pittsburgh is getting beat, I can see Philly piling on the goals instead of mere boring defensive hockey as this version of the pEns will keep abandoning more of their defensive responsibilities to get a desperate goal. So a Philly 5-2 or 6-3 win is very probable in case Pittsburgh is unable to muster any goals and in which case you push. I just can't see a 3-2 type win unless the game is very low scoring in the first two periods.

If Pittsburgh wins, I see a 5-3 type win. If Philly wins, i see a 6-3 or 5-2 type win. At this point, who the **** knows with the goalies playing so badly. Fleury and Brygalov are capable of limiting the other team to a single goal. Whether that happens in this game is anyone's guess.

You also have to consider if Pittsburgh is capable of fixing their penalty kill. It has been atrocious all series long.

[hockey216]

im pounding 01.5 1st period.

[Ethan1122]

I'm on Over for the game, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd periods.

[Gamble32jn]

[Gamble32jn]

Is it just me but if this game dont reach over 7 and the TT go over Im gonna say this Forum gets turned upside down with A LOT of pissed off people...LOL

[Rich Boy]

Lets get a summary of bets here boys

Over 7 -120
Over 1.5 1st period -175
Over 1.5 2nd Period -290
Over 1.5 3rd Period -290

[Rich Boy]
