Wyldnwoody44 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Posted April 8, 2014 Its gettin tense in here.... No more messing around Quote
Hank Posted April 8, 2014 Report Posted April 8, 2014 Oops, I missed Claude's 11 units before. So if the wings lose it might go to TM8? That's like Connolly coming out of retirement and winning the scoring title. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted April 8, 2014 Report Posted April 8, 2014 Ahh Stata. Thankfully it's been about 10 years since I've used that software. 1200 on Detroit. Heh, it seems everyone I talk to outside of political science hates State, while everyone in the field loves it...or tells me I should really learn to use R :lol: Quote
TM8-PL16 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Posted April 8, 2014 i was away for the last four days sorry I didn't bet on the last couple... since i'm at 145, i'll go all in on Detroit. Quote

How is that a smart move for you? Why would you not hold and pray for a Sabres win? That's really the only chance you have. Quote
Eleven Posted April 8, 2014 Report Posted April 8, 2014 12 units each. Damn you two for forcing me to go big. I was hoping to sit this one out with it being in buffalo. Taro and cereal are now forced to bet 11 units or fall out of the competition. If Claude stand pat, and the Sabres win, Claude pretty much wins by default. I hate you both for Making me do this, 15 units (3K) on the wings. Taro and cereal are not forced to do anything, and Detroit may well lose! Frankly, I wanted to stay away from it, too, but someone overtook me on the leaderboard. Wonder who that was? Quote
Hank Posted April 8, 2014 Report Posted April 8, 2014 We'll agree to disagree on on taro and cereal. As far as me taking the lead that is completely your fault for passing on the wings and blues at home. My strategy from here on out, subject to change if my right pinky toe itches, is max units against the Sabres up until the pick-em against the Isles. I'm hoping my lead will be big enough I won't have to bet that one. Quote

I'm hoping my lead will be big enough I won't have to bet that one. Ha! I didn't trust the Wings then just like I don't now. I didn't like the odds on the Blues game at all. I actually almost put a small amount on the Sabres, remember? You and I are very likely going to be betting the same way, provided that we survive, so count on betting that Isles game if we're still in it. Quote
Hank Posted April 8, 2014 Report Posted April 8, 2014 Did you really think the Sabres would win in StL? If not, the the unit cost is not relevant, you're not betting against a spread. Assuming the wings win tonight I'm up almost nine hundred. Even if you bet max units with me my lead will grow because I will have more units available. I figure I'll have 2-3 more units for the Boston game depending on the number. That will put me 1100-1200 ahead of you. I think the rangers line will be closer to the red wings line, the lower the line the more units I'll have available than you. You're right, I'll most likely have to bet the Isles game. But I won't have to bet much, and I won't have to win, I just have to bet the same team you do. You have to bet max units and hope I bet the other team. Quote

I didn't think the Sabres would win a lot of the games that I bet them. Until now, the endgame, I bet the Sabres when I saw incredibly attractive odds. So I seriously considered the St. Louis game. 2. You're correct with the analysis as far as I can tell. Quote
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Posted April 8, 2014 Lieno is going to score 2 tonight for the win...... :) Quote

Cereal Posted April 8, 2014 Report Posted April 8, 2014 Leaderboard as of 4/7 Cereal 2210 Who said this was going to be fun? I've been contemplating this all day here.... I'm going to keep things interesting. I'm at 2210, bet 1400 (seven units) on Detroit. Quote
Taro T Posted April 8, 2014 Report Posted April 8, 2014 @$2,265 3 units ($300) on the boys in b&g. Interestingly, every other survivor picked the Dead Things tonight. Quote

wjag Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 Could be some huge swings if the Sabre beat the Wings tonight. I think they are going to do it. Quote
Eleven Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 Could be some huge swings if the Sabre beat the Wings tonight. I think they are going to do it. I think so too. I never went against my gut until today. Bad news, man, bad news! Quote
Hank Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 I only did it cause you did it. Should have let this one go. Quote
Eleven Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 I only did it cause you did it. Should have let this one go. You have no free will? Quote
Hank Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 Of course. My free will was to react to your action. If you did not bet, maybe ubkev would not have bet, in which case I would have let this one go. Quote
Eleven Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 Just relax. Try to breathe deeply through your nose. It's a fun game in the middle of a horrible season, and as of this time last week, you were getting crushed. Just enjoy it! Quote

You might not be able to set lines the night before if you're using VegasInsider; I've had trouble finding lines there before the morning of a game. Just saying in case you can't use that source.
