Now before I even hear it, I know I am laying more than -140 here.  My -140 limit is for one game wagers only.  One game anything can happen, but over the course of 4 or more games you get to the "long run"  So yes I will lay more on series wagers, but when it gets to -300 or so I usually lay the -1.5 games.  This is a low line because of all the Pens love out there.  Joe Blow still thinks Mario and the Pens. If you are a rangers backer hit this like right now.  If you will back the Pens wait a couple of days and get a better payback. 

Rangers -200

Also it's pretty rare for a 1st round series to not have a fave of more than -200.

I thought this was mighty low as well.  I plan on doing the same thing.  I was also gonna but a decent amount on the -1.5 games.  Thoughts on that??

Yah know for the low price of -200 I wouldn't roll the dice there.  I think they end up winning 4-1 or 4-2.  But why take a chance with -200

That's true.  I guess I was letting greed cloud my judgement.  Plus, part of me just inherently hates laying that much juice lol.  Even if it is over a course of 7 games, which is not that much when you think about it.  

Always appreciate it Lipps

Well as you know you can already toss that Pens future ticket.  Sens, that's a hot team right now and they have peaked at the correct time. Could be possible.

So as long as they win your safe but you won't win anything if it goes 7 games, but you still get to take your shot of better odds. Basically the same way you make a -1 puckline.
Ah, yeah, I didn't think about that. I may do that.  Good looking out PB

If pens had no shot they wouldn't be such small dogs....rangers are overrated.

Nash will do nothing again....scoring will be low...Pens have injuries otherwise they'd roll them

If, if if, but they do.  If they didn't then it would be a pickem.  The reason they are such small dogs is because the line isn't made on what the actual odds should be, it's made on public perception. 

Pens are history, burn your Pens wager slip

The perception is pens are garbage and chokers...history is long gone. ...The odds are what they are...no one is -300 for a reason....because the nhl is a joke....

Like all you guys think kings are great because they win cup. ..they are garbage like every other team just got lucky...Now there luck is out and they sit at home and another team will get lucky.

It wont be the rangers winning the cup that's for sure.

-200 is a good price all things considered.

I really like Tampa too and might parlay both.

I am waiting for lines to pound a few dogs.

so you are going to completely disregard how bad Fluery has been in the playoffs or the fact the pens number 1 D pairing is Lovejoy/Cole...... Rags are scoring goals in bunches this series and with the defense and goaltending the rags have, PIT has a VERY little shot of winning this series. the line is where it is, is because books want 50/50 action, if they had set it at -300, pens would have been pounded, and if somehow the pens won their series, the books would be in major trouble.

Yes any team that wins is lucky.  And if you think the NHL is a joke then why wager on it or even be in the fourm ?
