sac st won easy, wishing i just played straight up rather than parlayed with colts ml, but I’m being safe
so i am hedging my ticket with 200.00 on Saints ML at +170
I win money regardless of result now
Saints win
risked 700.00 to win 40.00 (540.00 – 500.00)
Colts win
risked 700.00 to win 709.00 (909 – 200)
I hate betting and gambling
i love hedging

headed to vegas for ufc and super bowl sunday and i am going to see how lfar 300 dollars will get me (hotel and airfare not included)
this includes all bets, food, hookers, etc. Basically what I eat for the day will be determined on how well my bets do
i will still make big bets on my online account, but as far for the action in vegas, I’m going to be as frugal as possible
anyways off to bed, wheels up tomorrow

What did I tell you when I first started posting? I harped on betting on anything related to Winnipeg or the Winnipeg Jets….so you can be sure I was excited to hear Teemu was returning to the ducks last night, after Anaheim solidified their goaltending situation with the release of Giggy and the extension to Hiller. Needless to say, Jonas was a man on a mission taking the shutout…with Teemu potting home one goal on the night. 3-0 Anaheim final with the moneyline set at 1.91….after placing my largest wager ever (not going to admit the amount as it’s peanuts compared to some posters on here)
Anyways onto Tuesdays action…
Vancouver -146 over Montreal
I don’t think the habs have anyone who can score, and I think Cammi being out for 6 weeks is really going to hurt the habs (obviously). So I think Vancouver will lose at some point on this road trip, but with Luongo looking to rebound from a shitty game in t.o. combined with the injury…taking the canucks with good value on the road all things considered.
Washington -135 over Boston
Washington has won how many in a row? I know that Boston will be due at some point here to turn a page as they now have almost their full lineup back in action. Boston is 0-5 in their last 5…just think Washington is the better team and will win here…light play on the favorite, could see this game going to overtime possibly. I may also play the over on this game…that’s a gametime decision
Atlanta and Tampa Over 6
Southeast game…totals of 9,7,7,3 in their meetings this year. Teams are both slumping in a sense..and they always play each other well. Not much other explanation here besides the fact im pretty much betting over on every southeast game this year.
Nobody will be there to see the over...

Won’t lie, I have been playing the local sports lottery here in BC during my visit.
I know that countless times I have warned mark and laughed at others for playing sports lotteries and parlays but I can’t help myself
I actually enjoy hearing the “I’m into money song” played by the lotto machine every time I cash in a ticket
But aside from that there is value in playing the lottery as they do not adjust the odds and in the past week I have been able to capitalize on that. Also I like the fact that since I landed in Van that I have only had to make one ATM withdrawal because of my bet winnings. Here’s a look at my bets since I’ve been in BC
Jan 26 & Jan 27
OTT/NJ under 5.5
BUFF/NJ under 5.5
100.00 to win 100.00
won 100.00
Vegas and everywhere else has all NJ unders listed at 5 so I decided to pop my cherry on back to back Devils unders .Yes I know that the payout sucks compared to online but I think in this situation the half point value on the total and the song you get when you cash in a ticket is a good trade off
Also the over under tickets only have 20.00 max so I had to buy five tickets
Jan 29
CLE to win by 5 1.55
LAL to win by 5 1.50
20.00 to win 26.60
won 26.60
FLo5.5
TORu5.5
BOS u5.5
10.00 to win 30.00
loss 10.00
Still sketched out on the lottery so I decided to lower my wagers for this experiment. But thats ok. Decided to make the following bet . Sportsaction requires that basketball teams only win by 5 if you bet them on oddset. So with Vegas having the Cavs line -6 and the lakers at -6.5 I figured why not parlay them on the local lottery
As for my triple total bet in the NHL. I just took value on the line, but actually lost badly on all those picks (well I went 2-1). When playing the local lottery I need to discipline myself and keep bets to two games if I am to turn profit in the long run. But if I am to play three games i need to keep the wager size down to limit losses
Jan 30
Michigan 1.10
Shakrs 1.45
50.00 to win 29.75
won 29.75
Michigan 1.10
Flames 1.55
50.00 to win 35..25
won 35.25
On this day I looked for a solid double digit CBB team and played them on oddset with two pricey hockey picks I liked. Yes very conservative but this ain’t the lottery (well it kind of is but not really). Anyways both hit. yay!.
Jan 31
Tor 1.30
OKC 1.30
50.00 to win 34.50
won 34.50
LAK/NJ u5.5
TOR/IND o216.5
20.00 to win 20.00
won 20.00
Decided once again to look for discrepancies on totals and played oddset in bball with teams favored by more than 5 points and paid off.
Devils under should be 5 and 5 goals were scored, meaning I would’ve pushed had I made this bet online and the raptors over closed at 218, so I liked the value
Anyways decent first week going 6-1 on sports action tickets. I know the payouts suck compared to online but those lines are fucked and heck I rather take money away from the provincial government rather than a bookie.
I like bookies better.

