    XKGB's HOCKEY THREAD

    OK GUYS...This is it...I am going to start my hockey handicapping thread in which i will ONLY post my BEST bets and as most of you call it my "LOCKS" of the day. I will be posting my updated record, complete with final results and the amount of units played (1 unit=$100)...Up to this point i am 15-0-1 in my "lock of the day" plays. I will post the complete rundown of my previous plays coupled with the links to the threads i had them posted for those who are new to this site, or need a cross reference to be able to feel comfortable tailing me in any of my future picks
    Originally, i did not have the intention of doing this, but have been asked by many of you to continue handicapping with one purpose only...$$$MAKING MONEY$$$
    I am NOT going to post multiple picks, leans or "possibles" in THIS THREAD...I WILL ONLY CONCENTRATE ON PICKING THE STRONGEST, MOST RELIABLE, AND STATISTICALLY SOUND GAME ON THE CARD THAT DAY
    With this many great handicappers and wealth of tools and information available to us on this site, i believe we can achieve the impossible..that is continuously come out on top of this money making game...GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!! AND LETS KEEP THIS MONEY TRAIN MOVING ALONG

    Keep the run going but do not feel pressured to post a play because of everyone breaking your balls.

    Best of luck moving forward

    ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE PLAYS ON TUESDAY: 3/8/2011

    1. NEW JERSEY(-0.5)AT HOME VS.OTTAWA
    (do not have the overnight lines from 5dimes on this game, but I am CERTAIN this is going to be as lopsided as ANY strong picks i ever gave you guys...Feel VERY STRONG this play is a money maker...regular ML on new jersey is(-250), even (PL) -1.5 is a ridiculous -105, considering New Jersey will outplay, outshot, outhit and dominate Ottawa at home after a days of rest and coming off 4 tough wins, 2 in a shootout over division leader Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh Penguins, Florida and NY Islanders...I would have jumped on -1.5 line, but am afraid even if they dominate Ottawa, one lucky break can bring this within a goal, because Devils style of play concentrates on playing "trap" defense first, and offense second..They totally depend on their defense to keep winning games for them, and will happily play in their own end THE WHOLE GAME, as long as they have a 2+ goal lead...My prediction is 3-0 Devils. But the name of my game is MAKING MONEY and ELIMINATING RISK...For that purpose I will recommend putting majority of your bankroll on Devils -0.5 in regulation, but if u feel ballzy (or have enough money to risk) i would throw 15-25% of your bank on Devils(-1.5) just to bump up your payout percentages...

    2. Under 5 in Nashville@San Jose(+105) (Key in this game is a fact that both teams, regardless of their record, ACTUALLY KNOW how to play "D", There are about 5 teams in NHL that play defense so well they seldom have to depend on scoring goals to dominate their opponents, and in this one, two of these top defensive teams square off against each other...The other 3 defensive teams that depend on their "D" rather then offense are New Jersey, Boston and Minnesota, so whenever u see a combination of any of these playing each other, its a Christmas come early Of course u can argue that Pittsburgh, Washington, Montreal, Vancouver and a couple of other teams, ALSO know how to play great defenses, the difference here? THEY CAN ALSO SCORE AT ANY TIME, making it harder to predict whether or not they are going to explode on any given night, soooo......Im putting it down as my second of the afternoon


    NOW HERE IS A MONEY MANAGMENT KICKER GUYS... these 2 games start and finish perfectly one after another....So if u go heavy on the first game, u have the option of BETTING on the night game in San Jose withouht having to risk putting the whole roll on the parlay, or waiting to collect the money from jersey's game and only playing with winnings
    BOL in watever u decide... I TRULY BELIEVE I HAVE 2 WINNERS HERE, BUT IF I HAD TO PICK ONE I WOULD LAY HEAVIER ON THE DEVILS...i AM GOING TO PLAY SAN JOSE'S UNDER WITH ONLY THE WINNINGS FROM THE NEW JERSEYS GAME(FOR BETTER BANKROLL MANAGMENT) GL EVRYBODY

    Fuk i had a write up, and it gets erased, ar, darn...Here i go again, short
    i like two games today
    1.Washington(-0.5)(-164)at home vs Edmonton
    2. over 5.5 in Atlanta/carolina game(-115)

    other strong contenders(leans only)....over 5.5 St.louis/columbus....Rangers to beat anaheim(probably under too)...if u like pucklines then Chi+1.5(-305)/tampa bay+1.5(-305 as well) is a solid bet(these two are very evenly matched, and only reason chicago is underdog here because they play in Tampa, and chicago just played and lost last night) Like the over in this game as well
    Last edited by xkgb; 03-09-11 at 04:59 PM. Reason: put odds for chi/tampa PL

    u do the same.....ill be checking my email at work...You guys do the same, this way we can actually come to the agreement one one THE BEST PLAY....That would be the game ill bet majority on...just like in my picks, i usually bet the top(stronger of the two) more then i do the followups, but this way if ALL HEADS AGREE on one game?....probably a good sign...or a TRAP
