yesterday i went 1-2 and i was bailed out with nfl where i took clevland to cover 5 and over 42.5
so far my record in hockey is 9-4 but i was terribly irratated with reading all the reviews on here for the edmonton detroit game to be an automatic over and yet nothing there. I have read all these reviews yesterday by all these people on here and the only thing i am ready to determine that alot of people are losers at gambling on here or have no idea how to predict anything when it comes to hockey. wow allot of poor people

i am going to try this one more time if it does not work out well i am out and go spend my money on something else cause i dont know anything and neither do all of you
1. i like pittsburgh away
2. colorado calgary over
3. montreal carolina over

 i would give an explanation for my picks but whats the point its all useless i am starting to figure out something about sports that i had not thought of till last nigth. No matter how you analyze the game its th refs that control it all and it seems like lately in sports its mafia style of betting, too many refs in every league making too many calls to make too many casinos in vegas and elsewhere too much money so what the hell is a gambler from ottawa to do but think of th e ultimate conspiracy that please dont have a illusion that sports is sports its a business and well as long as the degenrates on here keep on betting they will keep on fixing games its sad really but hey addiction is addiction and thats my moral speech for today followed by a bitch slap to all that should wake up and maybe rethink betting on sports, the only reason i am saying this that this might be my last day of betting cause the fix is in and i am not inside to know whats gion gon

Hey, Huntclub...Did you put the FARM on your Sens last night or what?

As for your comments, I think you are a degenerate yourself..are you not betting??? As for the mafia style...wtf do you know about the mafia...are you part of one..I think not...because you wouldn't be on this site if you were..some people like you really piss me off..most of us do have a real job with a real life(appanetly you don't because you're on here ripping people up for what....because you lost a bet? I do this hockey stuff for fun and make good coin at a hobby in a sport I LOVE...whats wrong with that..You win you lose....part of the game.....with that said...bail on the this forum keep you small time talk stuff to yourself!

Play proline or something....there's a fix!!!

Play within yourself----

Sorry for my rant Board-Paging Lipps on this one!

 Just a quick reply to the rant, i actually have a job a pretty good one sitting here right now making huge cash for writing this stuff. The corporation keeps on paying me so i keep on showing up. I only bring up this point because i was challenged on that fact. This is the first week i have gambled in my life and i have made money at it but for my eyes to open that way regarding officiating in the sports world should not cause gamblers to rant. You really think and dont wanna get too intellectual for you i am thinking that in the state that the United states is run now with the corrupt media, wall street, you really think this scam is hard to run. I will give you an instance couple of years back they started calling more penelties in hockey why the game was too boring or they handed the result of every game in the hands of a referee. Does anyone really know what these guys really make a year or are you so blind to think they might be degenerates themselves. Just sit back and think about this and i am not really gettting off gambling i am thinking about letting go of sports cuase its like watching wrestling but only a select few how it will end. The bookies, the casinos the refs

OK.. so ur.making good cash....good on you...
Bookies casinos refs and the media don't control hockey..
The players do! If you don't show up...you lose-the refs don't come into the rooms before the games and say...guys the books are saying you need to shit the bed tonight
Case in point Toskala last night...he shows up the leafs take it in REG after hitting 5 posts...
 
Player control the game dude...its about being smart with the plays and getting some much needed
This is not a monopoly...Do you thing the refs were in on CLEV +5 last night?
according to you...They control sports>>> so football too?
 
Back to Pucks...
 
They opened up that game because there was lots of interference that was slowing the game down and wanted to open up that game-(let the skilled play skilled)Not set the over/under higher with lots a juice.------>
 
What would the League be like now with Mario 66 in his prime?
 
just my 2cents & IMHO
 
I appreciate your thread...but it did strike a nerve tho!

If you think just because a few people on a gambling forum said the det/edm over was a lock and it ended up being a 4-0 game means that all sports are a sham and it's impossible to make money gambling then you are a genuine dunce. You've been gambling for a week and you're already posting whiny, blubbering rants about everything being fixed by refs. Pathetic.

it was not just det edm over it was just the whole basis of gambling i suppose to be moral and still bet is well not right so i have to walk away from this sports in general has become nothing about players and everything about what they can earn somebody else i guess this is too heavy for a hockey forum i guess i should talk to people somewhere else who would think about the state of atletics in this world thanks everybody its been a pleasure. Its odd i guess what i said earlier is to tell a drug addict that drugs are bad for you and that the drug dealers and the government is to blame when all he wants to do is to get another high so i leave you all to your highs have a good one

