Working on an open 4 pick parlay here...

Open Hockey - 7 Dallas Stars +1½ -210 for Game
Hockey - 10 San Jose Sharks -125 for Game Hockey - 24 Columbus Blue Jackets +1½ -210 for Game

First two are in, now rooting for Columbus +1.5, then just one more to get out alive.

I've been training for this...

956 CIN +110 -1
967 BAL +230 -1

Wed -3
Thu -0.02

Once we get into the the regular season, closer to May, I suspect we some more volatility.

Here's to hoping we are positive units by then.

Yeah, I sold the risked unit back live, but left a number of units on the table here when it landed on 212.

Hey KVB, i would like to discuss something.

You allways say to get the inplay stats that matter for predicting future games, but i read this post and got confused.

Every sport is different, and one can get very detailed in trying to predict the number of possessions and potential scores per possession or the number of hits or shots on goal.

But all these factors have base lines that change. Even the basic one above doesn't offer much unless you start comparing the teams to the league.

I'm saying use weighted averages so that recent performance is calculated into the prediction. Those who stick just to season averages will fall behind quickly.

It may or may not provide value in getting into micro stats and estimated players time on the court, etc. but I wouldn't go around the block to get next door...that too can be a mistake.
and in another post you say this:

That's more than Russell Westbrook averaged during the playoffs.

When the Warriors were kicking as during the playoffs last year, KD averaged 2.5 ISO possessions per game.

That game plan alone could give the Cavs a few wins, if not a championship.
