Stars DO matter.

Stars DO matter.

Yesterday we had a good example on how a small difference in stars can mean a big difference in results. After noticing Nabokov in the net Zcode disqualified Capitals from 4 to 3 stars and they could not even score against him. On the other hand 3.5 Star Sharks had a real hard time beating Flames at home.

Why? In professional sports teams the difference between players is smaller than you would expect. The bookies and mass media hype star players to draw more attention to specific teams and move the lines in their favor. So  ... 

The Bet of the day by Ron: NHL Pick for 17 January

NHL Spotlight

To recap: The ultimate streak reversal has been completed. The red hot Ottawa Senators were impeached at home by the struggling Jets. On the bright side, we get an example of how one game can prove current streaks absolutely meaningless. Also, what better motivation to move on and break down the league than starting 0-1 with a shutout! The Detroit Red Wings highlighted the night with their record setting 14th home win in a row at the Joe Louis Arena.

For tonight’s games we look at the televised match up Nashville Predators versus the New York Rangers at  ...

The trend is your friend? With a stabbing knife.

The trend is your friend? With a stabbing knife.

I hate all these trends like “They are 7-2 in the last 9 meetings since 1932″ that sports preview writers love to use in articles to make it sound smart.. This makes me want to vomit.

Is it even relevant how they played long time ago with different players, coaches, circumstances!?? What was the team conditions, who cares when it sounds smart.

Or “this goalie is 6-1 against this team in his carrier”. How is it relevant if he is now playing for completely different team and completely under-performing  ...

Starting fresh in 2012?

Magic score 3-7 ? I was thinking a lot why road dogs (Jets and Tampa) got blown away 2 times in a row especially with such a big and similar score ? What’s different about those games?

Here is what was different. In both cases it was  ... 

Winter Classic 2012: Is it really “Rangers and Under”?

I think on games like this the most obvious choices (Rangers & Under) are the wrong ones because of the amount of betting people do on such public events.

If we try to see what bookies want us to do (putting much stronger team rangers as underdog asking us to bet on them), keeping the Total at 5.5 and taking everyone on Under instead of moving it to 4.5 or 5 like they usually do when they REALLY expect the under.

4-2 Flyers win and Total will be the score that bookies will be happy with today and that  ...