Ive been a heavy lurker on covers for a while, just deciding to start posting after I saw this thread.  Youve been betting for a week and your complaining about how its fixed.  And you said you dont know anything about the players, the sport etc.  How about having some knowledge about the sports your betting on so it can give yourself some more insight on what to choose on a daily basis instead of reading what other posters are saying and just throwing cash down on what we say.  Thats so stupid.  I dont know much bout NBA, so i stay away. If you have no idea about sports period than stop betting PERIOD.  Others on this forum take it personally when people like you say this stuffs fixed when its not, just have at least some knowledge about the freakin' sport first.

buddy get a life, if every capper on here took the over it was probably the right bet it just didn,t pan out!
 
so if i were you i would bet pitt/minny to go under the total of 51/2 its the right bet tonight not pitt, minny wins this game. agin alot of good cappers on this site are on the under as well.

hockey is a good buissness to wager on .

first you need to understand how the teams function and play.

second you have to be slick enough to understand tendencies.

third you need to understand refs do give the other team a chance but cannot stop a good team from executing.

ive hit at 66% as  as of last season...and approaching that this year. its more stable if you can read between the lines and follow 1 teams tendencies, there you will find winning wagers. its not childs play.  ill agree the US media is corrupt.......along with alot of other powerful institutions. i see refs give teams a break if they work hard but i dont see refs giving teams victorys. EXECUTION = WINNNING

blues player i do agree with your thoughts. i have been watching sports well forever and do happen to know about it but i thought i would give gambling a shot seeing is that i have exceled in life not gambling. 66%i s a good mark cant argue with numbers. I just wanted to start a new subject today cause i had seen such a decline in sports since i started watching it and such a rise in sports marketing where everything is for sale always where the value of players is not properly understood. I guess it is a sore subject for so many cuase sometimes in life its harder to be original or follow mainstream. once in awhile its good to have a topic like this on there to understand this part of the internet public, where they stand how they feel ahh it is what it is

It's unbelievable how stupid some people are.  OP with this type of attitude and level of intellect you are not a winning gambler, will never be a winning gambler and dont' have any of the skills required to win at gambling.  Keep donating money though I'm sure Vegas likes it.  Like the typical novice bettor you blame everything on fixes and collusion.  Because one game you bet doesn't hit you cry foul.  You know because you should always let the result of one outcome alter your entire view.  Typical clown just please stop posting already I don't want people who are actually trying to learn to read hogwash like this.

I think all of you have pretty much taken care of this.
 
Pucks is a very difficult sport to wager on if you don't do your homework and just take favs and follow what everyone else is doing.
 
Pucks can be a goldmine if you know each team like the back of your hand. Including travel schedules (example Nashville coming off a long road trip and just going through the motions the 1st two periods last night.
 
Following the way of taking over 5's on games, but not knowing that Luongo has been a brickwall in net as of late and McDonald has been playing very well also.  Don't just be blinded by stats, some goaltenders play better in some places and against other teams than others.
 
Last game on a long road trip will usually a good time to fade a team.  All sorts of things to look at.

huntclubottawa..."the fix is in" are you really trying to say the NHL is some how tampered with by the league and players...get real...anyone who claims a game(s) are rigged are just shitty cappers.  "I was on the wrong side so the game must have been rigged"...pathetic...get serious

This is funny....
 
Just because myself and many other cappers here was on the Red Wings/Oilers over 5.5 which lost, doesn't make it a bad bet.  I think it was the right side though, unfortunatley the Oilers were not ready for that game last night and coulnt find the back of the net.  Same with Nashville, unfortunately we need more than one team to do the scoring.  I figured the Oilers and Preds were good for at least a couple.  On hindsight, I guess I should have taken the team totals instead, but it's in the past and that's that.  No one is going to win 100% of their bets, and you will go on cold streaks where nothing hits, but to take a sample of just one week is ludicrous.
 
With regards to "fixing", I doubt it happens in the NHL, but you can never really know for certain.  NHL doesn't get much action on it compared to NFL or NBA and the other major sports.  I do know that fixing does happen in Soccer.  I picked up a book a couple months ago called The Fix by Declan Hill.  Mafia gets involved and corrupts refs, teams take bribes, etc...  Was the Pittsburgh/San Diego game fixed?  I watched it, and I thought the refs were pretty one sided, I'm not going to say it was fixed, it looked shady though.  Where there is money there is corruption.

They don't need to fix the games to make people lose their money,'cause it's already difficult to cap this sport.In my opinion hockey is the most unpredictable and tough sport on the planet.Unlike soccer or us football,this guys plays almost everyday and can have long road trips with very limited time to rest.So with this kind of stress they're subject to,i can see why here it's not uncommon to see the worst team beating the best team in the league.Being the last in the NHL and being the last in a soccer league or football it's another thing.The worsts teams in NHL can easily be on 40% at the end of the season ,looking at other sports.
