NHL Picks Contest: Free $100 Facebook Hockey Contest

NHL Picks: Start of Our Free $100 Contest, Round One

— Philadelphia Flyers at Carolina Hurricanes, Tuesday Nov. 5th

The Carolina Hurricanes have been a perfect representation of mediocrity since their Stanley Cup win, but goaltending injuries have them really struggling. The Flyers are in some sort of a half-hearted rebuild effort. A slow start has them at the bottom of one of the weakest divisions in hockey. In a battle of mediocrity, who will win?

Post your money line winner on our Facebook page to be eligible for our free $100 contest. Second place will get $50. First to ten wins takes the prize.

NFL Picks Week Nine: Cincinnati Bengals at Miami Dolphins, Thursday Night Football

NFL Picks Week Nine: Cincinnati Bengals at Miami Dolphins

I never thought the Dolphins were all that good. I bet them for under on total wins, Ive bet against them for profit all year. I don’t think the Dolphins at 2.5 will cover.

The Bengals have a good team. Great defense, good running game, excellent deep threat passing game. Balance should be the key here. Cincy has an edge as long as they can play their game in this one, which will be tough on the road but I expect them to get it done.

Public money is coming in ...

NHL Picks: Free $100 Facebook Contest Announced

NHL Picks: Free $100 Contest Announced!

Our highly successful MLB Facebook contest came down to the wire, requiring a tiebreaker round that continued all the way to an incredibly exciting Game Four of the World Series. Now that we’ve finished with our baseball contest, it’s time to announce another round of our free contests, the 2013 NHL edition.

As with our baseball contest, we’ll be posting a featured game just about every week. Simply comment on that game, which will usually be a challenging game to predict, with who you think will win. This is a moneyline only competition. The first contestant to correctly predict the outcome of ten specially selected games will win the $100 prize. You do not need to be a VIP member to participate (though it does seem to help – our winners through the years are very often members)!

Keep your eyes peeled for Facebook posts designated for the competition. We’ll have our first post later ...

NHL Picks: Chicago Blackhawks at Florida Panthers

NHL Picks and Predictions: Chicago Blackhawks at Florida Panthers

Okay, maybe it’s crazy to follow me when my heart is involved. I don’t know how the Devils won the last game we featured, but I’ll take a 4-0 romp out of those New York jerks any day. Sorry, just had to relish that moment one more time before getting into this pick:

Z-Code and I love the BLackhawks. They’re consistent, they’re fundamentally sound, they’re well coached, they’re deep, and they win.

I do fear the upset on the road against the Florida Panthers. This is a decent team, not far ...

MLB Picks and Predictions – A look into Mark’s MLB Picks System – Friday, August 2nd

I apologize for being away yesterday. I just moved to New Orleans and my internet situation is tentative at best. I lost a day because my shipment carrying all of my items came into the port late. It’s been a rough go, but we’re back with picks today.

As penance, I wanted to give you all my system plays today. We have a lot of bets out, seemed like a great time to roll out a more comprehensive post. You guys deserve ...

Seattle Mariners at Boston Red Sox

Felix Hernandez Vs John Lackey – two ace pitchers square off in this exciting matchup at Fenway Park! Boston is hot, but Felix Hernandez is by far the hottest pitcher in baseball right now. Lackey has been the Red Sox’s best pitcher so far this year. This is sure to be quite a game!

NHL Stanley Cup Game Five: Boston Bruins at Chicago Blackhawks

I’m going to outline my betting strategy through the series and what I’ll be doing going forward, but first, a little Z-Code analysis:

A mixed signal shows three-star underdog value on the Bruins, two-star odds to win favorites on the Blackhawks, and a 56/44 ML % odds to win on the Blackhawks. In short, this is a volatile game with a slight lean to the Hawks and conflicting parameters. The +1.5 line is 75% likely to hit, so the computer will continue to ride that bet. I won’t.

HEre is ...

NHL Playoffs Picks and Predictions: Pittsburgh Penguins at New York Islanders

The Pittsburgh Penguins made a gutsy move to sit their franchise goaltender in favor of a veteran that was run out of the last two teams he played for.

As a backup, Vokoun was mediocre, but the Penguins needed a spark. He shut out a scrappy Islanders team and put the Penguins in position to close out the series. Back in net for the second game in a row, I think the Penguins and Vokoun will get that goal accomplished.

We have a heavy line for our series bet, ...

NBA Featured Game: New York Knicks Vs Brooklyn Nets

I was a bit hesitant to feature this game. Z-Code is on the Knicks and we all know how unsuccessful I’ve been challenging the mighty computer. Still, I’m on the Nets and so are my expert colleagues. The JPM system is on the Nets +6, Damon is on Nets +6 (a great basketball mind in the VIP club), Victor expects a close game. With this much community support, and the value I already saw on the Nets, I have to press this one.

Quoting Vinh from the VIP Club:

According to the ...

NFL Picks and Predictions, Monday Night Football – Eagles Saints

NFL Featured Game, MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL 11/5: Philadelphia Eagles at New Orleans Saints

We crushed the 1:00 games on Sunday, winning six of seven and hedging out of the rest of our bets to finish the day up a remarkable 16 units on a variety of medium confidence bets. Our featured game was a blowout, and Las Vegas took a beating. Public money was heavy on the Ravens, Bears, and Broncos – and all three came through for us. Monday, Vegas looks to get their money back by baiting a trap for the only NFL game of the night. ...
