    Yep, Detroit ruined it, but, not a big deal.

      Yes. But Calgary had a poor rating right now in the model, especially after a loss to the Sabres. More juice than I like without Crosby, but Calgary on the road for third straight game losing the first two brought them down enough where it was a play.

                            Every bet is a wager bet for 1 unit, or on favorites - bet X to win 1, on dogs - bet 1 to win X

                              We are betting Ottawa tonight, and getting a decent price due to Buffalo's recent play. Buffalo has cost us some money recently, but it doesn't change how poorly they have played. Getting outshot 2.5-to-1 and winning 7/10 games will not continue, and we'll get those units back.

                              Notice Pittsburgh has fallen out of favor as we are passing on them tonight.

                              OTT -135

                              PIT o5.5 +110
                              BUF u5 -105
                              NYI u5.5 -135

                              Hoping totals push over the hump more tonight.

                              Good luck.

                                Just as an FYI,

                                In our most recent moving avg (tallied today, for time being), the worst home team is Edmonton, the worst road team is Calgary, best home team is tie between Philadelphia/Toronto/St. Louis, best road team is Tampa Bay (with Islanders and Blackhawks close).

                                Doesn't necessarily mean we'll bet those teams, as it depends on the opponent and the difference between the projected goals for each.

                                  Buffalo refuses to let an under hit when it's a play. Jeez.

                                      Pit or TB goal would be good here, could be 3-1

                                        Ask and you shall receive. Watching it on Pittsburgh broadcast and I had no clue if it was a goal because they acted like nothing.

                                              Don't even know what to say, and I'm a sabres fan. They're terrible. Management said they're going for worst team to get Macdavid or Eichel and now they are 10-3 L13, going to end up 10-12 and get the same mediocre player who doesn't win you cups

                                                          Hey man, I love your NHL thread and kind of interested to follow your picks. I don't know much about hockey and I am mostly a basketball/football guys.

                                                          My question is primarily with your team ML picks. To appropriately wager the correct amount...for example...if a unit for me is 50 bucks. Do I want to bet 50 bucks on every single ML pick regardless if its +235 or -235? Or do I want to wager every pick to win 50 bucks regardless if the ML is -200 and I would obviously have to bet a larger amount to get 50 bucks back.


                                                          I am still kind of a newbie at this so I really appreciate the help. I think your system looks very promising and would love to follow it!

                                                            if a unit for you is $50. don't bet $50 on every play pal. you're gonna bet ~$600 on a sport you're clueless about? c'mon man.

                                                            just bet $5 to $10 on each play and learn about the sport before you start betting $50.

                                                              He recommends to bet 1 unit on dogs and to win 1 unit on favorites. Using a $50 unit with a -200 ML, risk $100 to win $50. With a +200 ML, risk $50 to win $100.

                                                              To follow up with what Genghis was saying, there could be days with 10-12 or more plays. You might want to adjust your unit size to whatever your bankroll can handle, especially if you bet NBA and/or NCAAB everyday.

                                                                Just to add to the discussion, this isn't a 'try to go perfect' System, where plays are very selective and far between. It's a lot of picks, over 3/4 of the season. So, bet within reason and where you can handle a unit or two loss a day if it occurs. It will happen. But if I've learned anything about betting, the only way to be positive after a lot of bets is to always bet within your limits. I've gone on a 0-13 streak in NFL only to go 16-2 to follow it up, but most bettors would've been out during that stretch.
