Smart Money

2000-dollar downswing after 17k up.
Took a couple days off.
4 Teams look good today.
Concentrating more money on the Stars and Kings.

Canes Puck Line
Wild Puck Line
Stars Puck Line
Kings Puck Line

[monet]

Devils not getting that Empty Netter screwed me out of an extra 6k.
Won 11 hun on the day with a 2 team Toronto/Lightning Puck Line Parlay.
Been a good last ten days.
See other thread for today's picks.
You're Welcome.

I was looking over the Flyers a bit.
They've lost 7 of their last 8.
All 7 games were lost by 2 goals or more!
Kind of hard not to bet on the Capitals at Home with the Puck Line.
Impossible.

I have a rant, monet. Did you see the first half dozen possessions for Arkansas when Kansas went zone? Holy fuck, I never saw a team IQ drop so quickly. Kids don't have any idea how to play against a zone anymore. It was horrendous.

But the Hogs managed to win, which keeps my 89-1 to win that region alive. I already lost Louisville at 20-1 to win their region earlier.

Don't even ask who my other Godforsaken squads are -- well, I have UNC at 250-1 to win the whole shebang. They're awful, but if they win two more games, I'll make money on them. The only problem is they aren't going to win two more games. LOL.

I have Kentucky at 70-1 to win it all. They don't even know what "boxing out" is, but they beat Tennessee twice this year, so they have a shot in that region.

Marquette at 197-1 rounds out my Bad News Bears longshot lineup. Ugly stuff, man. Ugly.

But I have just Vic and Anthony's dinner money on each, so I won't take much of a beating.

I'm guessing we are talking March Madness here.
I haven't followed college hoops since the mid to late 90s.
I gave up on the NBA around 2010 or so.
Easiest damn sport to shave.
And I hate how they changed the game.
No more physicality to it.
Now let me rant a bit.
I was downtown yesterday, and March Madness was everywhere.
Too Many Fucking People.
AND...
Do you have to be a mook to get hired at the D Sportsbook (Circa)??
I mean talk about the dark side of the moon.
It's scary cashin' winning tickets over there as you think you're gonna get mugged at the window.
I'm all for equal rights and all but when every employee is black as the ace of spades you start to think the odds are tilted.
Sort of like the NHL intermission reports and tv in general.
A woman has to be present now lol.
It's the stupidest shit ever.
The Knights have this show that has a really small table.
They used to always have two dudes talkin' hockey.
They finally got the phone call and added a woman to the middle of the table.
It's the dumbest thing ever.
Bitch is scrunched up between these two meatheads talkin' hockey.
She don't know shit about hockey.
FUCK!

Nobody gonna give me an answer about the Planet of the Apes over at Circa (D Casino)???
Fuck.
I mean really.
Do they have a criteria when hiring?
No White People.
No Women.
No Carmel Colored Skin.
Only Black as the Ace of Fucking Spades and Male can push the parlay button??
I want to talk to HR.
Where's the Fucking Diversity or is this Repreparations?
And how did they find so many mooks that actually want to work at the Sportsbook?
How did they all pass the background check or drug test?
Not sure if they drug test anymore.
I know Bellagio didn't do a drug test around 3 years ago which I found odd.

Arkansas may have saved my, wait for it, bacon this Madness. If Kentucky can win two more games, I will make money on the whole project. That may be asking too much, though.

I entered just two bracket contests this year. Heritage, it turned out, wouldn't allow me in their contest. Such is life. Anyway, I'm 30th at this moment in the YouWager bracket contest out of about 550. We'll see how that goes. I have Duke winning it, but the ACC looks terrible, so don't think that will happen. I'm also in Oddsmaker, but have not seen standings for that yet.

KewlJ(s) are probably in both those same contests, so will be interesting to see where he finishes.

