Cotes Sports Picks

Nice puck picks again Cotes!

I lost small amt for 3rd day straight...not too bad, but gonna take a break until Saturday most likely...maybe even til Monday...just gotta stay content with the strides I've made the last 2.5 weeks.
Will add futures bet with Habs to win Eastern Conf tomorrow, but the odds are dropping...hope to get it at +475 tomorrow.

Love that Atlanta Hawks are playing great...that +2200 futures bet could look good down the road.

Just saw there are no nhl games til Saturday.
Is this typical for this 3 - day break around Christmas?
I guess I don't follow hockey that well. Not AS Break yet, right?

I don't think this is typical for every year. I know they usually take the 24th and 25th off, but not a 3 day break. Maybe because World Juniors are in Canada, they want to give it center stage the 26th?

[cotes17]

Yeah it's usually 2 days but I'll bet your right mick, probably world juniors in Canada. I'll be making a future bet on Canada to win the world juniors

[cotes17]

Not quite sure why you tail if you just want to complain. Free picks, up almost 4k, nothing asked for in return. I'd say it's a pretty sweet deal.

I will gladly take my team giving up the first goal every day if in the end they win like they have been

GL with Canada guys...no clue about Juniors.
Just locked in Habs future to win Eastern Conf @ +565.
Not sure why it is the best price it's been in a month ??
Early Christmas gift??
Worth a shot at that "Price".

[cotes17]

Forgot to update record for past 2 days so I'll do both in one

3-4 +$5

ytd: 149-122-21 +$3,981

Like your chances

Me too...really didn't follow Montreal last season...my 1st year betting on nhl...too many teams you gotta start out following a handful.
Really took an interest in them in playoffs last year and into this season...never seen them play, but just looking at how they win and how good Price is vs good competition makes me think this could be their year to make it to Stanley Cup Finals...just like the team from some things I've read.
Hopefully can watch a game or 2 in the new year to see them play.
I am pretty sure this will be the best odds to get them until playoffs.
If they win the first round, that's when you can hedge to make that bet count.

Hope you all have a blessed and Merry Christmas!

Right back at you.

I am seeing the Habs to win Eastern Conference at +650 on Sports Interaction. Any idea why the price is such a moving target?

[mickjam42]

Some great games in the tourney tomorrow, although no lines have been posted that I can see.

I like USA to get some revenge on Finland for the Olympic embarrassment.
Swedes over Czech Republic. Czechs program is a shadow of what it used to be.
Maybe a Canada/Russia parlay. My contribution to global peace, love, and understanding.

The line on Canada winning has dropped to +120. The pressure mounts.

[Jayvegas420]

For the 1st time bet 365 isn't offering lines for the World Jr's.

Good luck today.
Merry Christmas Cote.

[cotes17]

Merry Christmas to everyone here! Hope you all have great holidays!

Played the Wizards today and couldn't come post so up a unit already. Really looking forward to world juniors

Merry Christmas!

Pinny finally showing lines for tomorrow.

No Ml for Russia, or Canada. PLs are both at -4.5. I find these lines difficult early in the tourney, as lineups are still gelling. Winning by 5 goals is a tall order. After a couple of games, sure.

I really like USA -2 @ +118, and Sweden -2 @ +124.

Over/unders are usually easier on world juniors but yeah the spreads they do are difficult

[Bedard]

World Juniors = IIHF??

[Bedard]

Forget it... bet365 doesnt seems to offers junior championship bet...

[cotes17]

World Juniors = IIHF??

Yeah it is and that's weird they don't offer it

[Bedard]

Well they do offers IIHF bet but it seems like it's for the "adult" tournament held in may ... Canada pay +400

Just found out Pinny only uses regulation time for the tourney. Bummer, it screwed up my parlay.

Lots of games today in the NHL

[mickjam42]

I find laying 6.5 goals tonight vs Germany to be absurd, but Canada has the potential to win really big. They rolled yesterday, and can easily do it again today. Plus, there is incentive to run up scores.

I like Swiss ML @ +271. I also put a bit on the draw @ +394, and the U5.5 @ +111; the Swiss play really strong D.

I only put $20 on each, as I am still trying to get a feel for the teams, but hopefully I have hedged enough to come out in positive territory
