Angels (T. Anderson) -117 vs Toronto (Berrios)

Berrios looking awful.

Anderson looking great.

This was a nice bet. I tailed you on this one. Worst part was I had about $500 cash on me and just went to a kiosk around the corner. I took the Angels -1.5 +175. So I started feeding $50s into the machine and it cut off at $300 and wouldn’t take more. So I printed out ticket and had to put the last $200 in, and I accidentally hit Blue Jays for +1.5 for last $200.

Couldn’t cancel ticket because the kiosk is in a bar, so I run to bank machine and bank was closed, so I grabbed another $500 from ATM to offset the wager as I had Angels -1.5 +175 and Blue Jays +1.5 -215. The $200 was only going to pay less than a $100 profit. So come back and bet the Angels again for another $500 at -1.5 and ML half on each, with the idea if they won by 1, at least it was a hedge of sorts where I scoop the misclick and the ML bet. So now I have multiple Angels tickets and a retarded Blue Jays +1.5 bet. When it was 5-3 Blue Jays I was thinking it was going to be my only winner, but it came through and we hit everything besides the misclick.

Haha nice

I hate when that happens. It pains me so much to pay the juice for misclick fixing.

Lots of high scores so far. That's why I've avoided unders, except my very first pick.

Now I'm 5-2, where I'm 0-2 with the Cards and 5-0 for everything else.

White Sox (Cease) -128 at Minnesota (Maeda)

Cease has 18 K through 2 starts.

[Dan Druff]

You'd think my pick would be safe when the White Sox have 4 runs and the Twins have just 3 hits.

Nope... 4-3 nail biter in bottom 7th.

Carolina u6.5 -110
Nashville u5.5 -110
Islanders u5.5 -110
Florida u6.5 -120
Winnipeg/Leafs u7 -120

All unders today nhl.

Since another MLB pick hit for me, let's celebrate by doing a hockey dog.

Chicago +201 vs Minnesota

[Daly]

Carolina u6.5 -110
Nashville u5.5 -110
Islanders u5.5 -110
Florida u6.5 -120
Winnipeg/Leafs u7 -120

All unders today nhl.

Good god….. i sent in almost the exact same card.

[simpdog]

Carolina u6.5 -110 win
Nashville u5.5 -110 win
Islanders u5.5 -110 loss
Florida u6.5 -120 loss **this was winnipeg
Winnipeg/Leafs u7 -120 win

All unders today nhl.

3-2 +0.70 units. Was hoping for 4-1 . Washington/Islanders game was 3-0 with 5 mins to go. 4 goals (2 empty net) hurts.

[Dan Druff]

Stung hard on that Blackhawks game.

2-1 Chicago with 6 min to play, ended up losing 4-2. Imagine if you had +1.5!

Anyway, I'm expecting the Wild to have a letdown today, especially given how they didn't play well against crappy Chicago for all but 6 minutes yesterday.

Winnipeg +104 at Minnesota

Not quite sure Of Druff’s Chicago handicap. Being an NBA aficionado you would think he would appreciate the finer points of tanking.



Serious question: why do tanking NHL teams refuse to sit players like the NBA?

I will concede the tanking teams have been playing hard and it’s been squirrelly af.

Jack Hughes Devils is chasing 100 points (point = either a goal or assists). He’s @ 96. Team mates will be feeding him and expecting him to be selfish.

Bruins (Ullmark and playing everyone) regulation and Hughes over 1.5 points = +169

Bruins reg and Hughes over 3.5 shots = +135


I will wait for playoffs. Full efforts and less psychology

Penguins have to win tonight and blackhawks have nothing to play for….


NHL [67] CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS +450 400.00 USD / 1800.00 USD

I cannot dissuade people of the “must win” narrative. In today’s professional sports playoff structures you are a confirmed bottom feeder trying to get into the top HALF of the league. You basically suck.

Everyone makes it to the playoffs in all leagues unless you have MS.

4.5:1 isn’t wrong generally cause intuition tells you the average ‘mo is betting the “must win” so you are chock full of nutrition and fluffy money. I didn’t even look at the game but maybe I will

Upon reflection. It’s still a tanking spot. Can’t get past it. Literally millions and millions of dollars at stake. Good luck

Penguins were a GIFF team this year and tonight feels like a smack down spot. Just an observation. My doctor says it’s not good for my nerves.

[simpdog]

Hawks 1-9 last 10
Anaheim 0-8-2 last 10
Arizona 1-7-2 last 10

Appear to be the only 3 teams tanking.

Philly and Columbus in the East are tanking a bit.

It took a while to get to this point (I lost some bets thinking it would start earlier).

[simpdog]

Nhl tonight

Leafs/Tampa. No Marner, No Matthews. Under 6.5 -110 for me. You could go the other way and go Tampa -1.5 but I don't trust them.

Winnipeg/Minny under 5.5 +100.

Buffalo/Jersey under 7 -120


MLB 2-1 +1.00 units

Jays -1.5 -135.

[Dan Druff]

I've decided to fire on Colorado tonight.

Let me count the ways:

1) Kyle Freeland has surprised everyone with two excellent starts.

2) Miles Mikolas has surprised everyone by looking really, really bad in his two starts. He's given up 10 runs and 19 hits in his first 2 starts. The only thing he's done well is avoiding walking people (12 K, 1 BB).

3) Mikolas has been historically bad at Coors Field.

4) Rockies tend to be tough at home, even during fail years. Here you're getting a nice price on them.


Colorado (Freeland) +155 vs St. Louis (Mikolas)
