Cotes Sports Picks

[cotes17]

Thinking Hurricane as the play for tonight. I like the way they have picked up their game lately, and Ward is rested. Under might even be a play. Juice is pretty high on it though.

Was actually just placing my bet on canes! Ward has been lights out lately so riding him at home tonight

[cotes17]

Canes ml -108 $108 to win $100

[mickjam42]

Easy win, excellent call. I had a hunch, but it is always better to have it verified by you.

Under would have come in too, but it did not seem like a value play. At -135 you would need to win 57.4% of the time, and I think we all know that is not sustainable.

The longer I am involved in wagering the more I realize that is how to turn a long-term profit. It is not about one game, or even one season. Find value, go with it, and stick to the plan.

Wow Cotesy.
Nice job lately bud!
I really need to stick to nhl and hoops.
Football been horrible with bad beats.
Utah +17 was the latest one...dummy play of the season in 2nd quarter and down 3 with 10 to go and didn't even cover.

Thanks man! Yeah nhl has been the best to me so far this year. I had Eagles last night so got a nice one there but I definately do better in nhl

[RollinDo]

I had Eagles -3 / Utah +17 in a teaser....shoulda won, but Utah couldn't cover on Sat. down just 3 with 10 min. to go.
Went to bed thinking they had a chance to win and saw they lost by 24...sick

That's shiiiity

[cotes17]

Anything you guys liking today? Liking pens with his they've been killing it lately, out scoring opponents 32-8 during 7 game win streak. Hard to bet against that. My habs have been pretty solid lately too so still liking them. Also leaning towards minny and Dallas

[RollinDo]

That's shiiiity

To make matters worse, shoulda been a win for Utah...jag this not happened. You hear about this?

Well as long as I don't bet directly directly on Habs, they seem to do well. LOL
I bet on the TT (U 2.5) for Minny last game.
Going with TT (U 2.5) for Winny this time.
Also like Stars and the Under in Phoenix.
TB worth a shot.

[RollinDo]

I know you don't play totals, but goodness gotta take a chance with Under 5 in Vancouver at +130.

[RollinDo]

Still not playing many sides...don't like the lines much on faves, don't bet against Hawks at home, 0-4 betting on Habs, Nashville not on road as a doggie, Vancouver back from road trip.

ill say it again, but if you notice, on tuesdays alot of underdogs win...
my picks for today.. ( already played) ...
avs --> isles of decent road trip.. let down.. line already moving
rangers --> two huge let down games.. will show up vs pitts
sharks -1
and jackets --> i dont like the injuries with the jackets, but they can still score, and caps are really 2 headed this year. worth a shot (2.75odds is decent)
stars --> 7 losses in a row and dogs vs arizona who arent the best of teams.

i was liking wild, but damn this team is different without parise. but jersey did play yesterday as well.

[amarius87]

the line on the avs has gone from 2.30 to 2.10 from this morning.

[mickjam42]

- Minny is a solid play, Jersey is beat up and cannot generate offense.
- Pitt and Under.
- I know you don't want to hear this Cotes, but Jets are a solid team that play really well on the road.
- Nucks back off a road swing, they might be weak @ home vs Ottawa, who is a decent road team. Possibly an Under play as well.
- Last but not least: Buffalo at +338? Worth a bit of couch change. Blues have not been dominant at home, and Neuvirth is playing really well.

[cotes17]

I know you don't play totals, but goodness gotta take a chance with Under 5 in Vancouver at +130.

Yeah I don't know man, totals always seem to screw me, especially the unders. If your playing Canucks under, I better stay away if you want to win lol

Good info! Yeah hard to take minny without parise but there good odds for them so it's a tough call. Hope the stars pull it off for us. As for the pens, they've just been dominating so I can't go against them tonight

Everyone we say Buffalo is worth a shot, the win so fukk it might as well take a shot lol I have a hard time taking them though. I have faith in my habs tonight!!

Why Under in Pitt game?
I'm not too fond of playing either team on the Under this season...Pens are 4-2 on the Over on road and Rangers with 5 home Overs already.

[eddycash]

i like the habs under today

[cotes17]

I'm staying away from the totals today. If you guys want a shot at winning, I better not follow on any lol

[cotes17]

Today

Wild ml -123 $123 to win $100
Pens -1 +130 $100 to win $130
Habs ml +123 $100 to win $123
Stars ml -110 $110 to win $100

[RollinDo]

i like the habs under today

I like the Under too, but playing Winnipeg TT (U 2.5)
Price has been right vs Jets in career...and Winnipeg not scoring a whole lot lately.
If Jets win though, think it's a 3-2 final.
Think it will be 3-1 Habs.

HABS TRADE: Travis moen to stars for Sergeu Gonchar

.
Always liked Moen, but he was an expendable and expensive 4th liner. Gonchar is 40 years old, and 5 million, but is in the final year, and Stars eat a bit of the contract.

Maybe he can chip in a bit on the PP.

[mickjam42]

Why Under in Pitt game?

Because Pitt is 2nd in league in fewest goals allowed, and King Henry turns it up against Pitt. Nine goals allowed in five games last year's playoffs, 4 of them in one game.

Still, bit of a coin toss, you're right. Pitt could easily light it up, they are on fire.

[mickjam42]

Today

Wild ml -123 $123 to win $100
Pens -1 +130 $100 to win $130
Habs ml +123 $100 to win $123
Stars ml -110 $110 to win $100

I think you mean Habs -1 @ +123

Yeah they won't keep Gonchar after this year. I think it was more like you said, to get rid of moen who was pretty pricy to be on the 4th line. Him and prust are quite similar but prust works a lot harder I find

[cotes17]

Yes I do thanks mick

My bet is habs -1 +123 $100 to win $123

Yeah that's the only reason I would never take an under in a pens game. At any point they can score 4 or 5 goals themselves. Not to mention in the 7 game win streak they've outscored opponents by a ton

[cotes17]

Pens -1 not looking so hot...

[mickjam42]

Still, a positive day.

I could not pull the trigger on Habs. Bad move, they played solid. Well, Price did anyway. Best goalie in the league, no doubt.

Hands down best goalie. He saved their ass las night. If he keeps playing like this, he will be looking at a vezna IMO
