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. This means we’ll keep trucking, only two games short of .500 and due for another different kind of streak. 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. Though we have been successful with road teams before, we are achieving more success on home teams. Historically the NHL has been a fairly even test on the road and at home. 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 ...

Free Pick of the day by Ron

The All Star break is over, and it was a pretty theatrical and annoying one at that. We are back in action tonight with one of the largest lineups of the season. Unfortunately no one will be wearing a cape.

The million dollar question in the air is how will teams be affected by the break?

Lucky for us we only choose one game to work with, so we only need to worry about this effect on a single game basis. The last fact we all encountered were the Red Wings crawling into a deep sleep just before the break. ...

Teams Performance After the All Star Break?

How does the performance chance when the playoff is in sight?

Here is what JonathanMa thinks: “Generally teams become more serious after the all star break. They know that the play offs are just around the corner. Play off contenders will play harder to secure their spots and get that top spot. Weaker teams will compete harder against each other for those bottom 2 play off spots.

I actually expect less surprises after the all star break. Good teams will defeat bad teams like they should. So I generally won’t be concerned very much besides for injuries.”

This is a good knowledge to have for sports investors. Having less surprises is what we need in a long run to be profitable!

Bonus Pick: NHL free Picks of the Day by Ron for 24 January 2012

Fortitude

Recap: A great victory after sticking with it yesterday and not being afraid to show confidence. That’s our second shutout victory where we won the ML and covered the spread. We are back on .500 and if you’ve been following the suggested plays you’re in the black after last night. You may’ve already been ahead as most of our winners also hit for the spread whereas losing plays were mostly ML slight favorites and underdogs. We can also chalk one up for man vs. machine on the human side, as Zcode predicted the Isles.

We are picking a team ...

Why is upset in NHL a good thing?

Every time we get an upset in NHL you might get mad – we lost the money on the obvious sure win where a big team did not show up at home. SO how is it a good thing?

What’s an upset? In NHL the upset happen pretty often. Oilers won over Sharks? Detroit could not beat Columbus and took it to shootout. Oilers again won over Chicago 4-3. You name it, you’ve seen them many times.

On the short sight it looks like a bad thing and makes you lose the bet which is true.

However on the ...

NHL Pick of the day from Ron for 23 January 2012

Home and Home

Recap: Let’s go over some crucial points about our past couple of picks. We are now a game below .500, losing our past two days plays. On one of these days we had two game picks, so it comes out to three losing plays total which moved our record backwards to this point. Now we’re going to move forward and turn it around. Though it’s smart not to look back, we aren’t simply going to move forward in denial like most would. Instead we’re going to make room for some interesting discussion here, hope you enjoy it!
