Nicky - Question about the Canadiens

**Nicky Santoro** · 01-15-09, 06:10 PM

yes

I got em at -175 this morning. .still a good bet at -190.. this team is great at home too (14-4) and NASH sucks on road. Habs are still underpriced.. they should be -230... you can't go wrong betting habs this season. they are a team with no superstars at all, just a bunch on unknowns who play like Stanley Cup Champs. And dont be surprised to see them carry the CUP in June. They are that good.

**Immortality** · 01-15-09, 06:14 PM

I was leaning towards taking the Canadiens either -1

or -0.5 regulation only. Both lines are -120.

**Nicky Santoro** · 01-15-09, 06:21 PM

immer, i really never liked giving out picks to posters. .what if habs lose 3-2 tonight.. i will feel like shit that you made this pick and lost money on acct of my opinion. even though it's a great bet for me, it can still lose. it's 1 game only.. anything can happen in 1 game. i like my chances, but bottom line is, it's still 1 game, and i dont want to feel responsible if it loses. just bet small on it, OR just follow it as a fan, and this way, win or lose, i only feel bad for losing my money. that is why i have NEVER given out a pick in my 10 yrs in forums.. i just dont like it.

i dont know how guys like richie keeps doing this and not apologizing to posters when they tag along and lose their money? richie, don't you feel bad after? richie, i dont know how you do it..

**Immortality** · 01-15-09, 06:26 PM

No worries. I was not playing the moneyline anyways. Like I said I was just curious if you still saw value in the line or had the linesmaker maybe caught up.

I went with the Habs to win in regulation at -120. Lets cash this game.

**bigboydan** · 01-15-09, 06:27 PM

What about the puckline though Mr.Nicky. Do you see value in it?

i really dont bet the puckline, unless i see something that stands out a lot, not in this situation. danny, you saying you are going to be on my side tonight and not against me like usual? i'm worried you might jinx me tonight if you are on same side.

anywys, you cant get less than -200 anywhere now.. line is shooting up on habs. . it's -210 at pinny now. line has gone up 40 cents from this morning.

I actually passed on the game, however believe it or not I was considering them on the puckline though. I just felt -200+ was a little more than I wanted to give was all. That's what I get for waiting.

-190 tonight and climbing. Is there still value in them tonight?

if you did get it at -190, you did good. win or lose, you got yourself a good line here.

it's -235 in some places now, and -222 at pinny.. i guess my -175 is pretty good right now.. even if you got it at -190, you did great. line is still climbing like crazy.

I did say that line should be -230 and it's just about there now..

I know it is crazy the way it is still climbing. Can still get -210 at 5Dimes though.

-240 at WSEX

**tullamore** · 01-15-09, 09:32 PM

Nicky, how much do the Habs miss Streit, he was the key to the PP last year?

not at all. we are much better without him. we're having a much better year than last year. this team is much stronger than last years..

**Immortality** · 01-15-09, 09:39 PM

3-2. I just got home so now I can watch the end.

**Nicky Santoro** · 01-15-09, 10:03 PM

habs 3-2 final.

**bigboydan** · 01-15-09, 10:04 PM

Good thing I didn't bet the puckline Mr.Nicky.

Oh Danny Boy

I would of felt bad for you if you took the puckline. Did you see the end of the game?

Canadien players missed no shit like 5 wide open net shots when Nashville pulled their goalie. Would of been a brutal beat

danny i was thinking about you in the last 1 min 29 when they pulled the goalie. i swear danny, if you would have had -1.5 and you saw this game, you would have had a heart attack.. if i tell you the open nets that were missed by the habs, you would not believe me. i wish you can somehow see the last 1 min 29 again. unreal.. must've been like 6 open net shots from 24 feet out that they missed..you woudl have collapsed had you had -1.5 and saw it live.

thankfully you didnt do it.. you would have not slept tonight.. most chances missed at an empty netter in a game that i have seen in quite some time. Thank GOD you didn't do this tonight.. you owe me.. maybe if i woudl have told you there is great value in the puck line, you might have done it, who knows? you owe me danny.. but you should have at least bet the game like me.. i wish you did. oh well, at least you saved on the -1.5.. good job.

**bigboydan** · 01-15-09, 10:14 PM

I caught the end of that game gentlemen. When they pulled the goalie I was like "and I didn't bet it, go figure". Oh well at least I saved some coin on the game. I'm thinking I'll take a break and hopefully this cold streak of mine will subside by tourney time when I jump back into the betting arena. I'll take the time off and refocus my efforts on a few projects I've been wanting to do for a while now.

We posted the same thing at the exact time. That puckline loss would of been brutal.

can you believe how they kept missing those shots at the yawning cage? i couldn't believe they kept missing those shots. i swear, even i could have scored those..

**TPowell** · 01-15-09, 10:21 PM

tough loss on this 1, need Dallas to hang on to split these 2. Still have Calgary later

I know. Could you imagine if after all those misses, Nashville had tied it up.