You're basically speaking Greek at me.
Hope you win but I kinda hate basketball at this point.
They have over 30 TVs at this one place I was at yesterday.
They can't put one Fucking Hockey Game on One Fucking TV???
It all has to be a bunch of Jigaboos running up and down the court?
Whatever.

Losing Delusions and Back to this Thread.
Philly Fucks me twice in a row and the Oilers didn't help either.
Had the Stars and Oilers on two teamers with the Knights Puck Line.
Sure, the Stars and Oilers won but didn't cover.
Lose 700.

Today looks beautiful, maybe.
Jets Puck Line - Buffalo not doing so great on a back-to-back against one of the best in the league.
Probably not betting this but Panthers Puck Line against the surging Pens.
Pens can't keep this up forever and the Panthers got to get back to their winning ways.
Blues Puck Line
Blues are crushing as of late and the Predators are on a back-to-back travel game.
The Preds get a rare win against the Leafs but I expect them to lose in St. Louisey.
I want to bet the Knights but probably won't.
Money Line Knights if you have to bet it.
Ducks Fucked me a couple times recently and the Canes got a beatdown last night but still got to take the Canes Puck Line.
Boston Officially Sucks.
Probably throwing these games or just don't care at this point.
Kings Puck Line.

[redietz]

Dropped to tied for 50th out of 550 in the YouWager contest. Many Big 10 fans; did not know that.

Basically it comes down to Kentucky today versus Illinois. If Kentucky wins, I make money on the overall endeavor. If they do not, I don't unless some miracle occurs. Kentucky is a small underdog. Very unlikely to have an overall outcome outside of plus/minus 1K either way. Likely outcome is in the plus/minus $300 to $400 range.

And as someone who played and coached a little hoops, I hate the way Kentucky plays, but that's besides the point.

[redietz]

Kentucky won, so Daniel Day Lewis is out of luck. There will be no blood.

Heading into the night games, tied for 21st in YouWager's bracket contest. To win it, I need Duke to win the whole shebang, and I probably also need Kentucky to beat Tennessee next week. Not too sure how likely those events are, but at least I can say that I have a chance.

Kings Puck Line.

I just crushed the book with 2, 3 and 4 team parlays.
Won something like 17k or something.

EDIT:
(I counted it up, its a little over 17,000 but I lost 600 with the Jets and Panthers prior.
So, win like 16,600.
Whatever.
I'm the best damn parlay bettor in the world and we all know it.)
I had about 2200 in total wagers.

Got too many damn tickets to count and cash.
This is why I don't do this under the radar betting.
Too Much Fucking Leg Work.

I lost a few hundos on the Jets, so I went back and bet again.
I bet a 2 Teamer with Blues Puck Line and Kings Puck Line.
The rest was 3 and 4 teamers.
Most of it was...
Blues Puck Line
Canes Puck Line
Kings Puck Line

When I got to the 4 teamers, I added in some Knights Money Line and Puck Line Tickets.
I got to sift through 12 winning tickets now and dribble them in.
Kind of Fucking Sucks but you know, don't bet Parlays.
Don't bet Hockey.

Finished the day by dropping a spot in the bracket contest at YouWager. Tied for 21st out of 550.

I need to plot out my hedging next week. Some kind of profit is a given. Kentucky beat Tennessee twice, but they are 4 1/2 dogs. I'll consider being daring, but we all know that "Hedging is for weenies," and I'm a weenie, so I'll probably take my modest profit and run. I feel badly for the eight seeds that got screwed with their seedings. Louisville and UConn deserved better fates. Gonzaga really got screwed with their eight seed. Just terrible.

I don't think we're having a conversation.
This is like when both of us are talking, and nobody can understand what the other person is saying.
I have a lot of experience with that.
I'm a bit of a hot head.

[monet]

I'm not in love with any hockey games or lines today.
But I've been so damn hot this month.
I'm up 112k for the month so far.
I hit a couple 20k Royals and some other premiums.
I also beat the book for 43k in hockey.
I LOVE hockey.

