There is too many variables to get into, but basically a struggling goalie in Halak, with the second worst defense in the league, on top of that islanders are 5th in the league in scoring. Anaheim can score plenty and they will either have a rusty Anderson or a at best average goalie in Labarbera between the pipes. I love the over.

Great call on your tie General! Nailed it with 8 seconds left, knew we would get paid back on some of our near misses!

Yeah we deserved that one. Was pretty close half the game. Lets hope for the over now.

Sucks Perry and Getzlaf got scratched last minute but hopefully we can still pull off the over.

As i said, what goes around comes back around!

Last time we lost a tie as the goal came against us 20 seconds before the end and this time the goal came FOR us, just 8 seconds till the end, making this a winning night.

Good work General, keep going!

Was close to a good night. Really unfortunate Perry and Getzlaf were scratched last minute, took out major offense for us. Nothing you can do with things like that. 


MTL PL -1.5 2.80 (+180) - LOSE $100
DET@NYR TIE 3.88 (+288) - WIN $388
NYI@ANA OVER 5.5 1.85 (-117) - LOSE $100

Overall cost of single bets: $300
Overall winnings: $388
Overall profit: +$88, +0.88 units



Parlay:
MTL ML 1.54 (-185)
NYI@ANA OVER 5.5 1.85 (-117)
Odds: 2.85:1, +185, Bet $100 (1 unit) to win $285, $185 profit - LOSE $100, -1 unit






2014-2015 NHL Season Single Record to Date: 62W - 69L

Method: Flat betting Single picks 1 Unit ($100)


Starting Bankroll: $10,000
Current Bankroll: $11,105

Total Single Bet Profit in $: +$1105
Total Single Bet Profit in Units: +11.05 units


Thus far in the 2014-2015 NHL season, overall single bet profit is +11.05 Units, or $1105 flat betting $100 per pick


Parlay record is 0W-7L, -$700, -7.00 Units

As you can clearly see, bankroll management is so important. We are up 11+ units with single bets, but down 7 units with parlays.
If you do not have a large bankroll, than stick to singles. I have no doubt I will be profitable with small parlays added to singles because of my edge, and more importantly, I have 100 units to bet. Now if I had 25 or even 50 units, I would not bet parlays because my chances of going broke are much higher. 

Controlling variance is key. Another method is keeping your parlay units much smaller to counter the increased odds of winning. I personally don't do this, but you can if you use a smaller bank roll.

What you choose to do is really up to you. You can bet the ML picks only, or totals, or ties, etc... but just make sure you keep
each play to 1 unit, and 1 unit max for your parlays if you bet them. Just manage your money and no matter how much you love a play, don't go big on it.

Good luck to everyone!

HI General,

If you are confident enough to put bos, lak, and Stl in a parlay, why not make them single picks as well?
Just curious

BOL

BOL



I guess he doesn't find any value at 1.47-1.61 and he is not confident enough at those picks to play them as PL. Just my thought.

Agree there. Definitely no value in taking anything less than -145 as a single play
