*** OFFICIAL *** FFA WAGERING THREAD - Merry Christmas!!! (6 Viewers)

:(  Any thoughts on MTL/VCR tonight? I put a small bit on Vancouver based entirely on the goalie matchup.
I'm joking, I'm addicted, I'm not going anywhere.

No man, for real you know LOADS more about hockey than I do.  I actually thought about passing on the Avs cause of the Arizona goalie and didn't listen to that whisper in the back of my mind saying it might be a bad idea.  Let me follow your lead in that sport, certainly not the other way around.

 
St. Louis Blues -152. Blues have had one goal games in 10 of their last 11, including 3 against the Sharks (they won 2, lost 1), so this probably won't be stress free but I still think they should be bigger favourites than this. Ideally it's Binnington/Dubnyk but I'm fine with any goalie combination.

Arizona Coyotes +164. Value bet, they should only be +140-150ish. If Mackinnon and Makar both play it changes things a bit but I don't expect Makar to be back and Mackinnon alone doesn't move the line 10%.

Vancouver/Montreal is in play on both sides, if it's Demko/Price combo then I'd fire up Vancouver. If it's Holtby/Allen, I'd go Montreal. Demko/Allen will depend on line movement/may not have a play.

Edit - what the hell, let's do a STL/EDM parlay too.
####### Blues. Coyotes win almost covers the Blues and parlay loss, but again, ####### Blues.

I'm packing it in for tonight at 4/6 here, with Rakell at 2 shots (and 2 goals) with the third period to go. I think it's going end up close to another break even night, with Rakell shots prop and Canucks win the only ones in the balance  :shrug:

My hockey numbers for the year - the big parlay win is carrying a lot of weight in the parlays and overall totals here, sides are what I've been best at and should be sticking too but the props are so much fun:

OVERALL +50.183units  89-71

SIDES +17.666u   57-33

PARLAYS +28.751u   7-14

SHOT PROPS  +4.824u   22-14

ALL OTHER PROPS  +2.442u  3-4

TOTALS    -3.5u    0-6

 
Dallas Stars -123  - Number seems way too low to me. edit - and it's climbed to 132. Still worth in anything under 140.

Toronto Maple Leafs -186. Should be back to Andersen in net, Toronto hasn't lost 3 straight all season.

New Jersey Devils +171. They should be in the 160 range with Vanecek in net, Tom Wilson out, etc... I don't love this but value, etc..

I'll likely do a few parlays involving TOR, PHI, CAR, TB, all big favourites who should be even bigger favourites. I may look at the math and see if it makes sense to round robin all of them.

So I did this. I haven't done it before. Basically I have 6 x two team parlays, 4 x three team parlays and 1 x four team parlay. 

If 3 win, I should be close to even, if all 4 win it's 2.7x on a significant (5.5 unit, I did these all at half) size bet. If 2 or fewer win, I set stuff on fire. 

I'm obviously fairly confident at least 3 hitting, here's to not having anything dumb happen tonight.

I did a Stars/Leafs Parlay at +168

Then I had to use a 3 leg parlay bonus today on college B-Ball I just took Duke/Iona/Gonzaga at -138. Not going to be a big payday, but I already lost one bonus this week due to me not using it.

Toronto ❌ got goalie'd big time, were better team.

Carolina ✅ Came down from 2-0 to win 3-2 in OT

Philly ✅  Came down from 3-1 and 4-2 to win 5-4 in shootout

Tampa ✅ OT

---

A slight loss on this gambit. And the day as a whole will be the same with DAL and CAR winning and NJ and TOR losing. I tailed @CFB Sicko on the BYU call but haven't been in here tonight to get on the rest.

As always, ####### Leafs.

Em is on the right track in cbb.  The touts I tend to tail have been heavy on faves lately.  Dogs are covering at a crazy rate lately.  Tread lightly, squares like me.

 
Minnesota Wild -104 - Alex Pietrangelo is out, Mark Stone is a game time decision. Kaapo Kahkonen is in net for Minnesota and is red hot.

Montreal Canadiens -145 - I'd like to see Allen in net but have some confidence in this either way.

Early shot calls (these are still just small bets for me)

  • Kirill Kaprizov O2.5 +136
  • Mikko Rantanen O2.5 -176
  • Dustin Brown O2.5 +100
  • Tyler Toffoli O2.5 -140
 
1H - Marquette / Georgetown U68

Starts in 10 minute.
Air Force / UNLV U127.5

It's one of the lowest totals of the day. These teams played each other twice this year and the totals for that game were: 126 & 133

Air Force appears to be awful. I can see them being held under 50 points with this being a "tournament game" the kids should dial up a little defense and play the game the right way.

Starts in 15 minutes.

I hope all the kids die.

 
It is remotely funny that I go into a meltdown after going 1-2 on a sport that I am inexperienced with. 😂

Like I'm trending 50% but even that disgusts me. Losing is unacceptable.

 
Northwestern setting college basketball back to the peach basket era.  2 points through 11 minutes of playing time.

 
I'm throwing a bit on Anaheim Ducks at +120 tonight with news that LA is starting Troy Grosenick (3rd string) in goal with Cal Petersen put on covid list today. 

 
Wizards / Grizzlies O237

Vegas is begging you to take the under. First game back from All-Star Break and THIS is the game they dangle in front of us.

Not the Lakers.
Not the Nets.

The Wizards vs the Grizzlies. Neither team plays defense. Nearly 100% certain this is a honeypot to get people on the under.

 
Northwestern setting college basketball back to the peach basket era.  2 points through 11 minutes of playing time.
97 total points.  Went UNDER the Vegas total by ***44*** points.  Both teams shot in the 30s percent overall, 20% from 3....

*****41.7%***** from the FREE THROW LINE.

Might as well have played with a medicine ball.  What a poop show.
