There's a tweet I'm trying to find that shows the Flyers record with and without Vinny in the lineup.

IIRC they haven't won a game with him in the lineup.

I would 100% believe that.

 

[Foggy]

Crazy how Wennberg has managed to make Campbell and Boll look competent

 

[Fata1moose]

Can't imagine that the Avs would trade Duchene/Varly unless someone wanted to wildly overpay which wouldn't make any sense so it seems moot.

Iggy I can see getting traded but just in the "here, go try to get a cup" sense.

I could see Varlamov being traded with how he's playing. Especially with Picks waiting.

Chad Johnson robbed Kucherov, lulz

Another here bet on sports frequently?

I used to. I had better success at hockey than baseball, but ultimately it was a struggle to break even. There are scheduling quirks that you can take advantage of, but it's really hard to make significant money betting on hockey. I gave up trying.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Sadly this season, this is closer to the truth than we want to admit.

 

[Foggy]

Markstrom WOW

 

[Pikma]

You follow any kind of source or guide, or just go on your own intuition?

I follow the lines a lot, even on days I don't play. At first none of it makes sense and you'll hardly get anything out of it but once you learn to "read" them they're ridiculously useful. I tend not to go with intuition since I consider that to be lazy and also the easiest way to lose money, maybe once in a while just for fun but definitely not regularly.

Have you been doing it for a while or are you just starting?

 

[Silexx]

SMITH!!

I used to do soccer bettings back home and I just followed intuition

I've started betting more and more the past few weeks on hockey, it's gone really well but there's still some bets I don't feel I know enough to make.

 

[ColdPizza]

Eichel almost had a 2nd PP goal but a loose goalie stick deflected it into the post.

Yeah it's really hard but it's possible!

For example?

[Red_Man]

For example?

Mostly betting on Western teams, just because I don't get to watch them as often. I stick to the lines mostly as you said, then there's odd bets I'll make against the line if I feel there's a good chance of it going that way.

 

[Xeteh]

I could see Varlamov being traded with how he's playing. Especially with Picks waiting.

I wouldn't hate that but I just don't see it. Varly is playing like balls but he's a better goalie than that and they won't let him go for less than his value.

 

[Parch]

Yeah it's really hard but it's possible!
For example?

The only tip I can offer is betting against teams who play 3 games in 4 nights. That third game is a disadvantage, especially if travel is involved.

 

[MetatronM]

Oh forgot to mention before, in addition to setting the new franchise record for saves tonight, Henrik Lundqvist also set a new franchise record for games played by a goaltender.

Busy night for Hank.

Amazing. +100 points to Dallas.

What I do when I don't feel like I know enough of one or both teams is just skip it, I think that's the smartest choice in those scenarios, and maybe start following them so I have more info in hand next time. But yeah sometimes shit ends up going to whatever way, I still haven't found a way to counter that :lol

 

[Xeteh]

More like Radko Goonas.

Jerk.

Mac finally gets his first of the year at :13 of the third.

 

[Pikma]

What the fuck Hemsky

 

[Xeteh]

Man, great timing on that goal. Too busy trying to fight instead of penalty kill, get scored on.

He's a dongle. I would say "I don't know why he's not a healthy scratch" and then I remember the other alternatives and I'm OK with it... kinda.

Still shook from that Bautista home run.

 

[MetatronM]

Hurricanes are now 0-for-6 on the power play tonight.

And that's with us scratching one of our best PKers in Dom Moore.

Yea, I don't place a bet unless I feel pretty good about it. Do you usually just go with the favourites and try and add up the smaller wins?
