KK's Picks

[King_Killah]

I had this thread going last season, kinda slacked on it after all sports except baseball ended... We'll bring it back starting today with the first full college football schedule... I'll keep this thread to only football, unless you want something else also... I have been hitting baseball nicely still... It's up to y'all. I will post my picks... If you have games of interest, I will also give you my thoughts on those. Just post them. Of course being that I have a whacky work schedule, if you want thoughts on some games, try to get them in before Saturday, otherwise kick off may come and go before I get to see the posts.

Of course, good luck to any and all who make picks and place action.

Only checked in two games for today, officially... May come back and throw one more in before I head out the door because I don't like playing an even number of games.

Each game played will be at one unit ($100), unless otherwise stated. I'll post the records as we go, just like last time!

Ohio State -19 over Northern Illinois
North Carolina -4 over Rutgers

[keyboard]

Good luck on the new "season".

[suckerpuncher]

Great to see this thread back. I already wondered what happened.

I'd like if you post more then football. Especially when hockey is back in October but also baseball etc.

Cool.... I'll start, well now... Aside from the two college football games I took today, I also took the Dodgers -1.5 (which is currently sitting at 6-0/LA!!!)

I'll post all picks taken then... My fault for not keeping up with it over the summer. Wasn't sure how many people were interested in just baseball plays...

Season Record: 1-1
NCAA Football: 1-1
NFL:
MLB:
NHL:
NBA:
NCAAB:


I have to say that I was shocked twice this NCAA season so far. The first pick of the season was Buffalo -6 over Temple the other night... I guess the new coach at Temple has something going. Temple didn't give up 36+ points like they are usually good for. That game ended as a push. Tonight, Rutgers on the road, not only covers but wins SU. WOW!!! The Ohio State game -19 was a gift. So, I say thank you. I'll update the board when the Dodgers/Rockies game goes final.

[King_Killah]

Sunday's plays of the day:

Louisville -22.5 over Kentucky - Louisville's offense hasn't fallen off of last year, while Kentucky's defense has. Kentucky also doesn't have the offense to keep up.

LA Dodgers -1.5 over Colorado. The Dodgers have been good to me.

Arizona (Webb) -.15 over Washington. Gotta go with the Webbster... AZ seems to have their game on when Webb is on the hill.

Season Record: 2-1
NCAA Football: 1-1
NFL:
MLB: 1-0
NHL:

NCAAB

So three on tap... I may check in another game later, if I do I will post it.

Got f*cked with baseball yesterday, but Louisville the golden lock of the year hits nicely...

Not touching the Miami/Florida State game, unless one of y'all sees something ultra convincing for me to take action...

I am rolling with two baseball games though...

LA Dodgers -1.5 with Maddux on the mound
ChiCUBS -1.5 with Zambrano on the mound

[FlyGuy78]

I'm 2-0 so far this year King, and you should know that a nonbetting man picks a lot more winners than a betting man, and so as a revenge game in my eyes, I like the Canes tonight -3.5. The hook does scare me a little as this should be a close game, but I like the Canes at home.

What games did you take???

I am leaning Hurricanes only because they are at home, but it could end up a 3 point game either way...

I took GT and the points over ND and last night took TCU -7.5 over Baylor.

I feel ya about the 3 point game, that is why the hook scares me, but that is why I would take the Canes!! :D (Bookies want people to take the State and the hook!!)

[suckerpuncher]

What about the A's -1.5 with Zito

[Chelsea]

Good luck guys. I won't be doing any picks until NHL preseason beggins.

PS. KK, have you recieved my last e-mail? (the one with the slave raider)

I've seen Miami -3.5.....so if you are taking Miami and they win by 3.... YOU LOSE...

I was looking at that TCU game, but bailed it... GT was a good call...

One guy posted on a german football forum (Yes, there is one!) his picks for the College games this week. He's a College Football Freak (one of only a handfull that are spread all over the country ;) ) with pretty decent knowledge.

He plays a 6/8 system, so 6 of his 8 pick have to be true in order to win.

His picks are:
Pittsburgh U @ Cincinnati U (Spread) Pittsburgh U -8,5
Vanderbilt @ Alabama (Spread) Alabama -15,5
Ohio @ Northern Illinois (Spread) NO Illinois -14,5
Tulsa @ BYU (Spread) BYU -6,5
Tulane @ Houston U (Spread) Houston U -13,5
East Carolina @ UAB (Spread) UAB -6
Texas Tech @ UTEP (Spread) Texas Tech -7
Oregon @ Fresno State (Spread) Oregon -5

He says Pittsburgh, Oregon und BYU are no-brainers and Houston, NO Illinois und TexTech are close to be no-brainers. And he has a good feeling about UAB and Alabama.

What do you think? Does he have a good chance in getting 6 out of those 8 pick right?
Are there any 8 picks you would make that have a better chance?

[FlyGuy78]

well considering he picked 8 FAVORITES, I would say he wins no more than 4 of them!!

[King_Killah]

Had a busy day, so I didn't get to check in anything until now, in which I took the Rockies ML...

I am also looking at the Orioles/Angels game and the Rangers/A's game...

The Rangers game I am looking at Texas -1.5. But in Oakland?? Texas has Eaton on the hill vs. Oak's Saarloos.

The Angels game, I am being drawn to the Orioles ML at +170, but I am feeling the Angels -1.5 instead. I have done well with LAAAAAAA recently, but Lackey's lack of game over his last seven is a concern, especially vs. Benson who can make pitches.

Gotta check in those games by 10:00pm EST, so if anyone has input let me know... If I do anything, I'll post it.

I bolded out the picks that I like in this set... I wouldn't necessarily say I'd play them, because honestly I don't like a lot of these games. The dude that posted these picks should try to refrain from picking all favorites because that is bound for catastrophe.

Baseball rumped me again... That was my fault though... I only checked in Colorado's ML last night and wanted Texas and LAAAA also.

Today, I have one so far...

LADodgers -1.5 with D. Lowe on the hill vs. Milwaukee. I'm due for a Dodgers win.

Looking at Smoltz/Atlanta -1.5 also?? Thoughts on that? I have to bounce in 15 minutes, if I check it in...I'll post it.

[suckerpuncher]

Here are the matches I play tonight for the EURO 2008 - Qualifiers, Europe:

(HC 3:0) San Marino X Germany ---> Germany
We gonna win by atleast 4 goals in San Marino, anything else is not acceptable.

(HC 1:0) N. Ireland X Spain ---> Spain
And N. Ireland got crushed 0:3 @home vs. Iceland on Saturday while Spain defeated Liechtenstein 4:0. So Spain easily wins by at least 2.

[suckerpuncher]

Stupid Spain. How can you give up 2-1 lead in the second half to lose 2-3 against N. Ireland. - Note to myself: Never take Spain again!

At least we won 13-0 in San Marino and I got at least that right.

Well, the f*ck... Damn... I start this thread back up again, and baseball rams me in the shitter... I get a Dodgers win, but they don't cover... Maybe we should switch outta baseball and hit the NFL..........

MIAMI DOLPHINS +1.5 over Pittsburgh. I was looking at the Dolphins in the game +3.5 when Ben was still playing it. Personally, I think the Dolphins are gonna surprise a few people and win the mother SU. I'll take the point and a half in case we see a 21-20 game...

If I check in a baseball game, I'll post it.

:mad: :mad: :mad:

Nope... It was all real green... F*ck the Dolphins for their opening night let down. Bastards! I guess there was a reason everybody but two people that I know were on the Steelers. That's cool though, we have a long season ahead of us...

The last two days have been busy, haven't been able to check in.

Hit two baseball games out of frustration. Also nailed Louisville -40.5 today over Temple.

Season Record: 6-7
NCAA Football: 3-1
NFL:
MLB: 3-6

NBA:
NCAAB

There was no way Temple was coming close to Louisville. Just like Kentucky last week. I'll give my thoughts on Louisville next week, later in the week... The baseball games I won yesterday were Phillies -1.5 and Atlanta ML.

So now that we've gotten back on track, I have a few more that I just checked in.

Detroit Tigers ML over Minnsota with Noah Robertson on the hill.
LA Angels -1.5 over Toronto with Escobar on the hill vs. Chacin.
Arizona ML over St. Louis with Brandon Webb on the mound.

Colorado -1 over Colorado State.
Florida State -26.5 over Troy Ass State.
(TEASER) Houston down to -7 with the Utah State/Arkansas over to 40.5

Good luck everyone... I'll check back later tonight with the results.

[King_Killah]

Not a stellar night, last night.... BUT WE HAVE NFL WEEK ONE!

Going with four, home dogs... One big dollar game... And a baseball parlay...

We'll cover the baseball thing first to get it out of the way...

Cincy/Arroyo -1.5 over Pittsburgh coupled with Colorado at home ML...

NFL:

Detroit +6 at home over Seattle -- Watch out Seattle backers, that Madden Curse can hit as early as 1:10pm today.......

St. Louis +4 at home over Denver -- We have the exact opposite of the trap match-up... Denver is a much better home team than road team, although I don't discount them on the road either. I'll grab the points here...

Houston +6 at home over Philly -- I was calling Houston out when it was at +3.5, so I have to stick with it. Houston has potential to put points up. Remember back to the Texans home opener a few years back vs. Dallas. The world was against Houston. I took Houston then, they not only covered, but won SU.

Now we get to my favorite home dog of the day. NY GIANTS +3 over Indianapolis. Eli owns Peyton today...

BIG DOLLAR GAME...... If this game tanks, you may not see me in a while... ahahhaa.... $1000..... My game of the week..... ARIZONA -9 over San Francisco... FU SF, AZ is where it is at!

Got a total of two grand riding on the NFL today.... Could be a quick season if all fails.....

I'll update last night's and today's action when I get home tonight!!!

GOOD LUCK!

