1....NYR
3....Col
5....Pho
7....Cal

Now I need to figure what to ride and how much gas I need to put in each tank. Phoenix is the gem. I think. Advice is surely welcomed.

[AdaBarber]

Oh, no. Little man is here next to me. I thought the night was done. They are still knotted up in OT?

[AdaBarber]

Too late. San Jose 6-5. Good game. Detroit has been hot.

[AdaBarber]

TA, do u know the record for the faves and dogs shown on Saturday Yahoo Games? I wonder does that have any bearing on the game itself like Monday Night Football does on a NFL game and its teams.

Off the top of my head I have to say no I don't (sorry). Some will tell you this is "bunk" but I believe books and or locals want close to a fifty-fifty split money wagered split (not number of people), that way one side pays the other while they get a cut off the top. Being the fav or dog on a small sample like that isn't worth putting much stock into. This is like the horse who has never won or finished above tenth in his career and goes to post thinking they can win - meaning the odds have little effect on what the performers do.

Saturday's action went 4-2-0 and was +$75.

Record for January is 48-24-0.
Money for January is +$11,683.

Overall season to date record is 188-173-2.
Overall money to date is +$37,436.

Sunday's action will be listed later.

Don't be sorry. I told you I am going to learn this sport. I was just brainstorming ideas for my system. I already like the takeaway and giveaway aspect. It's like turnovers in football. And that matters a great deal in football. So I am imagining the whole game as a football game.

Personally, from playing hockey (I've played for 14 years, and at good levels) team cohesion is they key. Not superstars.

As for game to game. Back-checking and special teams really determines the outcome of many games. Especially the way the rules in the NHL are now with more penalties being called.

Just something else you can watch.

[AdaBarber]

Thanks for the heads up Axis. Do they have stats for that and what makes of a hockey special team?

[Axis]

No there are no stats for back-checking. It's just determination. Back-checking is when a there is a turn over or change in possesion, the players skating back to there side of the rink to play defense. The best teams will instantly stop, and retreat to play defense, whereas you will see on the worse teams players just glide or don't skate full speed, which in turn allows the other team more chance to score.

Special teams is powerplay/penalty kill. And there are stats for that. You can find them at www.nhl.com or www.espn.com. basically any sports page will have them.

[AdaBarber]

Great info Axis. I was just reading the PP% and PK% yesterday while trying to research and cap the games. Good stuff. So it is really just like football? Just with skates and ice.

Good afternoon TA. I am on early. Trying to keep my mind at ease. Wife had to be admitted to hospital for hyper tension. Already suffers from it but was almost diagnosed with preclancia(spelling?). So I had to be a father real quick. That is why I was up all night. I can't sleep because I am afraid I won't hear my little dude. They won't release her until tomorrow pending her response to the magnesium sulfate. Powerful stuff. Just for using it puts you in critical condition. Scary!

Anyway, I did a little glance over on each game trying to see if I have some idea of what goes on in these games. I will be around. Had to change my outlet quick before I got to far up. They barely passed the test. Stupid me left one to go to this one because of the recommendation of one of my good friends. He coaches at the University of South Carolina Football. I figured he was on top of his game. Oh well. Always do your own research on anything, especially if it involves your salad.

Lets cash some pucks and maybe some pigskin.

4 ... VAN ... 350/200
7 ... CAL over 3 ... 525/500

[TodaysAction]

Axis,

How far up the rung did you make it? I topped out playing in and for Sault Ste Marie couldn't catch a break a few times to advance further. It happens. No worries. No regrets.

Good afternoon AdaBarber,

That ain't good news about your other half but it IS treatable. One dad to another, when you have a little one when they sleep, you need to as well. Until everybody gets adjusted to the new lifestyle. Time to head to the track shortly.

[Axis]

College Club. Had a chance to play junior B, but I choose to go to school instead. The NHL wasn't in my future, so school it was. Never regretted it, and loved every minute. I'll be playing on the club team again next year.

[playtowin123]

todaysaction, are you taking calgary ML tonight?

[AdaBarber]

Good to know TA. Go get em at da track.

[AdaBarber]

I guess I had Calgary pegged right.

[ploben]

Profitable night TA, good to see.

I hope your Calgary bet hits, I think it will be a good game with them coming out on top.

Is the over 3 only regulation or OT and SO?

[007Fatty]

hey adabarber you keep track of football right?? who you think is going to take it out of north and south?? thanks!

[AdaBarber]

Hay 007, how's the dude? Yeah, I do. What game are you speaking of. I live in the South and there are several of those games. Please elaborate or I will just check the schedule. If you are talking the college game, I always like the South. Up north is not football territory.

[AdaBarber]

But I will take a look to see who is playing and coaching. Never really followed those games. They always try to glamorize every player looking to move up in the draft. Everyone has a personal agenda in those games. All-Star games are unpredictable.

Axis,

Getting a formal education is a good thing. You get paper from `em? What position you lacing up for? BOL and know you'll enjoy it. Hope you remain injury free.

[TodaysAction]

playtowin123,

No, the action is on CAL to score 3 or more. Do I think they'll win, yes but the system of selection I use did not indicate a money-line ticket. GL the remainder of the season.

[007Fatty]

yeaa thanks adabarber i was talkin about college!=) they play this saturday. aand im just dandy gettin my bets a lot more than i used too hah how are you doingg?

[TodaysAction]

Profitable night TA, good to see.

ploben,

Thank you. Anytime there's profit, even if it's only $1, I'm happy.

So do I. After last night's game I fully expect them to be putting the heat on the entire game.

Includes OT and SO.

[TodaysAction]

Good to know TA. Go get em at da track.

AdaBarber,

Track was fun and had to sign. Was lucky in the 9th from Tampa's trifecta pool scoring with three $1 tickets plus a $20 win and place ticket. Time to get ready for tonight's ice action.

Good evening Alpinestars7,

Welcome to SBR. Thank you. Sorry your book doesn't have all the options I use and or do. For the N.H.L. I stay mostly with Greek, BookMaker and BetJamaica. I also deal with a couple locals. I have accounts with other books as well. Each book has their advantages and disadvantages. BOL the remainder of the season.

[pocketlint]

Not good so faaar....both VAN and CAL !!

I'm in the boat and it is sailing toward the ledge ....eeeeeks

Probably going to lose both N.H.L. wagers tonight. It happens. Sorry for your loses.

[ploben]

Yeah, tough night man. Not any better for me. Took a huge hit on BAL +7.5 in the NFL. Thought they would keep it close. Their first 2 possesions of the game hurt them. A TD and it woulda been like a 2 pt. game. Oh well.

Hit em hard tomorrow.

Go ARZ!
