    word of caution for people that follow posters picks
    Be very cautious..

    98% of posters here who give out picks ALWAYS gives out picks of their favorite teams, or home teams. I have noticed this trend here for quite some time.

    Deuce-- always always will say, take DET red wings-- he's from michigan
    Blitterdeuce- today says take ANAHEIM.. he's from there.
    Plommer, robzilla, and every other toronto guy, were on toronto.

    Watch and see when STL BLUES play, richie will be telling us all to bet STL.. he does it with rams every time..

    Deuce always tells you to take LIONS..
    Element- he is from pittsburgh, and i will bet most of his tips will be on Pitt penguins..

    These guys, including many many others, will never take other side.. they're alwys on their fav teams.. so watch it.
    So word of advice, if from now on, if anyone tells you he likes a game from a team from his hometown, don't take it seriously, it's their hearts talking..

    You'll never see me doing this.. I always go with value, these guys like deuce don't know what value is.. they only give out their fav teams.

    so watch out for this and if they give you tips, they shoudn't be considered as serious picks.. don't fall for this trap..


    I see alot of this in not just hockey, but all sports.

        I've done it twice but BOTH were weeknight games that I thought were right (1-1). I have no ties to any teams outside of Louisville to be honest. I LIKE the Panthers and Titans but I dont live and die by them like I do Louisville sports

          Blindly following, or fading someone elses plays without doing your own research is the sign of a rookie gambler.

              Well when you said LA Nicky I thought you were being a homer. Then I find out you're Canadian

                Ryan, we've both blew it when it comes to weekday games. I'm shocked that if Houston holds up I'll be 3-0 so far this week. (Might put me closer to .500 LOL)

                Back to business, who do you like tommorow in the ALCS? I'm tailing you the rest of the way

                  plommer, even though from toronto, has always told me from day 1 that he hates the leafs, thus his DET red wings pick..

                  so this makes my statement even more right.. i see this so many times in these forums.. people always telling us they love a game, and that team they love is their fav team.. or home team..

                              really? yes.

                              wiped me out at BetCris, I still have decent balances at Canbet, Greek and Centrebet.

                              Should my other two wagers cash, I'll lose less than $700 on the day.

                              I was a little too excited to bet hockey today, this loss will settle me down and help me take it easy for a while.

                                Why you would tail anyone on this site not named Pags, rjt, or LT is beyond me.

                                  plommer is a high roller.. i know his local in toronto, i used to bet with him, his name is Johnny.. and i asked him last week if plommer bets big, or if he's all talk.. and his local told me his avg bet is 2,000 to 5,000 a game, and he bets about 8 to 10 games a day and has a 20,000 dollar settle figure.. this plommer guy is big time..

                                    I don't tail Americans on hockey picks. That would be un-Canadian.

                                    Of all the major sports, pucks is the one I'm most confident in.

                                    Better days are likely ahead.

                                      Nicky, sorry to let you down, but I bet between $100-$500 on hockey games, when going good, or liking a play I'll bet up to $2500.

                                      I made approx 5-10 bets over $2k last season. My biggest wager $7000 on San Jose vs Dallas (playoffs) was a loser, I bet it when I was up over $14K at Canbet.

                                      And I don't use a local, my big bets are usually made at Canbet or Centrebet, sometimes Cris or Pinny.

                                      I remember you made the video where you said you thought your friends were cheering against you, I can relate, my "friend" was very happy when I lost $7K, he is also a gambler, misery loves company.

                                          Watch when a guy picks against his fav team. Those are often good.

                                          Hey Nicky,

                                          I thought you were still looking for Picoman in China.

                                                Nicky, your gig is up as a bullshitter, your cred iz zero, everyone know knows you make up stories.

                                                I still like you, and we are still pals, but try to be yourself.

                                                Just be Nicky Santauro, the character from Casino.

                                                    Hey Nicky,

                                                    I thought you were still looking for Picoman in China.

                                                    reno, i let it go when i saw just how much it'd cost me to go to china and look for him.. the ticket was 4,000 bucks, not including all those cabs and hotel stay, plus i confirmed i aint going when i realized my odds of finding him there with 1.2 billion chinese there. and my odds weren't that good..34,000 is enough to lose. i dont want to lose another 9,000 looking for him and most likely not finding him..

                                                        Deuce and Patty are big time squares that just love the action, I rarely follow their picks and if anything fade the that is what makes spreadsheet so powerful here.

                                                            i hate picoman.. i lost 34k on that game because of him, and i have had 2 very good weeks since, and made back 19k.. i still have 15k to go just to get back to where i was before i opened up his thread..

                                                            i could have been up 19k in the last 2 weeks.. instead, i am down 15k in the last 2 weeks..

                                                            picoman, i swear, if you didn't know karate, i'd kick your ass, but i'm scared of you, picoman.. i dont want to get my ass kicked.

                                                                LOL, Nick, you;re funny. First you tell us how sharp the books are, then you say they know nothing about the Habs.

                                                                Of course you're always right, you take both sides, not surprising really though, Quebecers aren't known for their decisiveness. LOL