[boredguy]

Oh shi.....

[FlyGuy78]

King, so when you hoppin' a plane to SF and going to kick the 49er's coach's ass for going for a FG with 32 seconds left in the game when down by 10 to rape you in the ass without the consideration for a reacharound, being that the spread was 9? I guess we're not going to be seeing much of you around from now on, huh? :D


BIG DOLLAR GAME...... If this game tanks, you may not see me in a while... ahahhaa.... $1000..... My game of the week..... ARIZONA -9 over San Francisco... FU SF, AZ is where it is at!

[FlyGuy78]

SHOCKER!!!!!


King Killah is ABSENT from this thread, I would atleast thought he would show his face and throw an FU here and FU there, especially a HUGE FU to the 49ers for kicking that FG!! LOL

[boredguy]

I think KK is too busy crying still to post over here.

[Jake]

Or working all the OT he can

[King_Killah]

SHOCKER!!!!!

FU goes out to Arizona's defense for allowing the 4th and 11....

I think KK is too busy crying still to post over here.

More or less in shock than anything else...

Or working all the OT he can

Hahah...


Well, I am back... I played some shit over the weekend, 2-1 and 2-0 yesterday in the NFL, but not nearly enough to cover the huge hit that Arizona f*cked me with... We won't even count those since I didn't post those here...

Tonight...... going with Jacksonville SU moneyline over Pittsburgh. (could be a sign for y'all to take Pittsburgh!!)

Haven't looked at baseball lines yet. I'll post if I take any.

[FlyGuy78]

You are NUTS!!! :rolleyes::D

[keyboard]

Are you feeling CIN to cover +2 over PIT this weekend? I'm either going with CIN there or PHI to cover -7 on the road. What are you feeling this weekend in the NFL?

[FlyGuy78]

i like CIN and PHI this week to cover!

[King_Killah]

You are NUTS!!! :rolleyes::D

Guess not, huh.... I believe a 9-0 win is a JAX SU.........

[King_Killah]

i like CIN and PHI this week to cover!

Philly -7 @ San Francisco is the one to take here... I wouldn't go with Cincy. Ben will look to bounce back after his pretty weak season opener. True 2 isn't much, so a FG wins it, I just wouldn't hit Cincy this week.

[King_Killah]

After a nice week last week....

I'll hop on college and baseball action tonight....

Going with Georgia Tech -17 over a pretty weak Virginia team.

Baseball two moneylines in order: Dodgers and ChiSOX.

I'll update all the stats later on... Good luck!

True 2 isn't much, so a FG wins it, I just wouldn't hit Cincy this week.Line changed to Philly -6.5 so I hopped all over it. I'm also thinking to take SEA at -3.5 with Branch in the game. Seems like SEA will have too many threats with Hasselback and his completion percentage and hopefully a bounce back game from Alexander.

Edit: Went with PHI and SEA, both are cruising along. Took BUF because I'm retarded. Taking DEN tonight to cover +7. Regret not taking WSH to cover, knew they would.

Kam -- please don't take Denver... Hope you didn't lock it in... If it were in Denver, I'd be all over that with you. But not in NE. Sorry...

I had Jax +7, pushed... Won the Philly -6.5. Going with New England tonight...

Good luck.

Good call on taking Denver. I really didn't think they'd do it in New England. However, Tom Brady has no receivers. His top three receivers are 3 TEs. That's insane.

Tonight's game... Dude, I want to be all over Atlanta, I just can't do it though... Not tonight... This is a huge, huge game for New Orleans. First game back in the city since the tragedy. No away team wants to win the first game back. Just like after 9/11. Nobody wanted to go to the Giants, Jets, Yankees, Mets, Rangers, Isles, Knicks and win that first game. I am gonna watch the line to see how it moves. The city is so hyped right now. I'll post my take later this afternoon.

[FlyGuy78]

You said that after the punt return TD, didn't you?

Edit: fuck, this game is ridiculous.
Edit: blocked field goal, this is now officially the worst game I have ever bet on.

i wouldn't go that far, but they are playing like a much better team than we are used to seeing in the past.

Coincidentally that timing of Fly's post and the BLOCKED PUNT for a TD are pretty close in time......

Dude, I had the Saints at +5... I was all over that... If you look at history, HOME DOGS on MNF usually win SU, let alone cover... Sorry if you took the Falcons, even though it was tough rooting against them for me... But hey, gotta go where the money is... ;)

I'll look at some baseball tonight.... Primarily the Phillies over Washington... Washington in a doesn't matter game coming off of a road series... Phillies need the win to fight for the Wild Card. I'll post if I take anything tonight...

[King_Killah]

i wouldn't go that far, but they are playing like a much better team than we are used to seeing in the past.

Fly...this is a much improved team this year........... Better quarterback in Brees, he makes Horn better, Colston is a monster, Bush frees up Deuce... The defense isn't too shabby... Are they Super Bowl bound, no... Although DB & I said Saints/Broncos Super Bowl last night... Hahahahahaha....

[two24four]

i wouldn't go that far, but they are playing like a much better team than we are used to seeing in the past.

I'm not saying they are the best team in the league or anything, but I think they have a good shot at making the playoffs this year, which would be huge for that city.

[FlyGuy78]

Although DB & I said Saints/Broncos Super Bowl last night... Hahahahahaha....

The Broncos aren't making the Super Bowl either. They are not as good as most people think. Cutler will be the starter soon than later, and Plummer is lucky as hell he had a good game vs. NE or we would be seeing Cutler and Leinart starting this week. C'mon TEN, just start V.Young now!!!! :D

Fly do you know what sarcasm is.... Dummy!

Plummer will remain in unless he completely falls apart. Although, I would love to see Cutler. Cutler, remember is the QB that I think is the best of the draft. Better than Leinart and Young. Warner is gonna start, but Atlanta might finish him as the starter! God, Tenny please put Young in!!! COLLINS SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Updated after Saints/Falcons WIN...

Tonight I have TCU -5.5 over BYU... BYU is butthole on the road. They are actually butthole altogether, they just happened to play Utah State and Tulsa at home... F* BYU! Lock that in before it squirts up to 7.

[keyboard]

I took MIA to cover -4, NE/CIN under 46, DAL to cover coming off the bye week, KC to cover at home, and PHI to cover Monday night against GB. Honestly though, fuck MIA. In the red zone three times, settling for field goals. What a fucking joke of a team.

I loved Baltimore and Chicago and pounder them. Looks good so far although Baltimore made it interesting.

My worst pick of the year, SEA to cover.

[Doctego]

A friend of mine bet $500 on the over in the 2nd half. It was 17. What a waste of an hour and a half.

first day with a full schedule in the NHL

I picked 6 gmaes for the night on proline

Nashville over chi by 2+
NYR over Washington by 2+
Minn over colo by 1+
SJ over STL by 1+
Calgary over Edmonton by 1+
Phoenix over NYI by 1+

First time really ever playing proline. What do you guys think?

Looks pretty good to me, I might have taken SJ +2 over STL though, how much it that paying out??

I only put 10 on the ticket, pays out 250 if it wins

It's hockey. There's no such thing as a safe bet. Betting more than 2 games in the NHL is practically giving away your money.

Sorry fellas for not keeping up here with this thread/picks... Been busy as f*ck. Sometimes barely getting picks in at all...

Will try to keep up with this thread more often.

How is everyone doing so far?

[keyboard]

It should come as no surprise that I have lost all my money. Took Big stupid Ben to cover the second half spread on Sunday and that didn't happen. I'm saving up and going to let a whole bunch ride on Steve Yzerman's jersey night.

Does anyone else like Tampa +5.5 against Cincinnati this week?

[Doctego]

Does anyone else like Tampa +5.5 against Cincinnati this week?
Fuck no.

[two24four]

Does anyone else like Tampa +5.5 against Cincinnati this week?

Not a chance.

[HT9]

I dont even know much about football but Cincy will definately cover

[King_Killah]

Does anyone else like Tampa +5.5 against Cincinnati this week?

No Spoon..... no!

[King_Killah]

Three college ball games on tap today.....

First..

Lousiville -25 over Cincinnati.. Cincinnati is butthole. Louisville will win this one by 30+.

Then..

Louisiana Tech -3 over Idaho. Not huge on LaTECH but not huge on Idaho. I'll take Tech at home giving 3.

Finally..

Michigan -5.5 over Penn State. Penn State isn't that good this year. Michigan is pretty damn good this year. This is a huge game for the Wolverines. Lines at 7-9, Michigan can usually cover. It's when they are double digits that they have issues covering. I'll take Big Blue -5.5 here.

Why is PHI only favoured by -3 in NO tomorrow?

[two24four]

Why is PHI only favoured by -3 in NO tomorrow?

NO has a pretty good team this year, I see them making the playoffs.

[suckerpuncher]

I thought about playing the following as 4/6 combi this weekend.

Houston Texans bei Dallas Cowboys
Total - Pick: Over 43

San Diego Chargers at San Francisco 49ers
Total - Pick: Over 42.5

Oakland Raiders at Denver Broncos
Total - Pick: Over 36

Seattle Seahawks at St. Louis Rams
Total - Pick: Over 44.5

Chicago Bears at Arizona Cardinals
Spread - Pick: Chicago Bears -10.5

Cincinnati Bengals at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Spread - Pick: Cincinnati Bengals -5

What do you think about this? Any chance of succes?

[King_Killah]

Why is PHI only favoured by -3 in NO tomorrow?

1. They are playing in New Orleans.
2. New Orleans has a pretty good offense.
3. New Orleans has a pretty OK defense.
4. Philly is not the dominant team in the game.
5. Offense favors Philly, slightly.
6. Defense is a wash.
7. Special teams (returns) favors New Orleans.
8. Kicking/Punting goes to New Orleans.

Is this enough reasons?

