Yeah, it was an ok night. I got Red Wings +175 in that parlay and it closed +155 - +160ish so I feel ok. Better than losing 5 or 6u just on a straight up Red Wings play. Lost in bases. Won in UFC with some parlays and cashed Grant and Pyle as dogs. Drunk and happy, living the good life

Nice

Me = Drunk as well.....

Happy about the day...but wish somebody had shown me the light in the UFC (I currently do not bet there).....I love extra $$$

Yeah, I had a few dog plays on this card and a few chalk parlays. I told some people in poker that I liked Grant and Pyle. Think I told Bigday in Daimo's fade thread to hit Pyle or Payan. Pyle stole a decision and apparently Payan's blood was what we all saw all over the canvas

Lol, nice. What are you thinking in the East now? There should be a ton of value in Boston....I think they can win it, but I might wait for Pitt to take Game 1 and then hit it hard...thoughts?

Had no idea you bet MMA, Nino.

Definitely my forte (If I even had one).

Pyle wasn't a robbery per-se, just a razor close decision that he managed to steal due to awful judging inconsistencies.

Lots of guys in the MMA sub-forum won big on Grant, me as well.

I disagree on there being a ton of value on Boston now. I threw a unit on Boston to win the East at +400 at the beginning of the playoffs. Seeing as how they are +400 to win the Cup at the moment (5 Dimes), I am not going to personally get a better value on the B's. I liked Pittsburgh to get to the Cup at the beginning of the Playoffs and nothing has really changed my mind. Rask is playing decent but not well enough to carry the Bruins in a 7 game series. The Bruins turn the puck over too much and their previous opponents have been too offensively inept to take advantage of the mistakes. If the Bruins take a bunch of penalties, the Penguins will punish them with their power play. I also see their defensemen getting exposed. Pens in 5 or 6.

If you like the B's to win the East, wait until Game 2 or 3. I can easily see them down 2-0 to start with. The Penguins owned them all season long, winning all three matchups. They have the skill edge and the mental edge already.

Yep, big MMA fan here. Share some opinions from time to time and when asked. Been a lot of chalk heavy cards and chalk winners lately.

Yeah, the Pyle and Bermudez fights were both close but I had the loser winning both decisions.

I know it's been home cooking all series long, but the Kings are just the better team. San Jose has a rep for choking. Kings smell blood, I think they close it out in a tight one 2-1.

Yep, but Sharks needed a 5 on 3 (with one guy who had a broken stick) to score. Kings have 3 posts already.

I feel incredibly fortunate to still be up 1-0. If it juicy enough considering taking la during intermission cause u right they could easily have 2-3 goals..

If it loses it loses but hell I'm 5-0 in this series so far so no need backing out now, lol.

Getting dominated and score...

Your boys ate their stupid pills. Can't take this many penalties and expect to win on the road.

Dont worry ur squad be fine once they get back to la.. This will go down as 1 of my fav series ever if home ice holds true for all 7, not often does something look so obvious from the jump and actually play out that way!

**mdunlap3** · 05-26-13, 08:49 PM

Kings +350 live dog right now...so enticing

**Russian Rocket** · 05-26-13, 09:50 PM

took Sharks series at +295 before the game...will see what Tue game brings...can't wait.

**El Nino** · 05-26-13, 09:51 PM

1-1 -0.8u

Cash the +120 total. That's 5 out of 6 games there have been 3 goals or less, public must be blindly betting the overs

I still feel like LA was the correct play. The Kings were pressuring and even with all the penalties in the first 2 periods, were all over the post. Niemi made same fantastic saves and had to be brilliant and have some luck.

YTD
135-123-2 +35.41u

Playoff Record
32-38 +6.39u

I said Sharks in 7 for DG's playoff contest. I don't see the Kings losing at home though.
