NHL BEST BETS - Sat 3/10/2008

[xxx]

I will do a daily recap of each days action. 10 units is the max/game.

Sorry but i will not count parlays, only straight up selections.

unit size will be your win amount

to win 2u on +150; gain 2u if win, down 1.33u if loose.
to win 2u on -130; gain 2u if win, down 2.6u if loose.

good luck!

please let me know for any corrections and give me a line for the game it will make calculations easier for me

Welcome back hockey!

I second that, as well as seeing Icemantbi's avatar on a regular basis again!!

I'll be laying low the first month of the season. First and last months of NHL seem to get the better of me.

Senators -105
Pitt/Ott U6 +100

[tullamore]

Pit/Ott U 6 +105 for 1 unit.

5u ott-pit under 6 even

first game of the season, both teams will be carefull and study each other. i see a low scoring affair like 3-1 or 3-2 time of game.

xxx, I noticed that you changed the rules this year thus year to all bets being TO WIN one unit. Why not just go with the conventional method of betting TO WIN with favorites and RISK with underdogs?

[franckmtl]

Tampa Bay Lightning -105

Ottawa Senators -110

[WestsidePete]

NYR/TB under 5.5 -115 1 unit

as i explained in other thread i always bet to win money no matter what the line is. i would have liked to get more opinions on this. i realize this will be a little more work for me, but am set up to handle the load.

Guys that bet alot of dogs will prefer the old way of grading wagers, I like the new method, mainly because I play both dogs and favourites.

[cobra_king]

The simple way around it, and to help xxx at the same time for us underdog bettors is to just calculate the bet for him when we post it. In essence, that will allow us to use last years system, while xxx calculates it with this years system.

For example on a +120 dog just post it as:

Risking 5 units to win 6 on (insert team name here)


xxx doesn't have to pull out a calculator if we lose the bet,

and dog betters use the same method as last year.
