Cotes Sports Picks

Cotes, true prediction on Rams D. Who knew Cards D could be even more fearsome? No majors at all, whatta night for the under.

Always nice to go 50% and end up in positive territory, The power of positive juice.

Yeah too bad Unders didn't hit in nhl like in that nfl game.

Sorry guys was out last night so couldn't go online.

Ginandtonic: thanks got a bit lucky in OT to sneak out the win. Jackets were out shot bad the entire game. Bob saved it for them

Mick: I expected the Rams D to show up as they've been on fire the pas 2 weeks but didn't see the cards D playing as well as they did. Terrible game for my daily fantasy though lol picked quite a few Rams players and without any TDs being scored kind of hurts

Not many games tonight. So far in liking

Passing on pens game. They get letang and hornqvist back tonight but possible that Crosby isn't playing tonight

habs at home to beat the Kings who aren't very good on the road

Over in the ducks/oilers game

Over in the ducks/oilers game

Why Over in Ducks game? That was the only Under I liked other than Flames TT (Under 2.5).
They played a couple days ago and it was 2-1 final. You think it will change tonight? I believe in the last 15 or so, the Under has cashed about 70% of the time when these 2 meet...maybe I'll stay away - haven't done too well with game Unders lately, but much better on team total Unders.
Putting Habs +1 in a parlay with Spurs, Hawks, and Grizzlies in nba. Not a great payout, but still +110 or so.

Was liking the over just because ducks have been scoring quite a bit lately and the oilers have the potential to score. Anderson starting again tonight, I think like 15 or so games in a row now. Looking more into it, I see where the liking of the under came for you. Think I might pass on that one too

Well, I might "shoot for a total" on that one...meaning

Play Under 6 at -155 and then the Over 5.5 at +115. If it goes Under 6, I win very very little. If it hits 6, I get paid nicely.
We'll see. Some risk involved, but not gonna kill me.

This is a terrible card tonight. I hate the NHL schedule makers. Four games on a Friday night is ridiculous.

Juice on Habs is really high. Last time Kings were in town they spanked the Habs 6-0. Jones most likely starting, but he has been playing well. Habs just don't match well against Kings size and speed.

I think I might pass tonight. GL all.

Sometime passing is winning. I only wish the degenerate side of me would do that sometimes.

I agree, terrible schedule. I'm really liking habs tonight, Kings played last night and they aren't as good on the road as at home. With Jones starting and the way the habs looked with their new line combinations last game I'll be taking them

Yeah but that's why we're all here lol to gamble! And make money so passing sometimes isn't a bad idea if you don't feel good about it

NHL
Habs -1 +148 $200 to win $296

NBA
Raptors -9 -107 $107 to win $100

[mickjam42]

I was looking at the Raptors as well -9 is a lot to lay, a three possession finish minimum.

Still. they are solid at home.

Like Portland as well. Solid road team.

I have done well by tailing you, so what the hey. I'm in!

Good call on yet Habs tonight. This game shows the importance of the goal tender. Kings totally out shot the Hab, Price was just on top of his game.

[mickjam42]

Right on buddy lets get em!!

I didn't watch the game, but looking at the shots, how the hell did the Habs pull this one out?

Makes for a great night. All hail Cotes!

[RollinDo]

Sucks that Spurs lose yet again when I put them in a parlay...that's 0-2 this season (they are 8-2 at home! ) and 0-3 last year (Won like 70% at home)
So 0-5 betting on Spurs as home favorites of 8 points or more.

Also didn't put in that bet to hit 6 goals in Edmonton, which would have hit and I would have cashed bigtime...just talked myself out of it...
Calgary TT (U 2.5) hit, but when the parlays don't hit, you lose $$. Nba sucks

[RollinDo]

Nice night Cotes...I should just tail you every day. If I had seen you on Raps, may have changed Spurs ML to Raptors...I listened to that dude on free picks and parlays and he said go with Pacers...got me worried about Raptors, who apparently lost a quality defensive guy Drosen.

[Heinsbaek]

I had the under 6 and over 5,5 in the ducks game, great call RollinDo, sorry to hear you didn't play it yourself :-) and awsome night Cotes keep it up

[mickjam42]

Couple of 1:00 games, but nothing stands out.

Today I like Anaheim +109 @ Jets, and Tampa -110 @ Caps. Would even be tempted to go -1 @ +138, if I could find it on Pinny.

Pinny sometimes takes a while to put -1 lines up but they will

[cotes17]

Thanks guys! Yeah price had a dominant night last night. They were out shot bad and price made some huge saves as he usually does

Cotes, I have a stupid question in regard to the -1 plays cuz I see that you do that a lot. You do it because you are confident that they will win by at least 1 or is it because you don't want to pay the juice? Thanks in advance.

[RollinDo]

Seems that -1 pays off pretty well for him from what I notice.

Going with Sens TT (U 2.5) and if that hits, Philly +1 in a parlay with Preds +1.5

Is that an "if" bet?? I have never try this. How does it work?? So it you win your initial bet, all the money goes to your other bet??

[cotes17]

Yeah I mostly do it because I like the team to win but ml juice is too high and I rarely do -1.5. The way I see it is if I take the team in ml with high juice and lose, I lose all the juice which could be like $40-$50 depending. But if I take them -1 and they lose, most of the time its +$ so I just lose my original unit. I don't really like doing regulation bets like some guys because I just hate the fact that if it goes into OT, you lose automatically. I'd rather the -1 and have the chance of a push. And if the team is going to win in reg, a lot of times there's an empty net goal which gets me the win too. If the team only wins by 1, then I'll take the push rather than risking the juice on ml. Has been working out quite good for me so sticking with it

Tks Cotes. Think I will try that too. My locals finally have that option.

[eddycash]

any thoughts on the preds tonight vs the sharks? They seem to own them just like buffalo does..

[eddycash]

took the preds +117 with todays winnings gl

[mickjam42]

Another awesome day, many thanks!

I also put some couch change on Tampa and Anaheim. Only Ducks came through, but they were both positive juice, so that added a bit to the day's winnings.

Looking forward to some NFL tomorrow!

[RollinDo]

Yes it is...I like If bets a lot...maybe I overdo it with 3 sports going on at once?
But I won 4 If Win parlays in one single bet...was that GB game that finished it off on Monday.
I like these (thru 5Dimes) instead of a parlay with like 10 teams or bets I like since it is so slim to hit them all even though the odds are juicy for each part of it...obviously did not win today as Sens scored 3, but the first part of that was Dallas +4, so if they cover, then I only lose a very small amt. from the Ottawa TT (U 2.5) loss from today...it's good way for me to manage my $$.

[RollinDo]

Was 1st time this season that Rask gave up 2+ goals in b2b home games...was worth a shot and he previously had like a 2.05 GAA vs Sens in career.

[RollinDo]

took the preds +117 with todays winnings gl

I have Sharks again and Preds +1.5 in a parlay from a couple hoops games earlier today.
Also Under 5.5 (-160 juice), but a relatively small play there.

Would be nice to end SJ 3 Nashville 2...would be a good end to a pretty bad luck day in college hoops...Both my IF win parlays lost the 2nd part due to two 1 - point losses.