Scary thing here is that I like all 6. The only one that I would be concerned with is the Dallas/Houston over. Not sure if Houston can score that much to contribute to the total. Don't see Dallas blowing up Houston that bad. 27-10 final, something close to that.

[King_Killah]

1-2 college action yesterday. Completely surprised at the Louisville outcome. Not so much surprised over the LaTECH game. Michigan in the house.....

Today's action sees:

Rams/Seahawks over 45
Cincinnati -5 over Tampa Bay
Detroit ML (+100) over Buffalo
3-team teaser: Falcons +4, Dallas -6, Washington/Tennessee over 32.5

San Diego/San Francisco over 42
2-team teaser: San Diego -3, NY Jets +4.5

Denver/Oakland over 36

I actually like SD -10 but needed something to put with the Jets.

Also added the St. Louis Cards ML over the NY Mets.

Good luck everyone.

[spoonie luv]

Does anyone else like Tampa +5.5 against Cincinnati this week?

Why did I listen to you guys?

[suckerpuncher]

Damn.

I had the Rams ML but they got screwed.

Does anybody know why there wasn't a 10 second runoff after the Illegal Formation penalty with :04 left to play?

Especially when you look at the rules: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_football_rules

Illegal procedure (5 yards) - they commit any of a number of infractions in failing to adhere to the rules that govern action before the snap. Referee signal: two arms in front of chest with closed fists "rolling" around each other (same signal that basketball referees use to signal traveling). In the NFL, if the following penalties occur with less than a minute remaining in the half and the clock running, then a ten-second penalty is also assessed. The half automatically ends if the penalty occurs with 10 seconds or less remaining to be played with the clock running. The 10-second penalty does not apply if the clock is stopped when the ball is set for play and will not start until the ball is snapped, or if a team elects to use one of their time outs in lieu of the 10-second runoff. A team wanting to run the clock out in a close game can in fact intentionally false start and use the 10-second rule to their advantage, since the false start penalty cannot be declined by the defense.

Illegal procedure includes, but is not limited to:

Illegal formation - has fewer than 7 players on the line of scrimmage (or more than 7 in NFL), fails to have an eligible receiver as the leftmost and rightmost players on the line in the NFL, or fails to have five properly numbered ineligible players on the line.

[Doctego]

I loved the over in the baseball game tonight but my drunkass decided to buck the odds and take the under.

[King_Killah]

Why did I listen to you guys?

HAHAHAHHAHA.......:lol:

[King_Killah]

I loved the over in the baseball game tonight but my drunkass decided to buck the odds and take the under.

...f*ck the Bears! The are still pretenders. They haven't beaten anybody really. Except Seattle minus Alexander. They are just lucky to play in a division with the Pack, the Vikes, and Kitna.......

After laying solid change on the Bears -12.5 and the under 40.5, when AZ went up 14-0, then what 23-3... I was hoping for a split. But no... They go and choke offensively, although Leinart and Boldin had solid games. Cocksuckers.......

[Doctego]

Damn.......Kenny Rogers is -175 tonight. Never thought that would happen, especially in a playoff game.

[moans]

maybe we can get something going for midseason, if yahoo still has midseason of course. If not then I say we fine tune the rules and that shit and get ready for next season.

[keyboard]

So, I am looking for a good online betting site. I tried Bowman's, but they are a pain in the ass when trying to withdraw and deposit money. SportsInteraction will only let me bet a max of $200 on a game involved in a parlay, so that's no good. Anyone know any other sites? Thanks.

[suckerpuncher]

Anybody with any idea for todays hockey games?

TB -1.5 looks good to me.
And maybe Flames ML vs Atlanta. Flames are unbeaten @home since January 2.

[Andrew1125]

I just ran out and grabbed my proline ticket and I can tell you Tampa was definitely on it. Can't remember the other choices actually, but I remember the Tampa bet was a no brainer for me. Calgary sounds like a decent choice as well.

[suckerpuncher]

Both picks right last night. :D

Now my picks for tonight.

Devils -1.5
Sens -1.5
Wild -0.5

Maybe somebody else has some picks too. Don'tbe shy to share them.

[Andrew1125]

Last night's bets were the worst I've had all year. Took Selanne over Sakic, Leafs over Isles, Edmonton by 2 over Bruins, and over 5.5 goals in that same game. Brutal.. potential payout was terrible too.

I'm going to run out and try my luck again tonight. I'll edit this in 20 mins probably. I'll have to see the odds first, but I like Minnesota at home. Pittsburgh, Ottawa, and Preds look good too.

[two24four]

I like playing proline on Saturdays the best for hockey, so many games to choose from, I will prob get one this Saturday.

[suckerpuncher]

One short question about proline.

The odds for a tie in hockey are very high there but how can somebody bet on a tie and win if the rules say that the final result includes both OT and SO?
There can't be a tie after SO.

[Andrew1125]

One short question about proline.

The odds for a tie in hockey are very high there but how can somebody bet on a tie and win if the rules say that the final result includes both OT and SO?
There can't be a tie after SO.Pretty sure they mean at the beginning of a shutout, so a tie after 65 minutes. Maybe they just have it worded awkwardly... that would be a pretty good scam if they meant it that way though. I'll pay anyone here 2000:1 on a tie after a shutout.

I like calling the tie between skaters, it's usually like a 4:1 payout, and it doesn't seem that unlikely to me anyway (I've never gotten the tie when I called it on skaters, 1/1 when calling on games though).

[suckerpuncher]

Damn Wild.

Anyway, 2-1 last night and the higher lines ones gone through.


Let's see what we have tonight.
Flames -1.5
Leafs ML
Lightning -1.5

Good luck.

Kam -- well, thanks for reviving this thread... I was going to get to it with yesterday's picks (Pens/Blues ML parlay and Duke +2 -- both winners I might add) but forgot to.

SIA only lets you max at $200 on a parlay. What kind of parlay were you looking at? I have done a couple of $500 parlays with them, but if the payout is exuberant, then I can understand the limit. Example if you are trying a 6-teamer on college hoops and take the 6 biggest underdogs, then sure... I see their point. If that hits, that could close SIA's doors.

Anyway, I use SportsInteraction almost everyday. I also use BoDog on occasion.

Also, they will let you deposit back on to your credit card without any ridiculous ID verification process. A huge plus in my books. SIA still haven't given me my money, asking for me to fax a third form. Really frustrating.

MLB Opening Day

Phillies ML

Anybody else with some picks?

[King_Killah]

MLB Opening Day

Phillies ML

Anybody else with some picks?

I started off with a strong 3-0, then split today 1-1.

Opening night, took the Mets +1.5 over the Cards.
Then I had the Braves ML in the Phillies home opener.
Royals +1.5 over the Red Sox in their opener.

Then today I took Atlanta ML over Philly and didn't think I was winning that one. Lost on Houston ML -1.5 over Pittsburgh.

[King_Killah]

Shall we attempt to revive this thread???

Not touching the hoops game tonight. I think if the Cavs win one, it will be tonight. That line currently stands at:

Spurs -2 @ -115
Cavs +2 @ -105
Over/Under is 179.

I am on three baseball games tonight. Taking 2 dogs and 12 favorite.

I have Cole Hamels and the Phillies ML @ -155 over ChiSOX. Hamels on the mound is the only reason I am taking this game.

Brandon Webb and Arizona @ +160 over the Yankees is too good of a price to pass up.

Micah Bowie and Washington @ +155 over Baltimore is solid. Baltimore's bats are virtually invisible right now.

[suckerpuncher]

Finally a sign of life in this thread.
I take the following MLB games tonight:

Tigers RL - The whole Tiger team is red hot. The series against the Mets proved that. And the Brew Crew struggles on the other hand. So the Tigers should easily win by at least 2 Runs.

Pirates/Rangers over 9 - Duke with 5.75 ERA and Milwood with a 7.57 ERA. They'll get the job done tonight.

[suckerpuncher]

Verlander no-hits the Brewers and the Tigers win 4-0. :D



Pirates/Rangers over 9 - Duke with 5.75 ERA and Milwood with a 7.57 ERA. They'll get the job done tonight.
Pirates win 7-5. Easily Over 9. :D

[King_Killah]

Sorry for not posting yesterday, but went with the Baltimore dead-bats theory again and took the Nats for the win.


Today's action...

I go the opposite. Baltimore doesn't get swept at home by the Nats. Guthrie pulls it together over Simontacchi. Orioles ML.

Florida/Willis & Pittsburgh/Gorzleanny ML parlay. Pays almost 2.75/1. Gorz has been hot, and although Willis has an ERA of 4.50+ the Fish seem to win when he is on the mound.

[King_Killah]

Well the debacle on the books today was paid for by the Spurs sweep. Going into that series, I took the Spurs to win the series outright. Was teetering on taking game one Spurs -7.5 action but faded it then came back to it game two at Spurs -7. Left games three and four alone. Series clincher tonight pays for the MLB butchering. Gorzelanny and the Pitts got shut out. The Fish made it semi-interesting in the 9th, but that didn't matter since Pittsburgh lost. Baltimore goes and gets swept at home. Three games I wanted to play, but was afraid to touch... Atlanta +1.5 over Minnesota. I saw a lot of action leaning Minny's way, so I wanted to play Devil's Advocate and go the opposite. But just didn't feel it. Atlanta isn't looking to hot right now. I was looking at KC as home dogs. No way did I think they would have blown St. Louis up like that. Oakland ML at Houston was the one I had lined up and wanted to pull the trigger on first, but faded. Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls. If there is one thing to learn about betting sports, is go with your first call. Would have been 3-0, faded my original plays went with others and ended up 0-3 (0-2 since the one was a parlay).

We'll be back tomorrow.

[King_Killah]

Right now sitting on a nice home dog win Cleveland / C. Lee +110 ML. Waiting on the Angels ML -230 over Houston. Not looking hot at the moment. LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA is down 7-4.

