#1 Posted: 4/23/2012 12:18:44 PM I'm addicted to them. Do you guys think it's worth the juice?
I got the Ottawa Senators +1.5 for -320

#2 Posted: 4/23/2012 12:24:13 PM Laying -300 in each game you gotta win 75% just to break EVEN. So if you're addicted to them, I hope you're hitting at an 80%+ clip.

#3 Posted: 4/23/2012 12:36:07 PM Yeah, I know it's a lot of juice. I don't always bet a line this high. I usually stick to plus lines or between -100 to -200.
I didn't like anything else today. NBA and MLB lines didn't stick out for me today.
So, I was forced to pick some NHL action and I felt the Senators puck line was the safest bet.
Ive been on fire the last few days so I'm betting house money.

#5 Posted: 4/23/2012 12:40:04 PM The way the Rangers have been scoring it would be really tough for them to win by 2, but -300 is right at that iffy number, low 200s I'd definitely like it. GL if you decide to go with it.
I should say, GL on the Sens losing by exactly 1.

#7 Posted: 4/23/2012 1:48:52 PM +1.5 is a great way to go in the playoffs, but the juice is nutty.
The empty netter can be a killer too. |

#8 Posted: 4/23/2012 5:58:05 PM 320 to win a 100 is a crazy bet but I have the cash so I thought what the hell.
If it comes down to an empty netter that will be a nerve racking minute.
The home team in a playoff game to close out the series seemed like a risk worth taking.

#9 Posted: 4/23/2012 6:07:09 PM thats basically the reason i would never lay that juice on a +1.5 puckline because even if they are down by 1 with a couple minutes remaining it is complete luck whether there will be an empty netter. Laying -300 where you not only need your team to stay close but also get lucky in the end just can't be a winning formula

It's been awhile since I had something like that go my way.