Patty Kane lovin the Vancouver fatties!
The John Madden pic isn’t even worth posting, here is Patty K gettin casual with some generous ladies of the evening.
We can only assume and speculate wildly that Pat actually punched one of them in the face over a quarter, at least it wasn’t 18 cents or whatever the fuck it was.
I love the wave in the picture, so classy.

Is Cgy the worst team in the league right now? Or is the Edmonton oilers? Tough call Cgy just really can’t do much of anything right now they have a 2 goal lead and blow it (Dal) there down 2 goals and fight back to tie it and have many chances to win the game but then get scored on twice in the shoot out and its over (Phx).
Well Edm just seems to consistently get worse and worse and worse as the season goes on, Cgy is 1-11 in there last 12 and Edm is 0-12 in there last 12, now here is my dilema I have Cgy in my chase and it’s the last game i need to complete my chases this week im 0-3 on this Cgy chase as they have lost to Stl, Dal, Phx, now do i drop a shit load of money on Cgy to win this chase and quadrouple up? or do i give up? or do i go to break even? If i chose the last 2 options im basically betting on the 2 worst teams. But if i choose the first option and they win well then i will loose out on a big chase. What a dilema leave me some comments let me know what you would do.

Well lets get things started by reviewing what i did last night i decided that Edm was going to break out of there slump against Dal well lets review, Dal won, Edm is the worst team in the league and what am i doing betting on the worst team in the league? Good question, rookie mistake. Today i made an early play well i was at work,Phi and Car over 5.5 and with 0.04 seconds left in the third period jeff carter golf shots the puck into the net to make it 4-2 Phi. Now it dosn’t get any better than that. Starting off the day in the afternoon with a win is a great feeling as it gives you confidence for the rest of the night but how the night ends well will find out later. My picks for HNIC.
Chi over Van, First off your getting a good price for this one at -120, Chi has been hot and keeps on rolling on this road trip and for some reason they just seem to sweep this alberta/bc road trip. Van is without three key d men in Salo, Mitchell and Bieska were i see the advantage going to the young speedy hawks, Niemi is back in net after a strong performance over Cgy and why not this kid has a 13-3-1 record with a 1.89 GAA and 4 shutouts he is on fire. It’s tough not to bet on the best team in the league when your getting odds like this should be a good game. Chi -120 over Van.
Atl and Tb over, there is this system winnipeg mark did about the SE division and that the games more than 65% go on the over and i like that stat as it has proven usefull this year, this year 3 meetings between the teams has produced 7,7,9 goals. Both teams are in playoff contention and they stand one point away from eachother so with defense not being a big part of there teams look for both of them to up stage the other with goals and with the fire power of lecavlier, st.louis, stamkos, tanguay, afiniganov, kovalchuck, antropov to name a few hitting 6 goals should’nt be a problem for these two clubs. Atl and Tb over 6.
Ana over Stl, This is a very interesting game, the ducks seem to be playing better as they should be now that they have worked out some of the kinks that lead them to a slow start, hiller is in net tonight and with a 6-1-1 record in his last 8 against Stl that is something that you can’t ignore some goalies just seem to do better against certain teams. Stl does have the worst home record even though they have played better as of late but the most intersting stat is what Ana is paying +115, and as they are the better team i like those odds, this will be a tough game to watch but at that price for the better team i have to go with it. Ana +115 over Stl.
So these are my picks for the night might add one more but feel very confident about these three. Good luck.
