So this chase system was great and proved to be very profitable untill chases started getting into the 3rd and 4th game were it got very expensive to continue to chase, so as a result i called off 2 chases (Van to win 4 of 14 & Wsh over) which has my record at 17-2, Now the Wsh over bet did actually hit as they beat Nyr 6-5 but it would have cost me 40% of my bankroll to chase that and im more of a beleiver in going for a team winning not scoring goals. In the end yes i would have hit that chase but i actually played it smart not risking my healthy bankroll that i have built up over 400% from my initial start up. Now this dosn’t mean i will not keep chasing i just need to pick smarter chases that’s all. So looking ahead to today’s plays.
Buf Car under: With Buf still being one of the leagues best under teams and playing at home after that bad loss to Ott look for miller to regain some confidence with a bounce back win and playing solid hockey (good teams/goalies know how to bounce back after a disapointing game). Car looks to be on one of there hot and cold modes and this is there cold mode losing 2 in a row on the start of this road trip coming from Edm to Cgy and now all the way to Buf. Car also has one of the worst road records @ 6-18-4, I like this game as the line is set at 5.5 which usually for Buf it is set at 5 and getting good odds also at -130. Buf Car under 5.5 @ -130.
Nj over tor. Playing in a home and home, the big news here is the signing of Ilya Kovalchuck who the devils desperatly needed as they are lacking in the scoring department this season as there are in the bottom half of the league in goals for, now with Kovi and Marty B in net look out the devils will be good cup contender’s. Still not convinced that Tor big trades have made them a way better team as they gave up a lot of goal scorers for phaneuf. Brodeur is 6-2 last 8 against the leafs. I am solely basing this pick on the impact that Kovalchuck will have on the devils and the fact that Marty B is having a stellar season. Nj over Tor -210.
Chi over Phx. Chi has lost 2 in a row and they havn’t lost 3 games in a row all season long. Also a big factor to take into consideration is Chi is 21-6-1 @Home while Phx is 13-10-3 on the road. Reason why Phx is having a better year is there play at home but there road play is were it will get them into trouble, also with Phx losing one of it’s top scorers in Scottie Upshall (49GP, 18G, 32A) he leads Phx in goals. Also it is confirmed that Bryzgalov will not be in net tonight as he get’s the night of for Lababera to take the pipes, Bryzgalov also has been a big part of Phx season. Huet seems to be struggling last 2 games but watching Chi play a lot this year i’ve noticed his ability to quickly bounce back after bad games. Your getting decent odds on this one considering Chi is at home but i like this game lots of stuff pointing to Chi’s favour. Chi over Phx -220.
Good luck
