Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; show him how to catch fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

This chinese saying suggests that the ability to work is of greater benefit than a one-off handout.

That’s the philosophy behind our idea to create a sports prediction platform Zcode instead of creating yet another sports pick service.

So what’s the difference between sports prediction platform and sports picks service?

The difference is significant. With Sports prediction platform you can do so many things – you can analyze teams, find hot trends, research performance, ...

Ugly NHL in February

It’s obvious February hockey is giving a hard time to all sports investors around the world, even Zcode has got a tough week. Today we took a short interview with our friend Mark Donatiello, an expert NHL capper from the Faster Times who is picking winners for years.

We got a tough week. How are you doing in February Mark?

Tough start to February. I’ve been making small wagers and hitting all my big bets, but this is ridiculous I’m like 4-9, missed the first day of the month where I would have been 1-4, and I’m lucky to ...

NHL Pick of the day by Ron for 3 February 2012

Fighting Streaks

Recap: Yikes! A 1-0 loss is hard to swallow and an unfortunate home loss for Colorado. Minnesota was finally able to protect a lead in the third, it took everything they had as they were heavily and continuously out shot.

Streaks were a big part of the strong times we had, so if possible I say we try and use them for our next game. Also, keep an eye out for another multi game and even several game night. ...

Battle of the Losers

Recap: A road loss for Washington puts us even since our return from the break, and back to a game beneath .500 overall.

Lately home teams have the advantage. The Red Wings are pushing towards the record for consecutive home wins, set by the Bruins over seventy years ago. We’ll use this knowledge to push home teams unless a certain away line is ...

Number Ten

Recap: Easy win yesterday as Pittsburgh deletes a 4-1 deficit in the third period. In case you missed, Pens tied it with six seconds left and Fleury stones Kessel in a shootout. It might be fair to say that Crosby’s absence was a helping factor in a valiant team effort with some heavily celebrated goals. Crosby did have a tendency to get in the team’s way.

That means we are now in positive profit and also back at a .500 record, going for a winning one. The theory that all teams would be at their best seems ...
