Washington Capitals -200 ml       20 units

Caps have lost 2 in a row, and will right the ship before the Olympic break.

Caps have the 2nd best road record ( 18-10 ) ( lost last 2 straight roads games )

Blues tied for worst home record ( 11-16 )

APK also recommends Caps pl +165 and TT over 3.5 +110

Good luck everyone
-200 dogs have been losing left and right in the NHL lately ( last night the Pens -220, Thursday night the Kings -320 )

Please hurry up and let us know who you are betting before the puck drops

In the case of the losing bets, APK would say this is just random chance.

Since appx 92.4367 % of your bets lose, most of the time computer glitches are going to occur just before one of your 92.4367% of losers.

APK hopes you consider this theory

May not get a total of 2 goals in Rangers game..........

Rangers have an awful home record ( was 3rd worst in the league earlier this week, APK doesn't have all his info within reach now )
and NYR generally plays very tight at home.

APK thinks the first period shots will be something like 10-8, and one goal scored at the most

In 2008, the Republican Party used Murtha's words against him in TV ads aired less than a month before the election. The ads cited his criticism of the Haditha incident as well as his comment about "racist" voting tendencies of many western Pennsylvania residents. Still, Murtha handily won his 18th full term.

Murtha was a perennial target of critics of so-called pay-to-play politics. He routinely drew the attention of ethical watchdogs with off-the-floor activities from his entanglement in the Abscam corruption probe three decades ago to the more recent scrutiny of the connection between special-interest spending known as earmarks and the raising of cash for campaigns.

Murtha defended the practice of earmarking. The money, he said, benefited his constituents.

Murtha became chairman of the House Appropriations defense subcommittee in 1989. The same year Paul Magliocchetti, a former subcommittee staffer, left Capitol Hill to found the now-defunct PMA Group. The lobbying firm, which specialized in obtaining earmarks for defense contractors, was one Murtha's biggest sources of campaign cash.

In 2007 and 2008, Murtha and two fellow Democrats on the subcommittee directed $137 million to defense contractors who were paying PMA to get them government business. Between 1989 and 2009, Murtha collected more than $2.3 million in campaign contributions from PMA's lobbyists and corporate clients, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks political money.

Shortly after the 2008 election, the FBI raided PMA's offices as part of an ongoing criminal investigation. In a separate development in January 2009, FBI agents raided the offices of a defense contractor from Murtha's district—Windber-based Kuchera Defense Systems Inc.—that had received millions of dollars in earmarks sponsored by Murtha while contributing tens of thousands to his campaigns.

A year later, Kuchera was suspended from bidding on government contracts because of allegations that it paid more than $200,000 in kickbacks to another defense contractor.

Around the same time, the House ethics committee was investigating the link between PMA-related campaign contributions and earmarks, but it had not named a subcommittee to look into possible violations by individual lawmakers.

Murtha's critics recall the Abscam corruption probe, in which the FBI caught him on videotape in a 1980 sting operation turning down a $50,000 bribe offer while holding out the possibility that he might take money in the future.

"We do business for a while, maybe I'll be interested and maybe I won't," Murtha said on the tape.

Six congressmen and one senator were convicted in that case. Murtha was not charged, but the government named him as an unindicted co-conspirator and he testified against two other congressmen.

Murtha's district encompasses all or parts of nine counties in southwestern Pennsylvania and embodies the region's stereotypes of coal mines, steel mills and blue-collar values.

Constituents credited Murtha with bringing jobs and health care to the region, delivering hundreds of millions of dollars for local industry, hospitals and tourism. Critics derisively nicknamed Murtha the "king of pork" and said he used his position on the defense subcommittee to win favors.

Murtha often delivered Democratic votes to Republican leaders in exchange for the funding of pet projects. He wasn't shy about such deals, once saying that "dealmaking is what Congress is all about."

In 2006, when the Democrats captured control of the House for the first time in 12 years, Rep. Nancy Pelosi endorsed Murtha to become majority leader. Pelosi, D-Calif., went on to be elected as the first female House speaker, but caucus members picked Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md., as their leader.

I agree 100%, but, since I was jailed 3 weeks ago for pointing out the Cardinals defense played like a pee wee team, this is the only forum where I can post on this site

CT since this is evidently acceptable just delete my account

Vinnie the chin has since passed, but, others have taken his spot.

APK doesn't wish to provide too many people this winner too soon, or some people with names that end in vowels may get involved and convince the team I select to miss a few baskets

Much like Don Juan's undocumented streak, I am sorry that this can't be documented, but, I swear it's true

A truly remarkable streak...........

Sure, there was no internet back in the early 70's, but, I clearly remember predicting the outcome on Mrs. Tussler's blackboard

The following year, on Mr. Pratt's blackboard.

The next year in Vinnie Cacciola's yearbook 
The next few years Vinnies "godfather"  ( Vinnie the chin ) made me give him my play..."or else"
APK continued to win

Into the 80's APK was still distributing his Lakers play.....and STILL WINNING

Thankfully Al Gore then invented the internet, where APK could post his plays, and hundreds...then thousands....then millions...now hundreds of millions....could keep track of APK's remarkable streak.

APK has continued to post his LA Lakers plays on the first game played after the Superbowl, and continued to win.

From 2001 until APK first joined covers in 2008, APK posted these plays on wagerline. 
Then wagerline merged with covers and APK became aware of covers as a website

APK then decided to join in November of 2008

The last 2 years APK had no opinion on the first Lakers game after the Superbowl
but,
this year is ready to go for his 40th straight prediction
