After Sunday's games:
7 ties in 44 games = 1/6.29
Which is obviously a long way from the norm for this time of year. Since there are only a maximum of 3 more games in this round it seems safe to assume that we'll have the fewest OTs in a first round for quite some time. I'll still blindly bet what we have left, and probably continue into round 2. Will try to find time to backcheck later rounds from past years.
Having said that, an almost 3 unit profit after only 13 (blind) plays seems decent enough. I'll take it!
