Free NHL Picks Contest ($100 Prize): Pittsburgh Penguins at Washington Capitals

NHL Picks Contest: Pittsburgh Penguins at Washington Capitals

Wednesday, February 25th

There was a time where the NHL would have had you believe that Washington Capitals Vs Pittsburgh Penguins was the premier rivalry in hockey. Alex Ovechkin Vs Sidney Crosby, the concussions, the hatred, and two of the elite teams in the east… but the Washington Capitals never really lived up to expectations and haven’t delivered any playoff success during the Ovechkin era, and really, Crosby’s Penguins have disappointed since his injury-plagued seasons too. Right now, the Caps are playing great hockey and surging, one point ahead of a slumping Penguins team that is starting to get healthy again.

When these teams meet on Wednesday, who ya got? It’s still a wide open competition, with just three successful predictions last week. Remember, first to ten wins $100. It’s free to participate and easy. Simply comment on this post pinned to the top of our Facebook page to participate!

NHL Picks: Nashville Predators at Buffalo Sabres

NHL Picks: Nashville Predators at Buffalo Sabres

The Preds are coming off a tough loss to a weak team and the road trip continues, making this an interesting game given the sharp line. That said, the Nashville Predators are quite simply the better team here and I don’t see how the Buffalo Sabres will keep pace.

I see some parlay value here and expect a money line win from the Predators, but I won’t be investing aggressively here. The line is very sharp, the Predators are tired, the backup is in net, they’re on the road, and the Sabres aren’t  ... 

NHL Picks: Minnesota Wild at Edmonton Oilers

NHL Picks: Minnesota Wild at Edmonton Oilers

The Edmonton Oilers are playing good hockey by their standards. Realistically, even with the Boston Bruins hurting the way they are right now, that was still an impressive win. That said, the Minnesota Wild are playing much better hockey than Boston right now, and I don’t see them letting this one slip away.

Quite simply, if you got in early enough, there’s value here. -160 was my opening line, and even early this morning we had -170. The movement continues to rise, which is a sign of Vegas fearing public money. I like  ...

NHL Picks Contest ($100 Prize): Standings Update, Flyers Blue Jackets

Only three of our contestants got our contest game right, so the standings look pretty similar. Duane has jumped into a five-win tie with Robert and Mike, while Lee jumped into striking range at four wins. It’s still anyone’s game, and your continued participation keeps our contests going. First to ten wins takes the whole thing, but we’ve seen leaders stumble and the door is wide open.  Simply follow along on our Facebook page to participate.

CASH CHAMPIONSHIP – NBA & NHL KING 2015 – ROUND 5 RECAP

CASH CHAMPIONSHIP – NBA & NHL KING 2015 – ROUND 4 RECAP

Round 4 is behind, but some things don’t change from the beginning! Nelzon Munts(nflranders) is hitting bomb after bomb, Robert(robivoncin) stays close to him and then we have bunch of players with more or less 3 units loss to the leaders. Three units is solid advantage, but it is possible to make up for the loss of even a single round. So keep pushing hard despite this is one of the strongest openings in contests history. It is really great to see such a great efforts from contenders, it makes contest more spicy  ... 

NHL Picks Contest: Columbus Blue Jackets vs Philadelphia Flyers

NHL Picks Contest: Columbus Blue Jackets at Philadelphia Flyers

Tuesday, February 17th

What happened to the Columbus Blue Jackets? Last time I looked up they had their goalie of the future, a great core of young skaters, and all the momentum in the world after last season. And for that matter – what happened to the Philadelphia Flyers? Mason was serviceable last season and the top-line scoring they built the roster around has evaporated a little. That said, Philly is hot right now and difficult to beat at home. Still, they’ve been pretty streaky this season and the momentum they have today might be gone by next week… either way – who ya got?

As always, to participate, simply comment on this post pinned to the top of our Facebook page. First to ten wins, and after a small hiatus (SORRY), it’s still anyone’s game!

NHL Picks: Dallas Stars at New York Rangers

NHL Picks: Dallas Stars at New York Rangers

The Dallas Stars are coming off a bad loss and both teams are exhausted following back to backs. The Stars, however, are on the road in a very tough place to play. I think that gives the New York Rangers enough of an edge to justify the -150 line here and I’m jumping in.

New York is the stronger team overall and Dallas has been very streaky. The Stars are inconsistent, but go on long stretches of poor play and long stretches of good play. New York has been strong for most of  ...

CASH CHAMPIONSHIP – NBA & NHL KING 2015 – ROUND 2 RECAP

Action gets going quickly in this contest edition! Top of the table is extremely stable as in this phase of the competition. We have big trio in the top who launch heavy missiles in the early stage of the contest and is very successful with this tactic. Some experienced guys and big names from previous edition started conservatively and settled in places 11 – 30, steadily building bankrolls and preparing position to attack in later stages. You can find there last contest champ Snork(clevy77), longest streak winner Gergely(geri.rulett), points rank winners Glenn(gp76), Setso(nicolas7210)  ... 

Interview with Jan. NHL Professional Comentator and Expert

1. Hi Jan, tell us more about yourself – where are you from, and how did you get into sports investing?

Hi Zcode family, I am from Prague, Czech republic and for last few years I was regular punter. I thought if I know something about the sport I could earn some bucks from betting. But even though I tried different methods I won and lost quite evenly. Then my cousin Karel, who lives in London, showed me some tricks how to win some risk free money and at the beggining of summer he introduced me Zcode. It  ...