[King_Killah]

What an Angels comeback!!!!!!!!!!!

Tonight sees:

Kendrick/Philly ML +155 over Cleveland.

Getting greedy with a 3-teamer +311 --- Peavy/San Diego ML over Baltimore, Penny/LAD ML over Toronto, and Jo. Santana/Minny ML over NYY.

Oakland -1.5 +105 over Cincinnati

Atlanta ML +125 over Boston.

Scared over two... The Braves, two in a row over Boston?? Yikes. Also, the Yanks are hot.

[suckerpuncher]

Twinkies play @Mets not @Yankees. :confused:

Does that change anything?

Whats ML ??

[suckerpuncher]

ML = Money Line - the winner of the match at the end of the game (no matter if the game ends after 9 innings or 13 innings or in hockey regulation/overtime/penalty shootout)

RL = Run Line - the favorite has to overcome a 1.5 run (goal) deficitit -> the favorite has to win by at least 2 runs (or goals in hockey)
The underdog gets additional 1.5 runs and in order to win the bet the dog can weither win or lose by max. 1 run (goal)
In hockey the RL for the underdog is won once the game ends in a tie after regulation since in OT and PS the favorite will only 1 goal max.

The A's -1.5 is a RL game. The odds are better and you can make more cash than with a ML but the A's have to win by at least 2 runs.

[suckerpuncher]

My picks tonight are:

Padres RL

Cards/Royals over 10.5

Blue Jays/Dodgers under 8.5

Nationals Tigers over 9.5



And a special combo (parlay) with very low stakes:

All Japanese J-League games (9 games) tomorrow over 2.5 goals.
Odds depend on bookies and should be somewhere between +6500 and +11000.

Took Penny/LA because Penny has been stellar and Toronto is ass. Took Santana/Twins because the Mets are faltering. They aren't the same as they were in the beginning of the season. Put those two in a three-team parlay, just waiting on the Padres. They are looking good up 4-0 in the 5th over the shitass Orioles.

My Phillies pick hit.
Braves lost, which I was afraid of.
Oakland -1.5 isn't looking good as they are down 4-0 in the 6th.

Looks like i'll go 4-7.
I didnt think Fogg was gonna outpitch Mussina. Yanks sucked out.
Oakland screwed me over too. At least they brought the tying run to the plate in the 9th.
The Angels are losing 9-5 in the 8th. Doesnt matter if they comeback again, i gotta go 7 for 7 to collect.


Tomorrow i 'll pick 7 games... Let me know what you think... 15 games again, all i need is 7 winners. 3 early starts.

[nineoneone]

So far i got:

Oakland -1.5
Detroit -1.5
Cleveland -1.5
Chicago Cubs -0.5
New York Y -1.5

Im thinking:
Milwaukee for the sweep
Roy Halladay and the Blue Jays
San Diego cuz they play the last place Orioles

MLB was 2-2 last night.
Today I have:

Nats/Tigers over 9.5

Mariners/Pirates over 9.5

Angels/Astros over 9

Padres RL

A's RL

Tigers RL

[King_Killah]

I took one play, two-team parlay....

LAAAAAAAA/Ervin Santana ML over Houston along with San Diego/Germano over Baltimore @ +168. Ervin is butt on the road, but stellar at home, while Houston is really just shitty all around. No way they win two AT the Angels. Baltimore is just God awful. Guthrie on the mound for the O's kinda concerns me a bit, but hey...

Wanted the Cleveland Indians tonight, but didn't get home in time to check it in. Like Sabathia on the mound against Lieber and Philly. Currently up 10-4 there, oh well... Missed out on that piece.

4-2 last night.

I also took A's under 8.5 shortly before the game. After they were down 0-3 early it didn't looked that good for the under and the RL but the 5-3 was the only result that could save my ass and win me both bets. :D

Don't know if I play anything tonight since there are only have a handful of games.

[King_Killah]

Back in action tonight. Sorry fellas for missing out on the last couple of days. I have been nuts busy. I got three plays going tonight.

Atlanta/Hudson ML over Washington. The Braves haven't been that good lately, dropping all the way to .500. I see them rebounding tonight at home vs. the Nats after being pounded by the Tigers the last three days.

Two-team parlay. I have this one seeing Brad Penny/Dodger ML over Arizona along with Sheets/Milwaukee -1.5 over Houston. Houston hasn't been that good really. I like Sheets. Penny has been solid this season.

Three-team parlay. All MLs. Detroit/Bonderman over Texas, Lackey/LAAAA over KC, and Sabathia/Cleveland over Oakland. Detroit should roll nicely after demolishing the Braves. The no time off between traveling doesn't bother me here. LAAAAA are good. Concerned over Cleveland. Oakland has burned me a few times.

[King_Killah]

Turned out to be a decent night last night.....

Got home late, only able to check in one game tonight.

I am taking Erv Santana/LAAAA -1.5 @ +100 over KC. I was tempted to take Meche/KC ML @ +175.

If anyone has an opinion on the Arizona/LAD game or the SF/SD game, let me know... I was looking hard at Arizona tonight.

[suckerpuncher]

I have no clue if someone actually still reads this here or if KK or anybody else still bets.
But I'll post my picks for tonight anyway.


Habs ML - Habs should rebound after they lost their home operer to the Canes.

Av's o5.5 - 7 of the last 8 games between the 2 teams were over. This should continue tonight.

Flyers RL - Atlanta has been very disappoining so far and I'm confident that the Flyers will win it by at least 2 goals.

Wild RL - The Kings are a mess right now and lost the last 4 games by at least 2 goals. On the other hand the Wild are still undefeated and just blanked the Ducks.

Sucker... I was actually just thinking of this thread the other day and started to compile my season stats to post here. (from the start of the NCAAF season) I have been taking action all along. Very rarely a day off...

Give me a day or two to try to get the stats for y'all and then I will start posting picks regularly. Most football weekends I have been playing 7 games each, NCAAF and NFL.

[suckerpuncher]

Tonight I have an eye on 3 picks.

Blues -1.5
Kings -1.5
Blackhawks -1.5

I really like the first 2 and the Blackhawks are playing an horrible Thrashers team so if they win they'll win by a good margin.

[King_Killah]

I was going to dive in and give you all the stats of the year (the year starts with football) but there are so many, it would have take 3 posts to do so... So f*ck it... We'll just start with this weekend. I have been diligent in staying with an equal base on all games played in any given single day, i.e. if I start out throwing a dollar on one game, I'll play a dollar ($100) on each game I take for the day. If I throw a deuce ($200) it will be a deuce on each game throughout the day. This makes +'s and -'s easy. Tools like Brandon Lang like to give you his XXXX-Dime play. He is a jack ass. It loses like three times in a row. On the fourth time (after doubling each time) it finally hits. What he makes it look like is he hits the big game, but the reality is he actually just brings himself back to even. He's a douche. I wouldn't follow him much if any of you do.

Anyway... Saturday's plays went 4-1.
Buffalo pick 'em over Akron
Oregon -3 over USC
Ohio State -3.5 over Penn State
UTEP +6 over Houston
Rutgers +6 over West Virginia

Sunday's action went 4-4
Pittsburgh/Cincinnati UNDER 48
New England -16 over Washington
Cleveland -3 over St. Louis
San Diego -9 over Houston
Jets/Bills OVER 38
Tampa Bay -3.5 over Jacksonville
Minnesota +1 over Philly
Rockies ML over Red Sox

So we will start with this weekend's stats...and I will give you a rolling total as we go along. I will post picks. Any/everyone else please feel free to post picks as well. If I could just ask one favor, if you are posting a pick please support it with a reason instead of just saying I pick XX +3 over YY.

A few things to note. Not sure which site anyone uses, I primarily use Sports Interaction. I occassionally dabble on BoDog. Once in a blue moon I'll go elsewhere. On SIA, there is auto-juice. Basically on most bets I'll win $91 on a $100 play. When you line the play up it looks like (example)

Memphis -4 -110
Toledo +4 -110

The MLs on the dogs are obviously better pay outs than MLs on favorites.

If I remember, I'll post the price with the play if it is different than the normal -110.

I'll post picks as early as I can in the day. This way it'll give any takers a chance to get in on action.

Of course nothing is a guarantee, that's why they play the games. But placing action makes the games more interesting.

Any questions, comments please ask.

Currently locked in three plays.

Green Bay +3 @ -105 ($100 play wins $95)
Green Bay ML @ +135 ($100 play wins $135)
Green Bay/Denver UNDER 44.5 @ -110 ($100 play wins $91)

Laid off NHL... Only three games. SIA has a Grand Salami bet which is an over/under total goals from all games set at 17. They usually have it set at 5.5 goals per game, which puts this number a little high, so I faded it.

Good luck.

[suckerpuncher]

Great to see you're finally back.

NFL this weekend was really good this weekend especially when I consider I didn't want to play first and the fact I didn't use that charity offer (all the big ones covered their spread).

And I found someone who is really good with South American soccer.
His analysis are in German but his results speak for theselves. I play his picks regulary.
If you want to take a look at his stats: http://ledi.blogabet.com/


For tonight I like the Pack tonight too.
And I get slightly better lines here (Spread is 100 wins 100, ML is 100 wins 145).


That just brings me to my first question. Why does everybody use that -125 etc. Almost like the Brits with their fractional 4/5 stuff.
The rest of us lazy Euros uses the simple and easy understandable decimal system. Which just mean the line is the factor for the amount you wage. That's especially a big plus once you do a parlay.

The reason I write this is because if I write a pick I don't know what the line in your style is (I could probably try to convert it but i'm lazy ;)) and I don't know what the line at certain American bookie is (though I could tell you the lines for about 20 Euro bookies :D).

[King_Killah]

After Monday Night's Winner...


