Reduce the Juice for Fri. Jan. 8

[russellk]

2-0 last night with 2 blowouts, and 7-0 last 2 nights.
YTD: 57-13

For tonight, a big card but not tons of games I like:
NBA:
New Orleans (-550)
Phoenix (-240)

NO is at home to NJ, who have 3 wins on the year. In 35 games. Their win rate is 8.5%. I like betting on something that happens more then 90% of the time.
Love Phoenix at home tonight. Should be just like the Houston game the other night, and almost the identical line. Phoenix is real tough at home.

Also really like Washington +8, Toronto +2 and Atlanta -3 but those are off the record.

College:
Detroit (-550)
St. Mary's (-650)

So 4 ML plays and 3 lines that I like.

BOL with whoever you bet on.

I like it!

I put some good chalky alt puck lines at 5 Dimes with these ML bets. Today:

Colorado +1.5 -340
NJ +1.5 -675
Calgary +1.5 -560

TB/NJ: "The last five games between these clubs have been decided by one goal, with six of the last eight finished after regulation." reports AP....Would be a virtual guarantee if TB coming off win and NJ off a loss, but alas, that is not today.

lotta angles on these alt puck bets....

upto Jan 1, 25 of Minnesota's 40 or so games been one goalers--almost every time after a game that wasn't--But lately however...

many angles one could look into would be quite profitable, like how few times Calgary loses to Division or Conference foe, who has less than average offense, by more than 2 goals. Almost never, I would expect. Calgary not posted two consecutive losses by 2+ goals yet this season (but starting backup goalie tonight might break that?).....Things like that!

I need more time to do this stuff!

OK, I looked at another. Colorado has failed to cover +1.5 line just twice in next game after suffering any of their 13 regulation losses this season.

Terryray, that is some good info. NJ looking like shit right now but only 2nd period so still time for them to turn things around. Colorado is a winner and Calgary is still 1st period.

As for me, New Orleans looking good nearing the end of the 3rd quarter, and Phoenix up after 1. Detroit U is a winner with St. Mary's just tipping off.
My Raps pulled of a close win, and Washington won outright, with Atlanta up in the 3rd.

So far so good!

Wow, I cannot believe that NJ actually had a lead with 11 seconds left. Thank god for Chris Paul, as New Orleans wins in the end. Phoenix is in a battle but St. Mary's is looking good, and Atlanta wins by 8 so all 3 of my off the record plays win.

 

[russellk]

Phoenix just couldn't pull it out in the end, even though they had a lead in the last minute of the game.

Final tally for the night, 3-1 on ML's and 3-0 on unofficial plays. All in all nothing to complain about.

YTD: 60-14 (81.1%)

Good night all, and see you tomorrow!

Yup, dodged a bullet with that NJ game suspension. But like I said, the NJ game woulda been super strong if they coming off loss and TB off a win. I ended up not using NJ in any parlay.

That better NJ situation, like the Colo and Calg angles I mention, can make or some very strong bets indeed. Especially if Colo coming off loss and not playing at Vancouver (that is thier two losses in angle I mentioned) Somedays you find these very strong bets with other similar ones to parlay with, such as Lakers coming off a loss and playing some much lesser team at home, or Ravens in must-win to get into playoffs and other ones like that.

Bets like those I've fed to freinds to bet in Vegas and told them--sure, don't pay much but super strong winner--you don't even need to check the scores, waste of time. Bets like that I just walk straight up to the ticket window next day and cash it!
