Strategic_Bets NHL System

Hi everyone, I have decided to try putting together a system, based on shots and goalie percentages

Due to the fact that I have not yet put in to place any filters, I will NOT be wagering on any of these picks unless they prove to be accurate over the next month and a bit.  IF the system is successful, I will start placing wagers on it the first week of December

For current documenting practices, i will be using a flat rate of 1 unit (to win) per bet.

Cheers and heres to hoping for a successful and profitable season!

Also what is REG?

Good luck with the picks!

Yes, Draw means 60 minutes ends in a tie

Regulation means Regulation Time Only, 60 minutes = 3 periods
If game goes to OT you lose

 Thanks and Best of Luck

Unless you picked the Dog at +0.5, then you Win when the 3rd period ends in a tie. 

Risky system.  If you the team you've chosen loses by more than 1 goal, you're losing a boatload of money/units.  Unless your system can pick at a 70% (ish) rate, I don't see it making substantial profits.  Sort of a "all your eggs in 1 basket" approach, based on past shot percentages

I hope I'm wrong, and I'll follow it closely..

yes sorry forgot to mention that because my picks used the -0.5

thanks for the correction  

Yeah I really didn't mean to sound like a jackass, if I came across that way.  I just re-read what I posted and it sounded obnoxious, sorry for that

I'm with you though, the multiple different wager types will give you a very good idea of which bets are winning, and which are losing, and you can base your future wagers from December forward on that data (or crush the system completely if it sucks)

I'll follow with you

Just curious as to what this bet actually was?

Hi sorry couldnt make it to a computer at all over the weekend

It was for the Atlanta / Tampa Bay OVER 1.5 FIRST PERIOD

Anytime i write over / under 1.5 it means the First Period

Sorry for the confusion

Total = +0.84U

Looking good

The further we get into the season, the more data you'll have to use as well

Just wish you were available everyday to post.  Missing a day here and there sorta hampers the results, dont you think?

Wasn't the Flyers ML a loss here?  Should be 4-2-1

Yes indeed!
Missed my flaming money bag, will correct right away!

yes i just emailed the excel sheet to myself now, i had developed it at work, so i couldnt do it over the weekend, didnt really have time to either..

THANKS SMDIO
No more updating records at 1:20am while high as hell for me...
My apologies

It appears that Edmonton should outscore Calgary by almost a full goal.  Why are we siding with Calgary instead of the Oilers?

Just making sure I'm following everything correctly.  I really like these mechanical systems and this one intrigues me as well
