Man...that's awesome, much respect for you. I was a darn off in high school so I had to go the junior hockey route....thankfully, I was able to turn my self around later in life in terms of work ethic and responsibility....thanks for your post and good luck buddy

Enjoy your threads 

Cheers pal 

Thanks, Longknock

Love talking hockey and always appreciate the insight from you and others...have a great weekend

Its funny how sometimes I get those feelings.

I predicted that washington had to win and would start a little run...sure enough, 3 game winning streak and me betting on TB last night.

However, I am more on trends than most of you guys....If Anaheim hasnt won at the JOE in X amout of years...My money goes on Detroit no matter what...Why you might ask? Because if I bet on Detroit everytime Anaheim played them in the last X amount of years, ID BE RICH!

Ive also noticed AMD that youve been on the right side of favorable OT and SOs.

The last 5 OTs and SOs that I have bet on have all lost...That is 0-5.  Jesus darn!

THe luck I have lately has been terrible.  It has all started 4-5 monhts ago when Seattle completed a SO CALLED TD hail mary pass against Green Bay!  Ever since then Ive been snakebitten...Whether it be Duke in College Football fumbling on the 1 yard line with 1:30 minutes left and then having the other team score 2 Tds ( not one Touchdown ) to cover the 9+ spread or it be the Wings winning 2-0 and losing in OT to the Blues or it be the Hawks winning and having Anaheim tie the game with 2 minutes left and then winning is a SO or whether it be last night when I took Minny in CBB...They tie in regulation..only to win by 5 when I had -5.5.  The funny part...Minny has the ball with 33 seconds left up 3 and Wisconsin doesnt foul until 15 seconds left on the clock...Why the hell wouldnt Wisconsin foul right away????

Anyways....It is a combination or both with Intuition and trends..but I way more on trends...if a team has beaten the other team 9-10 times at home...Im willing to put my money on the same team.

Its like betting against the Hawks cuz they havent lost yet in Regulation..in the long run you will win money with better statistics and trends!

But again, just My OPINION that MEANS JACK SH.IT!

I remember reading about you suggesting that Washington would go on a run but I can't argue your Tampa play last night because I was leaning the same...However, I layed off because Tampa hasn't been in sync in the last two weeks, they are the most inconsistent teams that I can think of at this point. But...I can relate to your frustration as I had a few leans on some dogs who ended up winning and instead, I played San Jose in a 1-0 ot loss. Sometimes youre the windshield, sometimes youre the bug. But yes, you're right...I've been very fortunate in a few ot shootouts. As for the Anaheim/Detroit trend you mentioned, some guys love following the trends, some don't....I just happen to think they're more of a coincidence than anything else but you're right...if I played the trends, my bank acct would be looking great. These two teams are much different than their storied past so I prefer to just stick to tonights variables...personal preference, that's all. I appreciate your opinion, you've added a lot to the forum

I agree fully..I watched the Hawks/Ducks game...Ducks seem to have great goaltending, and 2 solid lines...and Koivu and Selanne have been drinking from the fountain of youth!

You da man AMD!  YOU ARE MY KING!!!! ( dude hasnt posted since his Wings lost )

If the Wings win tonight, I'm sure Miggs will stop by the thread...gotta love his passion for his hometown team. Got a chuckle out of your posts as well...

You remembered

I do like Emery but I like Niemi as well....Earlier today, I almost pulled the trigger on San Jose....I'm contemplating taking the under, it's going to be a physical game especially with both teams having a couple of days rest

Excellent answer---good point of view also!

Well, let me tell you...My son is now 14 months and for the first time since he was born he has slept through the night the last 2 days.  This is a miracle.  I actually slept 6 hours straight last night!

He used to wake up 4-5 times nightly...It was so effing terrible.

Like I posted a few days ago..When I open the NHL schedule and look at match ups and so on, it feels like a job. Not like last year where I would take an hour or so and make my picks and go play golf!

Hopefully I will get that feeling back this year. Now if the baby can keep sleepin, if the game can get better, I might just have a clear head to cap some games...I Know im betting to many games, but at the moment, Fuk it.

Cheers

AMD Always stop by to check out your thread just not alot of time to post... Love the picks, keep doing what you do. You looking at anything for the late games??
