Alright, like the habs, i'm on a small losing streak, but still up $60 since the start of the season with my online sportsbook.
Here are the lines on a site that i wager on, i'm on a bad streak and am literally going to let you guys place my bets for me. I'm going to do a 4 game parlay, which means i need to get all 4 games correct.
Give me 4 teams to win out of tonights games:
Toronto -115 vs Atlanta -105
Pittsburgh +195 vs Rangers -235
Ottawa -235 vs Boston +195
Washington +145 vs Florida -165
Buffalo +115 vs Montreal -135
Caglary +155 vs Detroit -175
Minnesota +155 vs Nashville -175
Columbus + 150 vs St. Louis -170
Vancouver + 105 vs Edmonton -125
I realize that this is not habs related, but i thought maybe we could cheer for something tonight other than the habs losing. For those of you that don't know what the +/- means. Here's a simple Explanation:
For example the buffalo vs habs. If you were to bet $100 on buffalo and they won you would win $115 (they're the underdogs). To win $100 with a habs win you would have to bet $135.
Pick 4 teams, and i'll put a $10 parlay on the 4 teams most picked and send 10% of the winnings to one random person who participates. Thanks, i hope you guys can help me at least get over a losing streak. And no i do not have a gambling problem. haha...

I've never gotten this, so a further explanation is needed: to win $100 I have to bet $135 -- so I wind up losing $35 even though I win?

I need more than two people to participate, i'm suprised i'm not getting more of a response for free money. tell you what, if i get 5 people to give me picks i'll place the bet, otherwise i'll just go it alone.

No Franko that is only in the biggest scam in the World...Pro-line. (Sports betting controlled by the government.) See, in the real World (Vegas, Sportsbook). You win your bet and you get your winnings PLUS your original wager. So on a +130 line a $100 bet would win $230 (130+100) while on a -110 line, a $110 bet would win $210. h&c... I've been hit and miss on hockey so far, college basketball is starting though and I'm off to a strong start and the college bowl season is usually a strong one for me. Every play the puck lines at all... For instance I think the Sabres are Gold at +1.5 -240 tonight and I also like Van at +1.5. Straight up early leans... Toronto (Blah, won't bet them though) the Rags Ottawa Washington (something rotten is going on in Florida) Minnesota |

It's simple once you get it, but it took me my second trip to vegas to understand it. once you get it, you start to wonder why it was so difficult to begin with. Habs_fan_in_LA wish you found this sooner. hows the weather treating you in LA? i actually had a whim to book a flight there for a weekend of sun. |