NCAA(F): 4-1 / 264
NFL: 7-3 / 385
World Series: 0-1 / 100
NBA Preseason: 0-0 / 000
NBA: 0-0 / 000
NCAA(B): 0-0 / 000
NHL: 0-0 / 000

Tonight...

So far just going with one play.

Dallas Stars ML @ -180 over Chicago.

I don't think it'll be a blow out so I don't want to fuss with the GL (goal line) in this case. The -180 converts to $100 wins $55.

That just brings me to my first question. Why does everybody use that -125 etc. Almost like the Brits with their fractional 4/5 stuff.
The rest of us lazy Euros uses the simple and easy understandable decimal system. Which just mean the line is the factor for the amount you wage. That's especially a big plus once you do a parlay.

When you log into SIA or BoDog you have the choice to have it presented in either -110 or 2/1 type. The -110 (or whatever number it is) is the dollar amount you have to lay to win $100. So in my case above, taking Dallas... If I want to won $100 I need to lay $180. Why it just isn't presented in basic decimal format, who knows? Hahaha... I will try to remember to convert it for you when I post picks.

I am looking at Florida at home @ +100 (which is even $100 wins $100) over Carolina. Also looking at New Jersey at home @ -115 over Tampa. Thoughts??

[suckerpuncher]

You don't have to convert it for me. The lines are pretty much the same around the world since the bookies adjust them instantly.


I can see why you want to take the Devils. TB has lost all their road games so far and after a seemingly endless road trip for the Devils they now play only the second home game of the year. They need to start winning right now.
I'll take the Devils.

But why the Panthers? The Canes have won the last 7 games against the Panthers in a row and are 8-2 in their last 10 against them. It looks like they have their number.
But the last 3 games in Florida were decided in OT.
Maybe it's worth to pick the X after regulation if one of your bookies offer this. But only small.
The lines here are something like 100 wins 330.

And I think the Kings will win against Columbus in regulation. Both time are on a hot streak right now and both teams got the majority of wins @home this season. 9 of the last 10 games between those 2 were won by the home team and only 2 games were decided in OT and both were in Columbus.
That's why I think the home ice advantage will be the deciding factor.

Devils ML 100 wins 91
Panthers X (regulation) 100 wins 330
Kings win (regulation) 100 wins 115

I was looking at Florida because that line went from +125 down to +100. At even money it is still worth it. There has to be something for the books to swing it down so much. Someone is out for the Canes or just heavy action on the Panthers that they want to force action back the other way. I don't know. I haven't locked it in yet. I'll back your Devils and Kings though.

***I just went back onto SIA and Florida is back up to +115. So I will nix that game altogether.

Games on tap for tonight:

Dallas ML -180 over Chicago (wins $55)
New Jersey ML -115 over Tampa Bay (wins $87)
Los Angeles ML -125 over Columbus (wins $80)

where do you guys all do your betting? I play poker at partypoker and they have a betting sie as well. It's pretty good to be honest. Some really good odds and a huge selections of sports.

I would say 90% of what I do is through SIA (Sports Interaction). I dabble with BoDog here and there. On a rare occassion if I am trying to hit a middle (example: one site has say New England at -5 but another has the lined bumped up to Indy +7 - that sort of thing. Best to utilize this method for college games and if you take one team early in the week. College spreads shoot around moreso than NFL spreads).

[King_Killah]

Another shitbox day picks were GREAT plays weren't so good.

NCAA(F): 5-2 / 255
NFL: 7-3 / 385
World Series: 0-1 / 100
NBA: 0-1 / 100
NCAA(B): 0-0 / 000
NHL: 1-5 / 313

The winners Bowling Green.

The two pars losers. Fell two goals short in the Grand Salami for the NHL par and the Mavs those bastards lost to Atlanta SU.

College football... Will bring us back up to status.

Picks for today:

(12:00) Miami -10.5 over No. Carolina State
(12:30) Nebraska +20 over Kansas
(2:30) Navy ML (+130) over Notre Dame
(3:00) Boise State -25.5 over San Jose State
(8:00) Boston College -7 over Florida State

Good luck.

[suckerpuncher]

After a disappointing start of the week I sat out the last couuple of days.

For tonight I have an eye on the following NHL games:

Lightning -1.5
Rangers/Devils under 5
Habs ML and over 6
Canes -1.5
Coyotes ML

Feel free to give your input for tonight games.

[moans]

last thing I did before bed was place a bet on some soccer. I played the following:
Chelsea over wigan by 2 or more, Arsenal and Man U OVer 1.5 goals, Everton and Birmingham over 1.5 goals, middleborough and tottenham over 1.5 goals, aston villa over derby county by 2 or more and then a gme on Monday Manchester City over Sunderland. Odds at 15:1. 5 of 6 correct so far.

You like the Canes with Grahame in net??:scared:

[suckerpuncher]

Don't worry I'm still here.

I was just a bit busy and didn't had that much time. And the fact that our DST ended already last week didn't help me either.
Normally when I find some time around midnight I have about an hour but this week most games were already on.
But that should change this weekend. I get that one hour buffer back. ;)

[suckerpuncher]

You like the Canes with Grahame in net??:scared:
Yes, but only under the assumption that Anderson starts for the Panthers and not Vokoun.
I wait with that pick until I have the confirmation.
And if Andersons starts I may also take the over 6.

[King_Killah]

I'll update my stuff from Saturday a little later today...

Today's picks:

Detroit -3 over Denver
Cleveland -1.5 over Seattle
Green Bay/Kansas City OVER 38
NY Jets ML @ +180 over Washington
New England -6 over Indianapolis

Good luck.............

I'll be out most of the afternoon at a bar... Haven't checked in the late game yet. I am leaning towards Dallas...

Thoughts?

[suckerpuncher]

For football I have:

Detroit -3
Packers +2
Seahawks +1.5
Buccaneers -3.5
Falcons -3
Dallas -3.5

[King_Killah]

For football I have:

Detroit -3
Packers +2
Seahawks +1.5

Dallas -3.5

Tell me that was a parlay or all on one ticket... The Seahawks killed it if it was... Damn that sucks... Otherwise, awesome day!

[King_Killah]

Alright.... here we go:

Saturday rolled out 2-3
Sunday reversed and went 3-2

NCAA(F): 7-5 / 155
NFL: 10-5 / 555
World Series: 0-1 / 100
NBA: 0-1 / 100
NCAA(B): 0-0 / 000
NHL: 1-5 / 313

Any looks for tonight?? I feel like this Pittsburgh game could fall into a trap type game. The concensus pick is overwhelmingly on Pittsburgh which usually is a bad sign. People thinking the next to no offense in Baltimore won't keep them in the game. 9 is a lot of wood to lay in a Monday Night game. 36 is the total. If Baltimore can pull out at least 10 points, I think they game has the potential to go over.

Thoughts on this game????????????? Please post them. I'll have my pick(s) on this game later.

Philly +120
NYR -140

Pitt -105
NJD -115

Caps +190
Car -230

Buf +120
Mon -140

TB +105
FLA -125

Edm +200
Min -250

Cal +135
Col -160

Dal +135
Ana -160

Hoops:

Houston +5 /
Dallas -5
Total 190

NCAA(B):

Maine +6
Richmond -6

Tenn. Martin +36.5
Memphis -36.5

Not sure if I am feeling any of the hoops action. 36.5 is a large number. Would it be wrong to look at the Flyers on the road in NY?

I'll post any and all picks later this afternoon.

[suckerpuncher]

Tell me that was a parlay or all on one ticket... The Seahawks killed it if it was... Damn that sucks... Otherwise, awesome day!
I made 3 parlays a 3 teams. In 2 of them was that Seahawks game.
Worst thing is that the game looked really good until the Seattle showed that they are one of those NFC West teams.:freak:

But that 1 hit still got me on the winning site.

[suckerpuncher]

I don't take the NFL game tonight. I just can't get a good read on that game.

But I have an eye on a couple of NHL games:

Rangers/Flyers under 5.5
Ducks/Stars under 5
Wild/Oilers under 5
Avs/Flames over 6
Devils ML
Wild -1.5
Panthers -1.5

Not sure if I take all of them. But those are my leans for the day.

[King_Killah]

Alright tonight's action..................................

I am going with Sponge Bong wholeheartedly here... After a quick conversation, she convinced me on tonight's game.

Steelers -9
Pitt/Balt OVER 36.5

Also have:

Calgary/Colorado OVER 6

Good luck...

Sponge here's to you... ;)

[moans]

I have the over 36 in football, the under (5)
in the ducks game, and I took the flames at 2.32 in a combo paying at 12.07:1

[suckerpuncher]

Well done with the NFL picks last night KK. :beer:

For tonight I only have Isles/Rangers under 5 if Lundy starts. So I wait for some news on that.

Also Porto and Chelsea in tonights Champions League.
And also Valencia -1 and Liverpool -1.

[King_Killah]

Only have a 4-team par checked in for now.

NBA:

Orlando Magic ML
NJ Nets ML
Phoenix Suns ML
Chicago Bulls ML

@ +308

----------------

Actually looking at the Nets -4 also, but didn't hit it yet.

Sucker...do you have a winner in the NYR/NYI game?? Or just under the total? I have it basically set as a pick 'em. Both MLs are -110. The Isles -1.5 is at +225 while the Rangers +1.5 is -275. Any thoughts in the Ottawa game also??

[suckerpuncher]

If Lundy sits I'd tend towards the Isles. But if Lundy starts I wouldn't pick a winner.
But since the last 5 games between those 2 have been 1 goal games maybe Rangers +1.5 if you want to pick anything here.


And the Sens should win tonight. They've won 7 in a row and I don't think that the Leafs will beat them in Ottawa. The first 2 games between those 2 this year were also won by the Sens.
But Ottawa has won all their games against fellow Canadien teams by exactly 1 goal so they may not cover the PL.
Unfortunately the lines are pretty low for the ML.

