Oilers - Total Shots on Goal
Over 27.5 (-120)

Avalanche - Total Shots on Goal
Over 31.5 (-145)

Maple Leafs - Total Shots on Goal
Under 28.5 (-120)

Stars - Total Shots on Goal
Under 30.5 (-120)

Wild - Total Shots on Goal
Over 27.5 (-120)

Sabres - Total Shots on Goal
Over 26.5 (-120)

Panthers - Total Shots on Goal
Under 30.5 (-120)

Blues - Total Shots on Goal
Under 27.5 (-130)

Islanders - Total Shots on Goal
Under 30 (even)

Kings - Total Shots on Goal

thx. please post what you got. Was planning on waiting til Thursday at SB for the 25% free bet, but if something better comes along (doubt it), I'm all ears
sportsbetting.ag just gave me 50% freeplay on a 2k deposit, 6x rollover.

wagerweb gave me 200% on a $1000 deposit...35x rollover which sucks but I should be able to clear it because of college basketball
Did sportsbetting.ag require you have a $0 balance and $0 pending bets? They tried to deny my last reload bonus (a few months ago), because I had a pending future, but a $0 balance. They gave me a one-time exemption to the reload bonus.

ETA: no 50% free play for me, only 25%, and its no good if you have a pending bet. Free plays require $0 balance and $0 pending.

My Heritage rep has been leaving me voicemails since December like I owe him money. He seems desperate.

Another interesting stats for those thinking teaser -

Since this is arbitrary betting season, the #1 defense is undefeated in the Super Bowl. 7-0.
Just to be contrary, ESPN's bottom line said that no team with zero SB player experience has ever won.

Interesting. How many teams does that include?
i have a feeling it does not happen very often.
That's my thought as well which may reduce the significance of the observation.

Of course one could say that maybe most teams like that wouldn't even make it to the SB to be included in the stat. :shrug:

 
Vegas has -2.5 across the board now. Gotta figure a lot of SEA buyback happens at 3, SB only had them there for a few hours on Sun/Mon.
I haven't been following today but SEA was +3 (-115) at Bovada yesterday.

I've been loading up on SEA +3 and doing chalk parlays with the Denver ML hoping for a nice middle opportunity on game day.

Yep.

On SEA +9.5 / Under 55.

The books have admitted they already have inflated totals to try to balance out crazy public action on the Over... starting with an already inflated line, adding a tease and you're looking at getting 10+ points over the actual projected number. :thumbup:

FYI looks like Sportsbook might be about to move to 3 as a key number again... heavy juice (-125) on DEN -2.5

Keep an eye on the forecast... if it looks bad, books are anticipating a line swing toward SEA with the game possibly moving back to a PK or even with SEA ending favored :o . Could open up a considerable middle for some.

If I were doing a tease, this would have to be it.

 
I just verified that Bovada is offering SEA +3 (-110) right now.

ML: +125/-145

EDIT: just moved to +3 (-115) I guess.

SB has SEA +2.5 (+105) and you can buy it up to +3 (-120) there if you want.

The weather is worrisome. I really want to hit this tease but I'm going to be in Vegas and will want to put my money down there where the weather will be more or less known by the time I hit town. 10 day forecast is pretty cold but just starting to warm up at the tail end of it.

 
I got crushed on the under pro bowl last year. I thought Goodell threatening to end the game would give them some incentive to play defense but that obviously didn't happen.

I made that back taking the under in the NBA all star game. Six+ points per minute is basically unsustainable. I am passing on the pro bowl total this year and going w the NBA under as long as it is 290 ish again.

 
In the association I teased the Heat, Nets, and Thunder by 4.5 to get bet 10 to win 19.

Heat coming home off a loss, Nets playing will of late, and the Thunder facing a Trailblazer team that got blown out and is on a B2B.

 
Also tailed IU +13 but then found out IU is missing Sr. player Sheehey
spartans missing payne, plus they have just played better on the road for some reason. Last 2 home games were wins but in OT, all road games have been double digit wins though
I'd guess the line accounted for Payne being out but not for Sheehey. With that said, the Hoosiers are playing well. MSU looks lost offensively.

Yes. BetOnline and sportsbetting.ag are essentially the same book. Same lines same software. I currently have pending futures at BetOnline so I reload sportsbetting. I try to bet all futures at one book so I can do reloads at the other.

 
I was thinking about how big a difference statistically it made when I took Dallas 7.5 instead of 8. I went back to 2009 and made a table and chart of the SU margin of victory of every NFL game since 2009 that ended with a margin of victory between 0 and 28 points. I feel better about not getting the 8, and don't care about 9 anymore. You may have to zoom-in. link
 
What are your guys thoughts on point range props?

Ex. Denver wins by 1-3 +446, Denver by 4-6 +760, etc.

Seems like if you like the side, these are decent value.

BTW Denver by 19-21 +2900 whoa!

Pm MarshallPlan re:these. He's our resident expert and he made well past 6 figures in 2009 (I know because he told us 2009 times)

Blues - Total Shots on Goal

Under 27.5 (-130)

This one is like stealing.
I missed it earlier, but the Avs over 31.5 isn;t like stealing... it is stealing. Of course it's all the way up to -175 now but frankly I think it's a good bet all the way up to like -300.

Toronto has given up over 34.5 shots in 9 of the last 10 road games and Colorado likes to shoot. I have the line around 36.5 and I still wouldn't bet the under 36.5.

Vegas will know if the teams lucky waterboy is out and adjust accordingly.
