Playersonly Versus Crazy Ivan - HOCKEY THREAD From Jan 25 till Jan 31

Guest · Jan 25, 2003

Playersonly: 5-0-1 (+500)

Ivan's Record: 3-1-1 (+205)

Buffalo Sabres +0.5 (+185)
Sabres are unbeaten in 7 games and have only lost once in 10 games. Amazingly Biron is hot between the pipes for the Sabres as he has recorded 3 straight shut outs and the Sabres have posted 4 goose eggs in their last 5 games played. However, the Sabres are playing in a back-to-back situation, I expect a tight-checkin 'playoff-type' atmosphere game. This game has OT potential written all over it, was very tempted to play the Sabres ML, but I'll pass on the greed and reduce the juice for the extra +0.5

Atlanta Thrashers ML +172
The Thrashers are playing very good hockey under Heartley thus far. However, so has the NYR as they have won 5 of their last 6 games. NYR have been getting stellar goaltending from Dunhum between the pipes as he has only allowed a total of 9 goals in his last 6 games...Nevertheless, the Thrashers are no slouch either as they battled a tough game versus the Eastern Conferences Best Ottawa Senators for a hard fought 3-3 deadlock. The Thrashers have been getting 'good' goaltending from Nurminem as the Thrashers are 4-1-1 in their last 6 games. Outscoring their opponents by a 16-13 margin...Very tempted to play the over here - however I'll take the juicy odds as this team has a good shot at keeping this close and even winning!

Other plays include (no writeups though - however same amount bet - risk 1 Unit

Colorado Avalanche ML +110

Buffalo Sabres at Ottawa Senators Under 5 (-110)

Detroit Red Wings at Calgary Flames Over 5 (-107)

Tampa Bay Lightning ML +135

PO69 · Jan 25, 2003

Well you will catch up real fast if you use higher lines!! I said to use the lines on the contest or if a game is not listed then just use olympic. So in that case then some of your lines need to be changed. Also were we not going to just pick 3 games? Well today there are quite a few games so I might pick a few more than 3. But for our contest purposes you have to use these lines for your games

Detroit/CALGARY 5 over -110
Buffalo/OTTAWA 5 under -115
Atlanta +170
Buffalo +.5 +170
Colorado +110
Tampa Bay +125

It is only fair to do this if we both use the same lines. You can post a different thread for your tracking purposes, but use the contest lines for our picks

PO69 · Jan 25, 2003

Chicago/Pittsburgh under 5 -110
Washington/MONTREAL 5.5 under -120
Buffalo/OTTAWA 5 under -115
Philadelphia +.5 -135
NY Islanders +105
Carolina/FLORIDA 5 under -125
New Jersey -125
Minnesota/SAN JOSE 5 under -130

I got the Pitt line from Olympic when it was available since it wasnt on the contest line page

Looks as though I will suffer my first loss with the Pitt game, you are now back in it. Just make sure to only count the Atlanta win at +170 not +172

Los Angeles Kings ML +120 * 2 UNITS *

--> will count LA Kings (1 Unit) for the COntest purpose!

PO69 · Jan 25, 2003

Well I will NOT be picking so many games on one day again. I wish that we had stuck to 3 games a day. I would have gone 2-1 in that case.

But you get the KINGS at LOS ANGELES +105 not +120!! Make sure when you factor your units today to use the CONTEST spreads and not these other spreads that you put here. Only fair to use contest spreads since i did the same thing. Heck I got New JErsey at -125 myself!!

Damn I really got ****EDDDD by overtime today. I nmy own bets, I lost $2900 on Philly losing in overtime!!!! I had them at +1/2!!! DAMNNNN!!!!! Then the overtime goal in Florida cost me $1500 by tying a big parlay and making the 4 teamer a 3 teamer!!! Weird thing today is that almost EVERY game that i bet to go under went over and almost all other games on the board went under! Talk about your bad days!!!!!!!!

PO69 · Jan 25, 2003

Well for our contest purposes, here is your record for today.

We I get you at +.70 units for the day using the lines that we were supposed to use.

PO69 · Jan 29, 2003

You sure are being quiet today after your horrendous day yesterday. The only game that you won you had the wrong odds posted for our contest. You didnt get +135, I believe that it was +120 or so. Today, Edmonton is -120 not -115. I wonder what your yearly units up would be if you actually used the correct odds?? Oh well it doesnt matter, no one reads your threads anyway. You usually have about 100 or so views, but that is just you checking your thread every 10 minutes. Oh well I will post my units up tonight, I have been real sick lately and havent had the time to be on the computer. I really shouldnt pick any more games the next 3 days and I would win our contest, but i wont play that way. i will give you a chance by picking alot of games today.
Here are my picks

Minnesota at EDMONTON Under 5 -135
Ottawa pick -130
Ottawa at ANAHEIM Under 5 -125
Toronto at CAROLINA Under 5 -130

Make sure to update your record in our contest BY USING THE REAL LINES THAT WE ARE USING!! Now I know that you are going to say that one should bet with the best lines available, but hey I am using the lines from the contest so it is all evened out in the end. I am sure that I could have gotten better odds as well on ALOT of my games, but I stuck by the rules

PO69 · Jan 29, 2003

Here are the updated numbers from our contest BEFORE tonights action.

Playersonly +.70 units
Crazy Jivin Ivan -315

You only have a few days to catch up so you had better hope that I go like 0-5 the next 2 days