So maybe combine Sens ML and Rangers +1.5 in a parlay (if Lundy starts).

[Sponge Bong Beer Pants]

Alright tonight's action..................................

soo... what's my cut?? :D

Just kidding!

I am glad my boys came through for ya KK!!! :beer: I gave my own brother the same advice and he actually called me nuts and decided against the bet! :lol:

[King_Killah]

NCAA(F): 7-5 / 155

World Series: 0-1 / 100
NBA: 0-2 / 200

Got greedy by adding Chicago to the mix to get it over +300:
Orlando Magic ML
NJ Nets ML
Phoenix Suns ML
Chicago Bulls ML

@ +308

The top three = winners... Chicago those f*ckers...

Alright, alright... Haven't looked at lines yet today. If you got winners post them.

soo... what's my cut?? :D

Just kidding!

I am glad my boys came through for ya KK!!! :beer: I gave my own brother the same advice and he actually called me nuts and decided against the bet!

Did bro just pull the bet altogether or did he go Ravens/UNDER?

he opted to steer clear all together! and I must admit - one of the greatest lessons our parents taught us (by example) - it's never safe to bet on the Stillers b/c they'll pretty much always screw ya :lol:

But of course, I didn't listen right away, as it took TWO losses AT HOME in the AFC Championship games for me to learn that lesson for myself ;)

[suckerpuncher]

So maybe combine Sens ML and Rangers +1.5 in a parlay (if Lundy starts).

Strike. Another 1 goal game between the two NY teams and Ottawa crushed the Leafs. Even the PL would have been a hit but whatever.
Unfortunately the total of the NYI/NYR game was a push.
But nothing lost. ;)

Soccer was 2-2 yesterday. Liverpool covered the -1 easily with that 8-0 win and Porto won 2-1.
Valencia just plain sucks. Rosenborg isn't even competive compared to most of thew other teams in the CL.
And Chelsea was pretty early satisfied with the 1 point and the draw.



For Champions League tonight I have:
ManU -2
Fenerbahce
And a 3 team parlay: Lyon + Arsenal + Manu -1


For NHL I have:
Wings -1.5
Avs -1.5
Penguins ML
Lightning/Panthers over 6


If you have anything just let us all know.

[suckerpuncher]

Quick Update:
ManU wins 4-0
Fenerbahce wins 2-0
Arsenals draw (0-0). :zzz:

But the 2 big ones went trough. :beer:

[King_Killah]

Only took two games tonight... Risked the par action.

BYU -7
Louisville +17

Bailed on pucks tonight.

[suckerpuncher]

That was a horrible performance 2 nights ago.
And I didn't had time to check in yesterday.

Tonight I have:

Panthers ML
Chicago/St. Louis under 5.5
Vancouver/Colorado over 5.5

Atlanta Hawks +8.5

[King_Killah]

Another par f*cked me...

NCAA(F): 7-6 / 55
NFL: 12-5 / 1064
World Series: 0-1 / 100
NBA: 0-2 / 200
NCAA(B): 0-0 / 000
NHL: 1-6 / 413

Only took one game today...which was Bowling Green -3.5 over East Michigan. BG is currently up by 5 with 8 to go in the 4th.

I'll likely have 7 going tomorrow afternoon for NCAA(F). I may chip in some NHL and NBA/NCAA(B).

[King_Killah]

Bowling Green puts me back on track with the win/cover.

NCAA(F): 8-6 / 146
NFL: 12-5 / 1064
World Series: 0-1 / 100
NBA: 0-2 / 200
NCAA(B): 0-0 / 000
NHL: 1-6 / 413

10 picks, 8 plays today... (At least for now).

(12:00) Michigan -3.5 @ Wisconsin
(12:00) Purdue -4.5 vs. Michigan State
(12:00) Penn State -25 @ Temple
(12:30) Tennessee pick em over Arkansas
(3:30) Connecticut +6.5 over Cincinnati
(8:00) Kansas -6 @ Oklahoma State
(Late) Hawaii -17.5 vs. Fresno State

3-play parlay @ +391:
Penn State 1st half -14.5 over Temple
Michigan 1st half -1 over Wisconsin
Justine Henin over Ana Ivanovic

Depending on how the early part of the day goes will determine the later part of the day. Post some hoops and pucks picks if you have 'em.

[King_Killah]

...added:

San Jose Sharks -1.5 over Phoenix.

[suckerpuncher]

I'll take a timeout from hockey for about a week or so.
Right now almost everything goes the wrong way. I could turn gold into sh*t right now. :nuts:
If I'd play your SJ pick than Phoenix would win by a healthy margin. :freak:

But I'll post my NFL picks tomorrow.

[King_Killah]

Gotta say thank you to the Sharks for bringing the day back to respectable. A thank you to sucker for not taking the Sharks ;) goes out as well... But I understand what you are saying sucker. There were games that I was going to take, but gratefully I didn't cause they would have exploded. There were some that I was going to take and should have, but whooda thought?

NCAA(F): 11-11 / 281
NFL: 12-5 / 1064
World Series: 0-1 / 100
NBA: 0-2 / 200
NCAA(B): 0-0 / 000
NHL: 2-6 / 209

Picks for the day. We have 5 NFLers, 1 NFL retarded 6-team parlay, 1 NBA, 1 NCAA(B).

Washington Redskins -3 @ +100 over Philly
Denver Broncos +3 over Kansas City
Jax Jags +4.5 over Tennessee
Arizona -1 over Detroit
NY Giants +2 @ +105 over Dallas

{looking at San Diego in the late game. currently +3.5 is @ +110 or ML is at +175)

The PAR @ +3147:
Jax +4.5, Den +3, AZ -1, Wash -3, Buff -3, Pittsburgh ML

today could be a great day!!!

Hoops:

Sixers ML @ +115 over New Orleans
Michigan -13.5 over Brown

Good luck....................

[suckerpuncher]

KK, I'm with you on the Redskins -3 and Broncos +3.
But I feel the opposite Dallas -2, Detroit ML and the Colts -3.5.

I made a 3/5 parlay:
Redskins -3
Colts -3.5
Detroit ML
Dallas -2
Bears -3


I also like the overs at
Cardinals/Lions over 44.5
Giants/Cowboys over 49
Saints/Rams over 46.5


And an underdog parlay:
Jaguars +5
Denver +3
Dolphins +3

I feel that the Dolphins might actually win today. If they can't win at home against the unconsistent Bills they are heading straight for 0-16 and after their Bye it's now or never for them.

[suckerpuncher]

I also like the overs at
Cardinals/Lions over 44.5
Giants/Cowboys over 49
Saints/Rams over 46.5


Strike 1. ;)


And an underdog parlay:
Jaguars +5
Denver +3
Dolphins +3


Strike 2. :lol:
Dolphins is a push but parlay is still won.


I made a 3/5 parlay:
Redskins -3
Colts -3.5
Detroit ML
Dallas -2
Bears -3


Now I need the Colts -3.5 to get at least something out of it.


But all in all another successfull NFL day already.
Maybe I should just stick with only the NFL for a while. :D

[King_Killah]

I had a stellar day... Added San Diego +4.5, San Diego/Indy UNDER 48, and Jacksonville/Tennessee OVER 36 to the mix. I'll post results and what not tomorrow. Bout to pass out. Hahaha...

[King_Killah]

Nice Sunday bounce back...

NCAA(F): 11-11 / 281
NFL: 18-7 / 1510
World Series: 0-1 / 100
NBA: 0-3 / 300
NCAA(B): 1-0 / 91
NHL: 2-6 / 209

Sixers got whomped. Wolverines covered the 13.5. NFL went off... The over/under on vodka/cranberry drinks for me to consume next Sunday is going to be set at 22. Damn... What a day. F*ck the Colts. Glad they lost. Jerks. Damn Redskins. Could have made that par nice. On SIA, if you have more than a 2-team par... if one pushes the par is still alive. The 6-teamer would have dropped to a 5-teamer with the Buffalo push if Washington could have won and covered. Bastards.

Monday night game?? Anyone?? I would have to think that a subpar Seattle team can beat up a practically non-existent San Francisco team. Right?? The line was 10 at last look. Should Seattle be giving 10 to anyone really? Anyone got the nuggets to take SF though? I don't know. I am looking at the UNDER right now. 36 is the total. One thing that stands in SF's favor. I believe they are going to show up and want to win for Coach Nolan whose pop passed away a few days ago. Coach Nolan is not with the team at the moment. Thoughts on this?? Also looking at the Flyers over the Islanders as one of my pucks plays.

[King_Killah]

San Jose -1.5 again over Phoenix?? This time the price is +130. Hmmm...

SJ has won 5 straight games (all since the begin of this calendar year) against the Coyotes by at least 2 goals. This is likely to coninue tonight.
And since I leave my hands from hockey for some time you can take it. :lol:


As for the MNG.
Seahawks screwed me last week.
And this is one of these NFC West matchup were anything can happen. Seahawks are declining fast and are without SA tonight (maybe not much of a minus anyway) and the 49ers have no real offense at all.
I'm taking the under and leave the spread alone.

Btw. Am I the only one who wouldn't be surprised if the winner of the NFC West has a losing record?

I am on the Sharks -1.5
Got the UNDER in the Monday Night NFL
...and I would be more surprised if the NFC West winner didn't have a losing record. In which case, I think they should forfeit their playoff spot to a team with a winning record!

[King_Killah]

Added Denver -8 over Cleveland. SIA had props bets like Melo vs. Bron last year. Haven't seen any of those this year yet.

That pathetic excuse for an offense from the 49ers sealed the under easily. :D

Notice to self: Next sunday take the spread on the Rams (only -2.5 so far). That's a gift.

I didn't like it being in Phoenix, but as talked about previously, San Jose owns Phoenix!

