Art Bell's Insightful, Profitable & Sharp Plays!!

W1-L2 Profit:$-1860
Ok, I've made 3 exceptionally solid value picks of which 2 of them could have gone either way. I've always maintained as long as you see value in a play you will be profitable in the long run! Trust me, I'm just around the corner to going on a hot streak so be patient.
The NY Islanders are the sleeper team of the East. GM Garth Snow has made some brilliant acquisitions during the off season that has put this team in a spot to be very competitive. Picking up a legit #1 goalie J.Halak to replace the ancient Nabakov was crucial. Adding Boychuk & Leddy 2 veteran D-Men with Stanley Cup Championship pedigree doesn't hurt. What I love about this team is the forwards are young, fast and ever improving. As the old adage goes "speed kills". The Islanders can score in bunches but their past downfall was horrendous defensive blunders matched with despicable goaltending. They've addressed those issues & are 4-0 to start. This is a team on a mission so don't sleep on them.
The Penguins will always be an overvalued team in due part of public's perception, having 2 of the best NHL players (Malkin/Crosby), and their offensive firepower. This team isn't any better than years prior and losing James Neal will put a damper on things. New forward acquisitions of Downie and Hornqvist only marginally improves this roster. While I do like the addition of Erhoff on D for his offensive tangibles, it's usually at the cost of defensive blunders.
To make this short, this game will be decided by goaltending. Between Halak & Fleury I'll back the proven and reliable Halak. It's more of an automatic fade of MAF because he is such a terrible #1 goalie.

W1-L3 Profit:$-3860
It's a long season and anyone who thinks they'll win every bet is delusional. Cold streaks are just a part of the game, but minimizing them is what separates the sharps to losing bettors. Not even I am immune to losing streaks. Suffice to say, let's right the ship, steer ahead and make some money!
Only one game on the docket for today and thankfully I have this game dissected accordingly. I will Martingale the Oiler's until they win their 1st game. I like this strategy because
a) I have the bankroll to sustain the losses
b) The general public will bet against the Oiler's thus increasing line value each successive game they lose
c) A win is statistically inevitable in their next 3 games or less (strictly looking at the #'s)
The Oiler's are slowly showing signs of improvement. The ineptitude of the management namely the Owner,President,GM & Coach is preventing this team from being top contenders. No fault unto the team since we have a formidable collection of players with incredible talent, youth and potential waiting to be unleashed. RNH, Draisatle, Eberle, Hall, Yakupov just to name a few. These are as Blue-Chip as they come however consistency is a real issue. A team willing to play a high tempo up & down game seems to bring the best out the aforementioned.
Cue the visiting TB Lightning...
This is an average team made into a great team solely because of one player: S.Stamkos. Arguably the NHL's most prolific pure goal scorer and a gifted sniper. The devastating loss of the heart & soul of the team aka Marty St.Louis was equally a game changer. Night after night this team is bailed out by Stamkos as he literally carries this team on his back as a one man wrecking machine. Additions of Boyle, Callahan, Morrow, Garrisson were side grades at best. On a night to night basis, I conclude that without meaningful contributions by Stamkos or B.Bishop this team is vulnerable. And to further complicate matters stud defenseman V.Hedman is injured and unable to play.
Expect to see an imbalanced penalties discrepancy in favor of the home team. Expect lots of rushes, open ice 2on1's, giveaways, breakouts and breakaways. Hence, I foresee a high scoring game with a lot of goals and the Oiler's being the ones capitalizing on their many PP chances. If we get half decent containment on Stamkos and steady goaltending it's invariably the Oiler's game to lose.
Again, this team will not want to lose at home in front of their extremely loyal and faithful fans. Critical emphasis will be placed on the coach to have this team at its best as he is on the hot seat. We may very well see the proverbial "overlooking a poor team" and therefore come out flat, disinterested and complacent. Look for any reason for the ref's to give the Oiler's an advantage knowing full well the league has a internal unwritten parity mandate.

Oilers +145 ML $5000 (expect the line to get better closer to game time)

this guy is clearly 'clueless' when it comes to the NHL. "I'm going to bet the Oilers until they WIN, and have the Bankroll to Martingale them in the process" sure you do little fella! anyone taking this thread serious needs their head examined, and if you even remotely believe ArtBell is betting 5k on the Oilers tonight you may need a reality check asap..You called Lipss, nothing here but monopoly money, and concept, connect to the mind of a 16 year old wanna be talking schit, starving for attention, and trying to establish some wierd form of recognition, but why through the NHL forum? So now you are going to chase ? LOL Also now you wager $5000 of Monopoly money to get even.
Then they have the Caps coming into town next. Well at least you have a shot when the Canes come in after that for that $15000 wager.

No not in a million years, you've watched too many movies
But if the public does start betting on the dog by a noticable jump... The odds will rise for the favorite... Correct?

technically yes but its based on $$ not tickets. if you have one $1000 ticket on the fave and 10 10$ tickets on the dog this wont happen. big $ bets move lines.
not a savior
