October

wildrice - 4/2
qfm - 3/2
stevieo - 0/6

[Mad$ella]

I won $100 this last weekend betting on NFL.

I bet on:

Cin. over Hou.
Atl. over Min.
Oak. over Dal.
Ind. over Ten.
TB. over Det.
NYG. over Stl.

I had these teams on a combination of three different tickets and won just over $100. As for hockey, I am not too sure... with the new rules and so many players have changed teams, its hard for me to have picks that are going to be overly concrete.

[stevieo]

Hocket Picks for October 5th 2005 Sports Select Proline
NYR PHI 2.90 7.00 1.45
ATL FLA 2.20 6.40 1.75
OTT TOR 1.95 6.00 2.00
SJ NSH 1.90 6.10 2.05
CGY MIN 1.80 6.30 2.15
LA DAL 2.40 6.60 1.65

My picks for tomorrow night, going to macs right now hahaha.

try not to pick the team you like (aka me picking the flames) becuase it sometimes BIASes (spelling?) your pick.

say you like some crappy team like the raptors, and they play the spurs - you will 90% of the time pick raptors even though you KNOW the spurs will win because the raptors are plagued with injuries and suckyness haha.

pikc the team that you know does well against the other - know the injuries if any, know streaks (hot and cold) find out whos playing net and such. who starts? how well they do on the road how well they play at home. but also take into account upsets happen and shit.

sometimes I make 2 tickets, one for serious picks (drop more money on this ticket 10+ for me anyways) and one just for fun (2-5 dollars) the fun ticket I pick a few ties, and upsets. if I win on my fun ticket I win BIG but chances are I won't win.

not that hard...haha msn me if you got questions f00!

[Mad$ella]

For tomorrow:

Fla over Atl
NJ over Pit
SJ over Nsh
Cgy over Min
Dal over LA
Edm over Col
TB over Car
Van over Phx
Phi over NYR

Two tickets, $50 and $178 potential prizes.

[stevieo]

for Tie to go down it would have to finish with a tie until shootout begins. then the game is a tie, doesn't matter who won in shootout. sport select chooses to do it that way.

sooo.. to make myself clear
a game is tied (for sport select) from regulation to the end of sudden death o/t, so if they are still tied after that going into shootout the game is considered a tie.

[Darkenergy]

Hey I'm kinda new to this so what is over/under and you can bet on these wherever they sell 6/49 right????

[stevieo]

Originally posted by Darkenergy

yes, you can buy these at places that sell lottery tickets.

Over/Under is about the total points/goals both teams accumulate.

for example
61 18:00 17:00 HKY MTL BOS 2.20 6.40 1.75 1.75 6.5 1.65

Montreal at Boston
the over/under would be 6.5, if you picked over it pays 1.75 times what you bet, if you pick under it pays 1.65 what you bet. (bolded numbers)

so you bet that they score over 6.5 goals, game ends up being Montreal 4 Boston 2, you lose, totals up to 6 goals when sport select set 6.5 goals as the margin.
pretty simple.

[Mad$ella]

GO FLAMES GO

I am wearing the Jersey today, first time in almost 2 years... :eek:

[cman]

we had another thread on this a while ago.
i use www.pinnaclesports.com now based on another member directing me there.

[qmf]

boooo.......calgary lost. 5 goals on kipper wtf?
Pittsburg got there ass handed to them, Jagr killed Philly.
Damn.....
Hopefully a win by Edm can save my $$$

[wildrice]

BAH!
So I go out and buy 2 tickets today.

Serious ticket:
PHI to win over NYR - Loss
TB to win over CAR - win
DET to win over STL - win
CGY to win over MIN - LOSS! ARG!
DAL to win over LA


out on a limb ticket:
EDM over COL
OTT & TOR tie - TIE!!!
PHI over NYR - loss
TB over CAR - win
DET over STL - win
CGY over MIN - loss

Damn...lesson of the day. never bet for calgary cuz it made me bias like stevieo said.

:(:banghead: :banghead: OMFG! I actually won the tie!!

[stevieo]

haha, thats the last time i will be betting on my favorite teams (Ottawa, Calgary, Atlanta)

Jagr destroyed Philly..
WTF IS UP WITH LA, 4 goal lead blows it and loses 5-4.

[wildrice]

My bets for today.

61 18:00 17:00 HKY MTL NYR 2.00 6.00 1.95 1.70 6.5 1.70 NYR
62 19:00 18:00 HKY DET STL 1.60 6.70 2.50 1.55 5.5 1.90 DET
63 21:30 20:30 HKY PHX LA 2.30 6.50 1.70 1.75 6.5 1.65 LA

[Mad$ella]

Lost... :(

I think I am going to stick with football.

[qmf]

Dammit, so the OTT vs Tor was a Tie, that sucks, could've have $40 off of $5 (Ticket was Mtl to win, Ott to win, Edm to win)

Today's I agree with NYR, DET, LA $20 = hopefully $100
Good luck to all......:thumbsup:

[stevieo]

I'm going for a fun bet tonight..

MTL - DET - PHO for 5 bucks if I win i win 40 its all good.

[slick2404]

For tonight

Nashville, Corolorado, Vancouver, and New York

Damn Sens ruined me last nite, woulda made a nice pull

[88CRX]

Nashville has to loose sooner or later.... I'm going with Chicago tonight i think. Along with Colorado and Vancoucer, and possibly Atlanta

[88CRX]

ATL > NYI
VAN > MIN
EDM < COL

and

FLA < PIT
CHI > NASH
EDM < COL

plus a over/under ticket.

[qmf]

friggen ottawa, had the bosten Tie to..... :thumbsdow

For BBL I think CHW wins tonight
Min, Col, Mtl

[lastprodigy]

^ took houston tonight


As much of a canucks fan as I am, I dont know about them and the Wild, I really need to seem em play a coupl more games against each other before I can bet with confidence. Vancouver, albeit the better team, hasn't exactly had their number.

I like 88CRX's pics for tonight...might go with van anyways.

[stevieo]

nyi, pho, la, phi, chi, min, pit (get their first win tonight haha), edm

[qmf]

Woohoo another $10 profit from yesterday off the combo, damn Min. losing :thumbsdow That would've been nice if they won.

I think Carolina tonight, they did beat Ottawa there last game after being down 2-0 to the Senators.

Nashville, Carolina, Buffalo

[wildrice]

nj,nsh,buf,dal, & bos-car tie

[stevieo]

i m just posting predictions, it seems whenever i bet i lose more than i win.

BUF, CAR, CLB, TB, DAL, CGY

buffalo has a mean streak against washington
carolina is hot, they are motivated and have momentum after ending ottawa's winning streak.
i only picked columbus because i think they can be the team that ends nashvilles winning streak.
tb seems to have a new jerseys numbers and do well in the gardens
dallas will beat sj just cause they won't feel motivated with toskala in net
calgary is feeling hardcore momentum after coming back from 2-0 deficeit against the kings to win the game with 2 pp goals.

[stevieo]

50% last night haha.

anyways..

Toronto
NY Islanders
Philly
Ottawa
Pitts
Chicago (I have a massive gut feeling chicago will wintonight)
Colorado
Phoenix (face it flames suck on the road)
