Dubey 1,035 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 That women's gold Medal game was a heck of a game. USA definitely has the better team though. I made a few in-play bets on the game to spice things up. bet $20 on Canada +120 at 0-0 bet $10 on Canada +260 at 0-1 bet $10 on USA +450 at 1-2 early in the third. (this just locked up a guaranteed profit, plus I thought the odds were too high given game flow. It actually got as high as +700 before USA tied it, I considered betting again, but I didn't want to be more leveraged on a USA victory than a Canada victory) ended up in for $40, out for $55. Would have been out for $80 if Canada won Link to post Share on other sites

Dubey 1,035 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I don't remember exactly when it was in the game, but I just checked the log and I made the bet at 10:59 PM (12:59 AM EST). I want to say it was 5 minutes into the third. I checked later a few minutes before USA tied it up and it was +690 I believe. Link to post Share on other sites

I want to say it was 5 minutes into the third. I checked later a few minutes before USA tied it up and it was +690 I believe. I always wondered this..What is the live betting odds based on? Is it just a statistical game situation? For example this team is -150 to win the game, they are down by 2 goals at 3 min left , hence the number now is xxx??? Those of us that watched that game could see clearly the Americans were outplaying them near the end of the game. Especially in Overtime...Does some sit there and make the line, or is it a mathematical computer generated oddsmaker? Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 flipped over to CBJ-PHI game I see 4min left in the period Shots are 12-8 I couldn't believe it was the 2nd period! 20 shots in 36 minutes? wtf is that? Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Rangers fans going nuts. My good friends included. Grabner goes to the hated Devils. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 If you don't include Colorado Rockies. Which is fine, because the whole premise is the rivalry of proximity. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Love to hear what John thinks. My ranger friends are losing their mind. It’s like if the Leafs traded their leading scorer to the Habs. I would lose it too Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Thats dumb. You make the best deal you can for your team. And if Ranger friends/your friends actually give it some actual thought and proper analysis, they would realize that the best thing they can do when they get a 2nd rounder is to get it from their rivals who they are directly competing against, so they can weaken them in the future when the Rangers are better. Who do they want to be weaker once their rebuild is done, the Devils or the Dallas Stars? its short sighted and frankly, what i hate about fans who care as much about who they hate as much as who they root for. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

All the Ranger fans I know have no problem trading with the Devils. I like this deal for the devils. Grabner was the Rangers MVP this season and it wasn't even close Link to post Share on other sites
Untilted 158 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Really weird how its the best medal tally for Canada ever but with only 1 Gold medal in Hockey and Curling combined I think Canada had 4 golds in the last 2 Olympics in those 2 sports Link to post Share on other sites

The dman is a high end prospect and plays in the same team as the goalie that is supposed to be next starter for Rangers Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Pens have fixed that centre depth problem pretty effectively, it seems. Sheahan down to L4, Brassard to L3 with Kessel. Gives the Pens three terrifying lines. Little concerned about defensive depth with Cole gone, but I'd imagine JR will add a d-man before the deadline. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 @PierreVLeBrun There are still more details to come in this Pittsburgh-Ottawa trade, perhaps a third team involved in some manner... Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 oh and zach, put your 'random' thought where it belongs, in the stupid Penguins thread. (im still rooting for JR, but tiring of how crappy my team is vs yours) Link to post Share on other sites
