I'd be on
Carolina +120
Anaheim +210
Philly +125
I think all could win their series.
I also would take
Cbus +425
St Louis +220
hoping they win of the first two and then buy back on the other side with the adjusted price.
I do think the Blues inexperience will play a huge role in their series.

Robin Regehr is out, perhaps long-term. Cory Sarich is on the limp and questionable. Dion Phaneuf has an aching back and is probable.
Three of the Calgary Flames' front-line defencemen may, or may not, be ready for this week's first round of the National Hockey League playoffs against the Chicago Blackhawks.

At the prices you posted would you take the other three favorites (SJ, Bost, Chic)?
My plan was to play all 7 doggies (not Columbo) when the lines first were posted but at these prices I only still see "value" with STL. That being said historically since 1999 there have never been more than 5 away teams that won their series in the first round. The average is 2-3 per year.
Regardless of price these 4 doggies IMO have the best chance of winning the first round.
STL
CAR
PHI
CAL

My problem is getting decent amounts of money offshore right now. BetJam is the only place I can get a decent amount to without a lot of pain. So my plan was to fly to Vegas Wed morning (im in LA) and getting down at the Hilton on the better lines and betting the rest with BetJam. Do you have any better ideas? I want to get down roughly a dime on each of the seven series that I mentioned.
Thanks again for your help.

The only longshot I like is Anaheim. St Louis is too young. They need to cut their teeth on this year's games and grow from there.
I do think with Carolina and New Jersey you have two teams coming in with opposite attitudes. Canes can beat Jersey.
Philly/Pitt is not so easy. After thinking about it more I would want at least +150 on Philly before I would take them. I would instead wait on that series and see how it plays out in game 1 before making a decision. If the Flyers lose a tight one in the opener than perhaps back them in the series with a high adjusted number.

LOL, too bad vegasinsider does not have series lines. It will be tough for me to take a cab to the Palms, Mirage, and Hilton trying to find the best lines.. That being said do you think I probably will find better dog lines at the Palms or Mirage than the Hilton?
Sorry for all of the questions...

Big10...I went around to a few shops today and can report that the lines have become homogenized and vary very little. I did find that Harrah's had none posted and I was told they were still thinking about doing so but may not, (for whatever that's worth).
Looking at the opening numbers around town there were some great scalps available but by today they had all become uniform. ie: Cal/Neva opened the Rangers at +250 when the Palms opened Washington at -210, (however only a nickle limit at the Palms).
Interesting observation is while the Flyers line has been pounded at most shops, Opened +155 at Cal/Neva down to +125....it went up at the Hilton, from a open of +125 to +130. I would trust a line move at the Hilton any day over a move at a place like Cal/Neva. Pittsburgh might be the right side.
Other moves from the openers at the Hilton, (which you have in post # 2,
Philadelphia +130
Pittsburgh -150
St Louis +200
Vancouver -240
Montreal +270
Boston -330
Cbus +450
Detroit -600
Calgary +125
Chicago -145
Anaheim +240
San Jose -280
Notice while nearly every shop I went to looked as if the dogs got hit, the Hilton had most action on the favorites.
Pittsburgh
Boston
Detroit
Chicago
San Jose
all went higher.
If you believe in sharp line moves...there you go.
Using that logic BetJam is currently offering Detroit at -495. Of the 8 shops I went to today no one had the Wings under -500,although 3 did have them at -500.
