I was thinking about taking a parlay, something I often do with success. I usually take two teams, one with a -1.5 puckline and one with a regulation -.5 win. 20 to win 70 usually, depending on the puck line odds. Teams that often hit this include:
Washington: -1.5, today at +200, or -.5 at -105 (makes zero sense that a -.5 would be so low and a puckline would be so high Florida: -1.5, today at +150, or -.5 at -125 New York Rangers in today's game specifically: -1.5 at +140, -.5 at -120. My typical strategy would be to likely take Florida -1.5, they're dominant and score a lot of goals, and wash -.5. They haven't cleaned up as much of late and I'm concerned against playing the coyotes, they're not that good but they seem to matchup well against good teams. A 30 dollar wager would win 81.11. So about 1 in every 4 wins would lose you around 10 dollars. 1 in every 3 wins would net you 20 and 1 in every 2 wins would net you 50. I think these both have a good chance of hitting at least 1 in 3 times. That is how I balance risk and reward. However, today I may take a 3 teamer, just for shits. Im also going to go balls out with this parlay. I'm up quite a bit so no sweat. Florida -1.5 (+150) Wash -1.5 (+200) NYR -1.5 (+140) 30->450. I know, it's an absurd bet. But let's hear some thoughts on the picks and strategies of your own. |

Chicago has ALL the momentum and they're playing at home. They played with no energy in game 4. It was pathetic. They've rejuvenated and they have confidence and timing back. They WILL win.

I feel the Rangers are gonna win. Boston struggled and while I thought Washington was the better team NYR put the nail in with good play in the last game. If ny plays a hard three periods boston doesn't win tonight. Plus if moho is correct and they have 3 men out im looking for a slaughter.

Montreal has been absolutely atrocious the last few months. They must have played absolutely incredibly early on, otherwise there's no possible way they'd have made it to the playoffs. They absolutely suck and I hope they get destroyed.

I like the odds on the -1.5 KC to win especially because of the pitching matchup... But the odds aren't bad and I think they pull it out. if they lose though you're happy you took the cheap -1.5

I like montreal but they have screwed me several times in a row against teams they should destroy... If they get a convincing win ill be back on the wagon

I believe in my stars. They've been playing with heart and they won't let up just because they're playing a talented team. As some said it might just be a perfect storm. Lay a small unit down at + odds and have fun with it....

I'll take SJ and the over for a minimal investment. Come on Sharks let's do something different. That is if your not trying to get Todd canned, and someone wake up Rip Van Marleau. He's not supposed to go to sleep UNTIL they get into the play-offs... If you're so uncertain then why are you taking them?? Clearly they suck lately and L.A. has been dominant. With a few days rest I don't see S.J. putting up the kind of periods necessary to outplay the Kings.

Due to the fat payout Im receiving in the next few days for all of the beuatiful bets I made I'm gonna shy away from the parlay with Pitt and Over, but I would highly recommend it if you aren't playing conservatively today. Pittsburgh can score 4 just in the first in close games and Boston is no slouch either. This one should hit by the mid-nd period.

I just wrapped up an 8 bet winning streak on the NHL, and finished up this week with a 20-4 record for a nice +20 units. MY best streak was last year when I hit 13 in a row on NHL

Don't take Ottawa who has struggled lately, especially with how good Boston has been. Also the first game back person theory is a worthy reason to sit and watch this one.

Calgary will try hard to get this win but L.A. is too fast, too young, and too good to be beaten by them. L.a. is also far to ferocious in the 3rd to be beaten by a really bad team. Taking the puck line here.
-1.5 @-155

There's really zero justification for not continuing to take the hawks. ESPECIALLY at -140