I'm gonna bet the Devils Puck Line because they got to get out of this funk.
And Islanders Puck Line cause the Jackets aren't getting out of their funk.
The other two games are too close to consider for me.
And the above picks aren't very good either but like I say, I'm on a hot streak, so I bet.

I lost 300 but I feel like I won.
When I first made my bet, I put it on the Money Line 2 Teamer, and it paid around 2 to 1.
I was like F that.
So, I changed it to the Puck Line, for both games.
It paid a lot better.
Both games lost outright so I sort of never had a chance.
That's like winning.
Even though, at one point, the Islanders were up 2-0 and Jersey was up 2-1.
That's the position you want to be in, every, single, time.

Gotta Root for the Home Teams Today.
Philly is in the funniest slump.
Leafs Puck Line.
Lightning got trounced, Haarrrd, on the Road.
Pens are playing Hard.
Still gotta take Tampa Bay Puck Line at Home.
Canes Puck Line - Probably the easiest game, maybe.
Blues Puck Line - Best Value but Canadians got to play hard as they are on the bubble for a Playoff Spot.
Blues are just red-hot right now.
Red Wings gotta win too but are on a back-to-back against a team that has improved over the season and been #winning.
Avalanche Puck Line.
Not sure about this last pick but it's the opposite of the Avalanche.
I really was on the Ranger Train early in the season.
But something happened to them after 20 games, and you can't trust them at all.
Kings been hot.
They literally scored 14 goals in their last 2 games.
Kings Puck Line, at Home but I probably don't put them on any ticket.
Now I gotta bet them straight, since I said that.

[redietz]

Time for the UFL, monet.

I had a real good two seasons with the last XFL/UFL incarnations. We'll see what I come up with this year. I've actually done better at these boutique leagues than anything else the last couple of years. It's basically glorified college football, but without the big NIL contracts, so in a sense, it's like college football 20 years ago. Maybe that explains why I've done so well.

It would be nice if you posted a couple of free picks before gametime.
I lub ya but I won't hold my breath.
I look forward to the report.
By the way, yesterday was a huge day for hockey parlaying.
Don't Bet Parlays.

What a Fucking Day!
I was at the book watching the Canes lose and cost me around 1500 in tickets.
So, I pushed harder.
I bet what I could...

Blues Puck Line +165
Avalanche Puck Line -110
Kings Puck Line +165
Paid 12.4 to 1

I was at the kiosk(s) printing tickets lol.
I kept betting 100/110/120/125/130 to keep all paying tickets under 200.
That book got a thing for over 2000 dollar pays.
The Fucking Kiosks are so stupid.
You can't really do that shit at the window.
I printed 45 tickets.
They have a lot of kiosks to move around to.
You can only put 400 max into the kiosks without a card.
I won a little over 60 thousand dollars.
But now I got to dribble these tickets in around 6 per day.
Gonna Take Me for Fucking Ever.
I expect them to say something to me eventually or change the kiosk rules.
I dunno.
I wish I could see the guy back there watching or recording all the tickets being cashed/bet.
Someone has to be surveilling that shit.
Or maybe not.
Maybe they don't give a Fuck about 40 some odd 125-dollar parlays betting the same teams paying near the same amounts.
Maybe they think Parlays are for suckers and they don't give two seconds of thought about it.
Whatever.
Here are the results.
If you couldn't figure out how to make money from these picks, you don't know what you're doing.
That Fucking Empty Net Goal from the Kings was GLORIOUS!!
NHL Puck Line Parlay Betting is so Fucking Easy.
I don't care what you all think or say.
Still don't believe me?
My picks were 5-1 against the puck line.
Check the scoreboard...

Hurricanes LOSE 3-1 (FUCKERS)
this cost me over 20k in winning tickets and 1500 in parlay betting.

LEAFS cover 7-2
TAMPA covers 6-1
BLUES cover 6-1
AV's cover 5-2
KINGS cover 3-1
