Well the contest picks were not my big plays until tonight. I am too far behind, it would be like a record to come back from this deficit. Actually, I dont even bet those picks that i have played in teh contest until tonights picks. I think that I even said that about 1 week ago. Anyway, I usually only bet like $1,000-2500 straight bets on about 2 games a day. For the contest, I picked like 6 games a day just for fun. Most of them were games that I didnt bet. But tonight, I did bet on a total of 5 games. 2 straight and the other 3 in parlays. We will see what happens.
Glad to see that I gave Bobby something to do with his life so he could respond to my post. As I mentioned, I was counting on it. I actually bet on Detroit at -1/2 goal, I made a mistake in my post when I put that line. But LORD KNOWS it is a sin around here to edit post!!! As if it really matters anyway. But most of the other picks were not real big favorites. I should have expected that the biggest loser on this forum to respond as well, Ivan!! Make sure not to email or instant message that guy, he will hound you forever!!!
Maybe Detroit -1/2 can win for me today, we will see, it will be tough though. By the way Bobby, the REASON why I bet the underdogs at +1/2 goal vs the moneyline is because my primary book DOES NOT offer moneylines in hockey! Anyway, I like the cushion against the tie anwyay. Lots of ties lately too. I am actually pulling for the tie in Ottawa and think that it really might happen! Anywhere I can bet a tie in hockey at like 3 to 1 or so?? I am not sure what the line would be, but I wouldnt mind taking a few of those if there is such a thing
FROM NOW ON, or at least for the nest 2 weeks or so, I will put my PRIMARY bets in teh contest. I need to get above zero to get it respectable before I start taking random games again. Anyway, the prize money isnt that big, heck I bet about 10 times that amount every other day or so. Basketball has been pretty good lately, but I will admit that I lost quite a bit to my book yesterday. I had 3 pushes and 2 losses yesterday and naturally the losses came on my big bets. Today will be better hopefully.