Doesn't look like a good day overall though. I'll post the updates in the AM.

Flyers teased with the comebacks but couldn't finish it on the shootout. Disappointing.

World Series: 0-1 / 100
NBA: 3-4 / 131
NCAA(B): 2-1 / 256
NHL: 5-9 / 127

Busy card today... 8 picks/7 plays.

NHL:

Devils ML over NY Isles -- Marty wins #500!
Canadiens ML over Buffalo
Minnesota ML over Vancouver -- liked the value against a non-scoring team
Lightning ML over Washington -- whose stopping Vinny L.???

NCAA(B):

Old Dominion -8.5 over Toledo -- just not a fan of Toledo. Should be double digit spread IMO.

NCAA(F):

Hawaii -6 over Nevada -- little nervous over this game. Dropped from 7.5 to 6 so the money is coming in on Nevada. I just don't think Nevada has the offensive power that Hawaii has.

Two-Team Parlay: Central Michigan -14 over Eastern Michigan and OVER 66.5 in that game.

Good luck.

[suckerpuncher]

I'm not playing NHL tonight.

But tomorrow I'll take Russia over Israel in the EURO'08 qualifiers.
Russia needs 2 wins from their last 2 games and the last game is a gimme against Andorra.
So if they beat Isreal they'll advance.
And Israel plays without their top guys and with a lot of young guys and even the Israels goal keeper coach believes Russia will win.

Here in Europe everybody jumps on Russia.
I'm not saying it's a fixed match but it's pretty close. ;)

[King_Killah]

What a shit, shit,shit, shit day.......

Being greedy on plays only makes for a bad day. I know this. :mad:

I have 7 on tap for today. I won't call it greed today since college and NFL days usually consist of 7 picks/plays.

Its a Dog Day today.


(12:00) Kentucky +8 over Georgia
(12:00) Maryland +7.5 over Florida State
(2:30) Duke +7 over Notre Dame --- F*CK DAME!

Russia loses in injury time 1-2. They made the pressure and Israel countered. :dead:
That's unbelievable. They cost a lot of people a lot of money.
I followed the money set on that game and at least 95+ % (1 bookie had a total volume of 3.5 mio. Euro and about 3.4 mio. Euro were on Russia, similar amounts also on other bookies).

I'm really sorry if anyone played the game.:ashamed:
Russia (and anything related) will be on my blacklist forever. They screwed us here for 40+ years and now they just did it again. :mad:

[keyboard]

Good night for me. I teased CHA and MIL to cover -4 and -4.5 respectively. MIL gave me a scare at the end there but they got the win. Even a sucker like me gets lucky once in a while.

NFL Sunday. I'm liking the teaser cards. Anyone else play them?

[King_Killah]

Damn, NHL is hurtin' hardcore... NFL is rollin' nicely. College overall since the re-visit to the thread has been even (hoops and football together). NBA, eh... we can get that back. Hopefully tonight...

NBA:

Memphis -3 over Toronto

6-team 5-pt. teaser

San Antonio -.5 over Orlando -- The Magic have been the hottest team in the NBA, didn't like the 5.5. Could have teased the Magic up to 10.5.
Phoenix -8 over Sacramento
LA Clippers +12 over Denver -- Melo and AI scare me in this one, but I figure tease the home dog up over the road favorite down.
Miami -3 over Atlanta
New Orleans -1.5 over Indiana
Detroit -7 over New York -- What the hell has happened to the Knicks?NCAA(B):

Boston College -3 over Rhode Island

NHL:

Detroit -1.5 over St. Louis
Columbus ML over Florida

Good luck.................

[keyboard]

Doh!Unreal game. 3 point lead with 2 minutes left and the Jets march from their own 20 to PIT's 5. Luckily a penalty forced them to tie it with the FG. Too bad because that meant I had to watch Ben get sacked again, a 30 year return, and a crushing FG to ruin me.

[King_Killah]

Not that great of a day yesterday. I have to stop with the multi-play picks (teasers, parlays) because they have just not worked lately. NHL -- I don't know what is up with that. That one season, I guess it was two seasons ago, I couldn't be beat. Now I can't hit a game.

Anyway... 4 plays on tap for Thanksgiving!

NFL:

Green Bay/Detroit OVER 47
NY Jets/Dallas OVER 48
Atlanta +12.5 over Indianapolis

NCAA(F):

Arizona State ML @ +135 over USC

Tough day. Do you have an NFL game or 2 tomorrow that you absolutely love?? I decided to do Florida SU and parlayed Florida and the under for the 2nd half today and might roll some/all of that house $$. I kinda like the Giants.

put all your money on the Pats, Doc!! :D

0-4-1 for the day.............. Yikes!

Here are my picks for the NFL Sunday (1:00's / 4:00's):

Buffalo +9.5 over Jacksonville
Cleveland -3.5 over Houston
Cleveland/Houston OVER 52

San Diego -9 over Baltimore
Three Team Tease:

Arizona down to -3.5 over San Francisco
Arizona/San Francisco OVER down to 30.5
San Diego down to -2 over BaltimoreJacksonville doesn't really blow anyone out. I'll take the 9.5. Cleveland will out gunsling Houston. That hook could be critical though. San Diego will bounce back against an offense-less team. The tease. Arizona will beat San Fran, but for as shitty as San Fran is, Arizona has no business laying 10+. That over is a little light, banking on the shittiness of San Fran. And well, to bring the tease to a +120 I needed a 3rd. Thinking SD can cover the 9, taking SD to 2 only makes sense.


---- Doc, I like the Giants at home. What are you getting the line at? I am seeing 7.5. I am not a fan of the hook here, especially if Peterson plays. Last look I saw he was still gametime, but I don't think he will play.

---- Fly, that Pats line is up to -24.5. That is f*ckin' unreal! I will take the Patriots tonight laying college ball lumber on that shit. Could it be one of those McNabb goes down and the back-up sparks new life in the Birds thing though, a la Feeley of a few years back and Garcia last year??????

Good luck.

[King_Killah]

Updated as of 1:10am, November 27th.

TOTAL: 51-57-2 / 309

Laid off the MNF game tonight.

Need some help in pucks. Not worried about the NBA. I think we can get that back to the positive shortly. The NHL though. Damn. I am getting f*cked. Sucker, Kam, Doc...anybody. I will take one good play. Whether it is a side or a total. I may go back to the plays I did when I had the huge run. Take one or two games. Moneyline only. Yeah, usually pays small but wins add up. WTF?

[King_Killah]

put all your money on the Pats, Doc!! :D


Guess not, huh??

I was at Dadz with Mosca and the Denatos. I was saying to Mosca that I wouldn't be surprised if we see Philly come out firing like every other time McNabb gets hurt, i.e. Garcia last year, Feeley before that... McNabb sucks and can't get shit done. Feeley isn't bad. I told Mosca go with the over cause that super huge number was ridiculous. Now we see 20 again given to Baltimore. Baltimore though... They need every point given to them. They have no shot. No offense to keep up. Boller? McNair? Yeah right.

[suckerpuncher]

Okay KK. You asked for it.

Anaheim ML - Ducks have won the last 8 games in Vancouver. I know they haven't played great this year away from home with a 3-6-1 record but Vancouver is also only 5-6-1 @home.

Leafs/Habs over 6 - The games between those two teams are almost always high scoring ones.

Wings -1.5 - Wings have won their last 5 home games against the Flames by at least 2 goals and after losing their last 2 games in CLB and in NAS they won't lose 3 in a row and will try dominate right from the start.

GL. :beer:

[suckerpuncher]

KK, if you want someone elses perspective on the NBA you may want to keep an eye on this guy here: http://sholts.blogabet.com/

Not saying you should just blindly play everthing he plays but if you need some inspiration/confirmation it's worth a look.
He gives explanations for his picks in English so you can (dis-)agree with his arguments.

[King_Killah]

Missed out on the Detroit play... I was looking at that earlier and just couldn't get online in time to check that in. I do have three plays.

NHL - Anaheim ML @ +110 over Vancouver
NBA - Denver -7.5 over Indiana
NCAA(B) - Santa Barbara -4.5 over UNLV

Good luck.

Might be a good idea. ;)
But I still think that the Ducks were a good call and I'd probably take them again under the same circumstances..

And poor KK picked the one NHL pick that was a bust. :zzz:

If a game is decided in the SO it's a push. :freak:

Panthers and Sens are pushs :rolleyes:
Blackhawks is won :D
3-team parlay is also won :D (since the Sharks game is ruled a push :rolleyes:)

Ughhhh................ After all this nonsense, since posting plays and picks I am up a whopping nine bucks! Well, the good thing is the one area that I have been hitting is NFL and we have some NFL action tonight. Problem. Not really sure which way I am leaning right now. All week long, up until about 27 minutes ago I was liking Green Bay +7. I was liking GB enough to bang the moneyline @ +225. Not feeling the total either way @ 52. Then we have NCAA(F). Louisville -2.5 vs. Rutgers. This time its in Louisville. I went to the Louisville/Rutgers game last year at Rutgers and probably was the only one who wanted Louisville to win and the only one who took Louisville to win. Louisville has a point to prove. The total here is 60. Not so sure about that one either.

If I were to lock plays in now, I'd take Green Bay +7 and Louisville -2.5. While still looking at NHL and hoops plays. Sucker, I am looking at the Ottawa -1.5 and Atlanta ML. My book has Rangers/Isles total at 5.

Kam...I saw your pick the other day with Vanny over Anaheim. I got enticed by the good value of the Ducks ML. Dammit.

NBA: is there anyway the Knicks beat Boston? Knicks ML is +800, Celtics ML is -1200. Is it worth the risk to take Boston ML for a dollar just to win eight bucks?? Ask Fly, I have always been a fan of "free" money but I will be pissed if the Knicks win. Should I attach the Celtics ML as the back end of a parlay??

