Roanld, Winnipeg could still have the home opener in that series. Game is still going.

Would that change your line on STL@WPG ?

You're right. I didn't realize that.

If WPG is at home then,

WPG -150
STL +130

which book is this from

[ronald]

I will be all over NYI if I can get -115 or better. I agree they open cheap but sharps buy them into -140.

Are you hammering them at +137?

[ronald]

My selections:

NYI +137
WSH -140
BOS -135
WPG +116

Actually this is great opportunity for us lakerboy. Would you be interested in a 500 pt h2h contest for NHL? Each round, we wager risk / to win 1 unit, on each series. Person at the end up the most points or down the least, wins.

I've been wanting to go h2h with someone in a contest. If anyone (except Yisman or LT) wants to go h2h, I have 500 points ready. I have 350 in freeplay currently so could try and get 1000 pts ready too.

OK now what exactly was the point of this?

LB accepted his challenge

LB proceeded to post all his picks first, all matchups of every series, Rounds 1 and again before Round 2

Eaglesfan371 then posts his series picks but admits that some are solely based on game theory, taking the opposite of LB on some of the series

LB goes ahead after Round 1, and Eaglesfan371 pays up the points in advance for losing, although not conceding the challenge, but just as a good faith gesture looking like he probably can't make up the lost ground

Round 2 appears LB gets caught by variance and now falls behind / or around even in the challenge ONLY because Eaglesfan371 went against every Round 2 pick that LB made, even though he said he agreed with and would have made 3 of 4 same series picks

What was the point of the challenge??
