Did you really agree to accept a horrible +170 on the Senators -1.5? Many books have -1.5 +205.

@Mskeets  If Utah gets outshot 32-12 again like Game 3, this series will be 2-2.  Like Vegas tonight either way. peace_5

Leaning Pens of Guin - more playoff XP in Pitts Big 3, and almost none on entire Philly roster.  I think Silovs plays too.  Skinner will be a backup next year.  Lean Pens.an_cheers

@Crazy_Train  peace_5

 

2026 data:

Game 1:  2,7,5,3,7,7,6,7    5.5 5-3  6 Flat 4-3-1

Game 2:  3,5,6,5,6,5,3,10  5.5 3-5  6 Flat 1-5-2

Game 3:  7,7,4,3,6,5,6,11  5.5 5-3  6 Flat 3-3-2

Game 4:  6,5,6,7,6,5,7,      5.5 5-2  6 flat 2-2-3***

*** Pending Utah Vegas tilt tonight

 

So betting a lot at 6 does impact the results significantly.  Let's assume tonight goes Under:

5.5    record is 18-14-0   requires odds of  -130 or better to profit

6 Flat record is 10-14-8   requires odds of +140 or better to profit

 

Books totals have corrected for this in recent years, so system not a solid a play this year, with so many 5.5's juiced forcing a run to flat 6.  Looking at 5 Flat, the record is 18-7-7 (I assume a score total of 4 or less for tonight).  That is implied odds of 72% and you'd need -259 odds or better.

Both games tonight 5 Flat at FD are -250 & -260... an_roll_laugh

peace_5 Thanks for all the work w this DY… been just blindly trying this w smallish units just enjoying the games, fun to not have a side sometimes and enjoy playoff hockey!

So the system is just the first 4 games right? This means the degen in me needs something on the 5th pens game and u lean the pens way huh?

Goodness.  Had no idea of shots on goal…. I’m going Vegas tonight.   Has any team come back to win from 0-3… this Pitt series feels like it could… I was surprised by games 0-3… but did not play either… maybe 2 teamer  with Vegas n Pitt.   Will do a little of that.

surprised This game is turning into bat sheesh crazy where is CT and his system when you need it!!! but hey, I’m liking it because I’ve got this over so I’m hoping it comes through like it might and that Pitt Moneyline in a parlay so….

was wondering about over in the initial first four games in series of the playoffs…, And somebody said something about the first game not so much, maybe it’s just games two through five, or maybe the four games of two through six??? 

well I’m not looking into that tonight lol let’s enjoy this!!! an_2drinks