I'll post the plays when I lock them in. Any thoughts in the meantime would be awesome.

[suckerpuncher]

I know some other guys who do the NHL and pretty much all of them are in the reds this season. This year it's very unpredictable.
Maybe a sign that the SalCap works and that the teams are closer together in terms of skill level but surely bad for everyone who bets on NHL games right now.



As for the total in the Rangers/Isles. If there are 6 goals were both f*cked. If there a 5 goals I win and you get at least your money back. The last 7 games have been under 5.5 between those 2 so it's worth a try.

I like the Thrashers also because of the Leafs situation. The more the Leafs lose the sooner someone's gone.


I feel like the GB/DAL spread is a trap. I won't touch the spread.
But I like the over. This should be a shootout. Both QB want to prove something tonight. It's Favre vs. "young" Favre. Both teams can match whatever the other team scores.
This might come down to the last possesion and there should be a lot of points on the scoreboard after all is set and done.

DAL/GB over 51.5 for me tonight.

[keyboard]

3-team parlay is also won :D (since the Sharks game is ruled a push :rolleyes:)Wouldn't you have lost this ticket if he didn't count shootouts as a push?

I didn't do it but it looks like I would have won. Sorry for your loss.:(I'm used to it now. I should have done some research, realizing that 3 of GBs DBs were out so they were bound to give up big points.

[King_Killah]

Was out all day.... just got to check in some action.

NBA:
Nuggets -9 over Clippers
Celtics/Heat OVER 185

NCAA(B):
Iowa -7.5 over UL Monroe

NHL:
Sharks -1.5 over Avalanche @ +175

[King_Killah]

I'll update the numbers in a little bit, but here are some NCAA(F) picks for today:

Missouri +3 over Oklahoma -- Missou a much better team now then when Oklahoma faced them earlier in the season. Not so sure than Oklahoma can stay with them and match points. Missouri hasn't scored less than 31 all season long, which happened to be against Oklahoma. Not that Oklahoma can't score, I just don't think it will be decided by more than a FG either way.

Arizona +7 over Arizona State -- Key factor in this game is that AZ States hopes for the PAC-10 title could be squashed earlier this afternoon when USC beats UCLA (not so sure USC will cover the number, but I think a win is in the horizon there for sure). Arizona's offense and offensive line has improved over the last month or so. I don't think its a cake walk for the Sun Devils.

Virginia Tech -5 over Boston College -- About 6 weeks ago, I thought that BC could roll through their schedule and possibly go unbeaten (the week BC was -3 vs. VaTECH and covered 14-10). Then they faced Florida State and Maryland and the results of those two games shit the bed for BC and put a new perspective on what that team really is. It isn't bad, but it isn't great. It got caught up in the New England hype with the Red Sox and the Patriots and the new look Celtics. Clearly this team is not at the same level as those teams, but not too far off. They rebounded and came back as 9-point dogs in Clemson and pushed against Miami. The key to this game is going to be homefield. VaTECH has one of the better homefield advantages as far as their crowd goes. I think it will be loud. I think BC will be disrupted. VT wins by 10.

For shits and giggles, I packed up a three-team ML parlay on "should be gimmes" even though there really isn't such thing as a gimme, right?

California over Stanford
Hawaii over Washington
Troy State over Florida Atlantic

That came at the price of -174.

The cheapest price in that parlay if playing alone was Hawaii's -550 over Washington. Again, on paper looks good. But that's why they play the games, right?

For my NHL debacle...I have:

NY Rangers ML @ +140 over Ottawa
Philadelphia ML @ -145 over Dallas
Columbus +1.5 over Calgary/St. Louis ML over Chicago @ +159

NCAA(B):

Louisville -12 over Miami (OH)

Let's get back into the green numbers and not have to rely on NFL tomorrow. I don't know what I am looking at there just yet. I am thinking Miami Dolphins could get a big play. 1st win of the season is looking good, but we'll attack that later.

[suckerpuncher]

I'll try some NHL action tonight:

Red Wings -1.5 - Phoenix got derailed by the Blackhawks last night and the same will very likely happen again tonight against a rested Wings squad.

Sabres/Canes over 6 - Sabres are back scoring goals almost like last year. And the Canes are always an offensive team.

Leafs/Pens over 6.5 - Another matchup were both teams are able to score and some weaker goaltending on both sides will help too as will the injuries to Gonchar and Kubina.

GL

[suckerpuncher]

Only 1 of 3 in last night NHL.

For NFL I have:

Spending time at the girlfriend's place, so I made a couple of teaser tickets for the entire day.

Sucker, I like your picks but I am going against one. ...and its the one game that could easily end in your favor.

1:00:

Jacksonville +7 over Indy. I think there are too many injuries on the offensive side of the ball for Indianapolis. Harrison is still out. Jacksonville wants this game. They have been playing extremely well on both sides of the ball. ...and Garrard doesn't have to worry about Freeney. I think Jax keeps it close. Wasn't convinced enough of a SU win to take the ML.

Miami -2 over NY Jets. This is it. Miami's 1st win of the season comes today. The Jets are just awful. The Phins, although on the losing side of the coin, have played well, especially intheir last two games (Philly and the slop blow in Pittsburgh). I gotta think they take this one.

Seattle +3 over Philadelphia. The weather here is pretty shitty right now. Snow on the ground. Although not really enough (at this point) to cause a factor, but the weather is supposed to be cold with snow/sleet/rain all day, so that is why I stayed away from the total. Plus right off of 95, there is a ridiculous added chill and wind. This could be a sloppy game.

4:00:

Chicago ML over NY Giants. The spread was only 1.5, so I figured to take the better value at even money then give up the auto-juice. I hate Rex Grossman, but the Giants are back to that bad state that they were in at the beginning of the season.

Tampa Bay/New Orleans OVER 41.5. This one I was going to take the Saints. Garcia though is still questionable and as of the last thing I heard Gruden wasn't making a decision until right around gametime. I think New Orleans could re-establish their offense here, but not so sure their defense can contain the Buccs whoever throws the ball. Looking at a 28-24 type of game.

Good luck......................

I'll get the updated stats in shortly... Was looking around at different lines and games and came across this. Thoughts?!?!


Detroit Red Wings at Montreal Canadiens (http://www.covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/nhl/matchups/g2_summary_1.html) (+120, 5 ½)
Backup goalies with polar-opposite career credentials will likely decide this matchup.
Starting Montreal goaltender Cristobal Huet is out with an injured groin, leaving rookie Carey Price (http://www.covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/nhl/players/player1799.html) to start tonight. Price has compiled a respectable 6-3-1 record this season, but has never faced the Red Wings.
Dominik Hasek will suit up for the Wings after a prolonged absence. He lost his last three starts but has a career 23-10-1 record against Montreal. Detroit is 8-3 in the last 11 versus the Canadiens.
Pick: Red Wings -140


Ottawa Senators at Tampa Bay Lightning (http://www.covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/nhl/matchups/g2_summary_5.html) (+115, 6)
The Lightning lead the league with a 16-9 over/under record and have been padding their high totals recently with seven overs in 10 games (http://www.covers.com/articles/articles.aspx?theArt=156475&t=0#). They are 12-3-1 in games with a total of 6 this season.
The Senators have been scoring well, even though their goals haven't put numbers in the win column. They've lost six straight by surrendering 28 goals, but have racked up 19 scores of their own in that span. The Senators rank eighth in the NHL with 80 goals to their credit on the season.
Pick: over 6

t. Louis Blues at Calgary Flames (-120, 5)
Flames coach Mike Keenan is getting on the case of goalie Miikka Kiprusoff after Calgary stretched its losing streak to four games with an overtime loss to Columbus.
It remains to be seen how Kiprusoff, who only has one win in five starts, will respond. But he does have a 2.27 career goals-against average and 7-2-1 record against the Blues.
Even if the Flames can silence the St. Louis offense, they may find scoring tough. The Blues are best in the league in goals against (http://www.covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/nhl/standings/2007-2008/sortable/standings_ga.html), allowing only 53 all season compared to Calgary's 84 goals allowed.
Pick: Blues +100

I think I like the Blues pick, but with the way I have been rolling in NHL plays... I don't know.

Scary thing is I like all 3. :eek:

The Habs just blew the game against the Preds and the Wings play at a different level than the Preds even with Hasek between the pipes.

TB scores and the Sens score but the Sens also surrended a bunch of goals lately. Everything indicates an over 6 here.

And the Blues just played better hockey this year. And the Flames have their share of injuries.


And I also like the over 5.5 in the Leafs/Preds game. Both teams can score and they will score tonight again.

I am rolling with the three looks listed in the last post. What do I have to lose? Can't do any worse than picking myself, right?!

St. Louis Blues ML @ +105 over Calgary
Detroit Red Wings ML @ -140 over Montreal
Ottawa/Tampa Bay OVER 6

Any thoughts on the Nashville (+115)/Toronto (-135) game (total 5.5)?

NBA teaser @ +120:
Phoenix down to -1 over Indiana
LA Lakers down to -3 over Minnesota
LA Clippers down to +3 over Milwaukee

Kinda concerned betting both LA teams in the same night. I also believe the last time I went against Indiana, I was on the losing end. Phoenix though? Something about Phoenix at -1 looks too good to be true.

Good luck.

Spending time at the girlfriend's place, so I made a couple of teaser tickets for the entire day.

Celtics vs. Cavaliers -5
Jaguars @ Colts +16½
Chargers @ Chiefs +4

Trail Blazers @ Spurs +22
Bears vs. Giants +11
Browns @ Cardinals +10

Good luck, everyone.6 for 6. A good Sunday.

Any thoughts on the Nashville (+115)/Toronto (-135) game (total 5.5)?I made a ticket, parlaying NSH +1.5 and TB/OTT over 6. It's +165, which isn't too bad at all. Good luck.
