Shit happens - when you can't afford for it to happen, you protect your ass. Then you sleep better at night.

Matty, two dimes? Really? You must have a hugh bankroll.

Matty, Matty, Matty.

 

[Matty]

plommer, me pro since Jan 1st. I'm underbankrolled for a pro.

Go 'yotes.

 

[Matty]

This thread made me go through my collection of futures tickets and I just realized that I had a bit under a nickel on Montreal to win the Cup at an avg. price of 50-1. That's not so good.

Also found 55 bucks on the Milwaukee Bucks at 125-1. I don't think that's hockey.

Go 'yotes.

[Vegas Dave]

Loving the love that LA is getting!

 

[Matty]

Davey! Luongo's not playing right lately and the Kings are a pretty cohesive bunch. Cohesion wins.

Neither is Quick... he hasn't won a game since March 22nd, and has failed to do so in his last 8 tries.

 

[Matty]

Oh. I sort of lost track of Quick once I traded him for Price late in the fantasy season (no comments please).

But I have faith in him. Why not.

He's been shaky as all hell. I know Luongo has been too. Should be a fun series, that's for sure.

 

[Mudcat]

I think I will only hedge if they reach the finals, or when they become decent favorites in a series, or when a series goes to a game 7.

Risky business. I think I would wimp out and start the hedge right now.

 

[Matty]

Risky business. I think I would wimp out and start the hedge right now.

Every game? Nah, I'll run out of equity too quickly. It's just 500 bucks. I would rather fade the 'yotes if and when they become a series favorite.

 

[Mudcat]

Oh $500. For some reason I was thinking $5000. Although it doesn't actually change the principle.

I don't think I would hedge game-by-game. Probably series-by-series. Well I'd have to study it.

Blitty's picks:

Colorado vs San Jose - Colorado

Montreal vs Washington - Washington

Philadelphia vs New Jersey - New Jersey

Ottawa vs Pittsburgh -Pittsburgh

Detroit vs Phoenix - Phoenix

Boston vs Buffalo - Buffalo (Best Bet)

Los Angeles vs Vancouver -Vancouver

Nashville vs Chicago - Nashville

 

[stevek173]

Colorado vs San Jose - San Jose

Montreal vs Washington - Washington

Philadelphia vs New Jersey - New Jersey

Ottawa vs Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh

Detroit vs Phoenix - Detroit

Boston vs Buffalo - Buffalo

Los Angeles vs Vancouver - Vancouver

Nashville vs Chicago - Chicago

Real original, I know.

Just happy the bullies are in the game to be honest. They are going to give Jersey a fight, but I don't think they win in the end. Whoever plays Jersey round 2 will get one beat up Chris Prongered in the mouth 50 times team.

 

[stevek173]

FYI NO WAY Det loses to Phoenix. Jimmy Howard is for real and the Wings have been getting it done for years with who, Os not that good?

I stake my soul on it!

 

[reno cool]

It seems to me betting a team to win the cup before they're guaranteed a playoff spot is rarely a good idea.
That is, a team like Atlanta would be >30-1 now, had they made it. What did you get them for during the season?

 

[Matty]

I got a mix of 60 and 66 to 1 while they were 5th in the East and 90% likely to make the playoffs. Then they shit the bed steadily.

Kindly fack off, you 20/20 hindsight Nostradamii.

And Phoenix is woefully underpriced in that series. They got home ice for f's sake. Not saying they're a lock or anything, but saying there's NO WAY they win is, well, .
