ajs510 122 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 It all depends on the line, obviously, but I really like St. Louis at home over Nashville on Friday. They'll probably be the underdogs. I'll put some time in on the Northeastern games when I get to work tonight. Link to post Share on other sites

strategy 4 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Maybe, but you still agree that the Blues will beat the Predators on Friday, right?considering how they looked in the preseason, I think we ought to be looking closely at their lines. the public's perception is pretty far off the mark, judging by the number of guys who gave them 27-30 in power rankings.

Belanger25 3 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I do too, I think they'll be considerably better than people think, sneaky team for sure.Andy Murray teams are notorious for strong starts. Look at the Blues last year and the Kings the year after the lockout. Strong starts, terrible finishes. Link to post Share on other sites
WestcoastCanuck 0 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I would prefer betting the over in Nashville - Stl. I am willing to bet there is some really good value there once the lines come out. St. Louis scored a lot of goals in the preseason. Link to post Share on other sites
WestcoastCanuck 0 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Some more random things to consider for early bets:Calgary and Kipper always start slow, and Kipper has not looked good. Calgary might be overvalued for a while.Better the over in any Colorado game seems like a good idea at this point. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Lines for tomorrows games are up... Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I guess it's just O/U lines for right now, don't know why but here's what I like:Toronto vs Detroit:I like the Over (5.5, -105) as Toronto's last 5 preseason games have all been over 6 goals, including 2 against Detroit. Detroit's last 6 regular season games against Eastern Conference Teams went as follows:Sun Mar 2, 2008 Red Wings Sabres 4 - 2 Sat Feb 2, 2008 Red Wings Bruins 3 - 1 Tue Jan 15, 2008 Thrashers Red Wings 5 - 1 Sat Jan 12, 2008 Red Wings Senators 2 - 3 Mon Dec 17, 2007 Capitals Red Wings 3 - 4 Sat Dec 15, 2007 Panthers Red Wings 2 - 5 Figures out to an average of 6 total goals per game. The line for this one is 5.5. Average for the three Leafs - Wings games last season was over 6 GPG (1st game featured 10 goals, 2nd game was a 4 goal SO for the Wings, 3rd game had 5 total goals). More in a bit... Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 preseason scores mean nothing...Most games are played with back up and sometimes 3rd string goalies. But i dont mind your play. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 preseason scores mean nothing...Most games are played with back up and sometimes 3rd string goalies. But i dont mind your play.Yeah but I looked at that, one game vs Toronto was Conklin against Toskala, the other was Osgood against Cujo. Both teams had very close to opening day rosters on the ice for both games. Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I actually like the BOS-COL over better. I fear a 4-0 or 5-0 win for Detroit. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I actually like the BOS-COL over better. I fear a 4-0 or 5-0 win for Detroit.Last five against the West for Boston:Sat Feb 2, 2008 Red Wings Bruins 3 - 1 Tue Jan 29, 2008 Predators Bruins 1 - 3 Sat Dec 22, 2007 Blues Bruins 4 - 1 Sat Dec 15, 2007 Blue Jackets Bruins 0 - 2 Thu Oct 25, 2007 Blackhawks Bruins 1 - 3 Boston only had one Western conference game go for more than 5 goals all of last season, an 8-6 spree against the Kings. Last five against the East for Colorado:Sat Mar 15, 2008 Devils Avalanche 4 - 2 Tue Mar 11, 2008 Avalanche Thrashers 5 - 2 Tue Jan 15, 2008 Avalanche Lightning 3 - 0 Sun Jan 13, 2008 Avalanche Panthers 4 - 3 Sat Jan 12, 2008 Avalanche Hurricanes 5 - 4 Colorado's record would seem to support your position that this game will go for 6 or more, add onto that the fact that Colorado's goaltending situation is shaky at very best this year. I like the over for this game as well. Link to post Share on other sites

ajs510 122 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I bet the following for tonight:1 unit on Vancouver defeating Calgary straight up (+120)1 unit on Vancouver - Calgary under 5.5 (+115)1 unit on Washington defeating Chicago by more than 1.5 (+200)Of the above, I really like my Vancouver bets for the RTE but I haven't checked the Bet365 lines. The Washingon bet is obviously a flier but I feel pretty strongly that Ovechkin isn't getting left off the scoresheet two games in a row and that Washington will be out to make a statement.

ajs510 122 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 So is it safe to assume that pretty much everyone has lost interest in this? Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 So is it safe to assume that pretty much everyone has lost interest in this?are you serious? its 3 nights into the year!Not me, not at all.site was down and I dont usually find 3 great plays every night anyway.I believe in betting when I see the right line, not just betting cause i got a feeling on a game/team. Sports betting shouldnt be a nightly game, in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites
WestcoastCanuck 0 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Adam I am telling you those over 1.5 bets will kill you long term. Link to post Share on other sites
