i'm ready to throw the car radio out the window listening to them say "Boston is a goal and a half favorite tonight vs. Montreal'. get a fucking clue.

i see -175 and that's what it 'opened' with on my site. that -137 is full of shit cause every site posted on covers has it -165

Montreal +155

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[mcm]

B's even, Philly -120

Celts +150, Heat -170

thought it would be other way around - Celts about even and B's heavy dog

[JohnCreese]

Sounds like you should place some decent-sized wagers on the Flyers and the Celts then.

Miami and Chicago are both +125 to win the east, celts at +250. Everyone thinks the Heat are far and away the best team? really?

I got a bundle on Bs at 16/1 and 14/1. Do I start to hedge?

Might have to at that price.

[Lou Roe]

I never hedge on futures but when I do play them its usually a small play and not a bundle, that might change my philosophy and starting to hedge right now with that price and payouts makes sense on paper.

I ended up 4-4 on 1st round series bets, had $1400 pending and ended +$65, huge swing last night with 2 game 7 wins.

For the 2nd round, just put in Nashville +205, also going to take SJ, TB, and B's, going to wait to put those in since the line is moving favorably.

RA, who you going with for 2nd round picks?

[Bud]

Lou you taking Nashville for the value or because you think they can win? I know Rinne is a beast but I'm not confident in their offense. I got a future on Vancouver (9:1 from october) but i think i'm gonna let it ride this round.

[Lou Roe]

Just the value at +205, I didn't have enough confidence in Van laying 255. I actually went against Nashville in the first round because I didn't think they could score with the Ducks, but they were able to score more than a goal above their season average per game. Vancouver has more offense than Nash but and Rinne wasn't that sharp last round but Luongo is too much of a wildcard right now to be -255.

Vancouver looks good at 9/1 since they are +225 right now. Good luck.

[Bud]

You too Louis.

chicken dinner!

[Lou Roe]

Sharks really made me sweat that one out, with the win ended up 3-1 this round +430, playoffs overall 5-3 +495, Bruins are -135 right now and sj-van line should be out tomorrow. I'm expecting van to be a slight favorite due to home ice. It's gonna be a great conference finals round, still can't believe its been since 92 for the B's.
