    Bettahs Hockey Picks

    First of, let me just say that yes I am new to this forum, and I am new to betting.

    However I have been a hardcore hockey fan since I can remember. Of course I advise you all to watch me over the course of the rest of the season, and simply use my picks to just compare with your own picks, since I am not claiming to be some big shot better who will guarantee you wins and such.

    Simply put, I'll be here to track my own record, and offer thoughts/answer questions and hopefully collaborate with others and hear their thoughts and picks to help us all hopefully win.

    My goal is to post picks daily, but i may be busy or fall off the routine some days, but I will try my best to stick to it.

    Thanks if you read this.

    What do you think about
    Carolina -1.5 +230? Seems like teams tend to score kinda high against Buffalo.

    The only reason I stayed away from this is because of the Olympic break. Teams may be a little sluggish this week. Carolina has questions about if two of their better dmen are going to be playing, Joni Pitkanen and John Michael Liles. Neither has their starting goalie been named. However given how terrible Buffalo is, and their injuries right now, hard not to take them to lose every time.

    But again, Olympic break, upsets will be more likely, but teams have been practicing.

    You could always take the 3 way money line on Carolina for 2.30, win in regulation.

    Edit line moved down to 2.25

    Damnit Carolina!
    NHL 0-1-0 -2U

    AHL 2-0-0 +2U
    Been doing great in AHL this season (before I've started recording here)

    Also been on a great roll in NBA, lots of live in play bets though, split second to grab the right bets.

    Dang!

    Maybe tomorrow Boston will hit that spread against Buffalo.

    Also Detroit will be missing Zetterberg and Price is hot

    Tips for tomorrow, Rask is not starting, Miller is not starting, Price is not starting, Varlamov is not starting, Luongo is not starting. Quick, Howard and Halak aren't confirmed just yet to either play or not play.

    Canucks also riding a 7 game losing streak, half the team is injured, Henrik Sedin could be back, but Ryan Kesler could miss the game, had an MRI today I believe.

    Still going to take
    Bruins ML
    St.Louis ML

    Rest I'll see about later.

    If Enroth was in today instead of Miller, would've been a different game lol. I'm interested in seeing what the puck line will be for Boston.

    I grabbed that puck line against Vancouver earlier this month. I wonder if it'll hit again. Seems like the Olympics messed things around a bit as far as starters

    (Take 3 way or 2 way, whatever you like, or maybe even split half your bet as I sometimes do.)

    NHL 0-1-0
    St.Louis ML
    Bruins ML
    St.Louis -1.5

    AHL 2-0-0
    Texas Stars ML
    Grand Rapids Griffins ML
    Norfolk Admirals ML

    Will probably play in game on the other games.

    Tailing on that St Louis -1.5 and agree with Boston. Thinking of trying Boston -1.5 as well. Good luck!

    I'm just worried that -240 for the Bruins first game back and on the road is way too risky...

    Hard not to take that since Luongo is not starting, Bieksa, Tanev Kesler, Santorelli, Weber, Alberts all not expected to start from what I know.

    Henrik and Burrows questionable. On top of that 7 game losing streak.

    Buffalo back to back games, got owned by Carolina in shots, only reason they won is because of Ryan Miller, who is not starting today. Tukka Rask is not starting either.

    Go with what you are comfortable with! Don't take it unless you feel they can do it.

    Yeah:/ Thoughts on tomorrow? Hopefully isnt full of upsets like today. Early thoughts for me are...

    LA win vs Calgary (Calgary is playing a goalie who has never played in the NHL yet, great record in the AHL)
    Chicago win vs New York (No Lundqvist)
    Toronto win vs NYI? - Tavares is done

    Maybe even Pens, SJ, Dallas, Tampa, but goalies to be announced so we will see.

    If the Kings offense play tomorrow the way their offense played today, if jump on them but you never know. Kings scoring 6 isn't exactly the norm.

    NHL 0-5-0
    LA Kings ML
    Pens ML
    Blackhawks ML
    Leafs ML
    Sharks ML

    (May take Tampa, Dallas, Columbus pre game)

    All these back up goalies are killing me. Quick back in and shuts Calgary out.

    Best of luck to you bettahs, I'm taking a break from NHL at least till next week. Once all the starting goalies are back and everyone shakes off the rust, hopefully things will be more predictable. I'm going to crawl back to mma where I came from lol

    NHL 2-8-0

    AHL 5-1-0


    May stay a bit away for tomorrow, but thinking about only making a play on San Jose tomorrow... Surely they can beat the red hot smoking Stanley Cup contending Buffalo Sabres!

    Bunch of good weekend games in the NHL.

    Wish Id just take a break like you genks, just cant help it! Luckily NBA and NCAAB has kept me at break even, and most nights in the positive! So I'm able to keep going with hockey. Hopefully turns around now.

    Also thing is, you only need to hit about 40% in hockey, ML is over 2 in most games (3 way) so it'll help take care of the losses. Rest is profit.

    NHL 3-8-0
    Boston ML
    Los Angeles ML

    Been hitting my maybe picks (90% of the time I take them) better than the ones I post hah, ofcourse cant put those in my record as that would be cheating
