Ha. I hit a 4 teamer on NHL yesterday. Was getting frustrated so I picked 4 dogs and put a couple bucks on it. Figured if I’m gonna lose might as well have good odds in the process. So……the first 3 hit and I’m ahead 1-0 in the 4th game, have a decent cashout option so I take it. 4th team goes ahead and wins so I left about 20% of my payout on the table :facepalm: I’m telling ya I’m cursed. But at least I didn’t lose.ME:
Also ME:
4 bad weeks in a row (2 teamers, sometimes 3)
Tempting and fun, but so hard to parlay

I actually prefer betting on hockey to football. Probably because I do much better at it.

I put my last 5 on Washington (college hoops) -23. With 3 minutes left in game, that super small cali team went on 12-0 run. Huskies won by 22. I know right?!
This was years ago and I stopped everything for 5 years because of it lol. It's amazing

Reminds me of a joke a friend and I only need the punch line to:
A guy calls his bookie (probably @teachercd but we'll just say a guy):
How'd I do on my NFL bets?
You were 0-10.
Ouch. How'd I do on my MLB bets?
Well .... you were 0-10 there as well.
You're kidding me?!?!?!? How'd I do on my NBA bets?
Sorry to say ... you're 0-10 there also.
Holy s#!t!!!! How can I get some of that back?
Well ... there's a full slate of NHL games tonight.
Hockey?!?!??! I don't know anything about hockey!!!!

I feel like hockey is really similar to betting baseball. If you stay away from ever betting a -200 favorite and blindly bet any underdog that is priced above +175 you'll come out of the season doing not too bad. Those big favorites absolutely kill you when they lose.

IMO baseball and hockey are nothing alike. Maybe just because I win at hockey and lose (lost) my a$$ on baseball. I will not bet on baseball. Period.
Baseball is basically a bunch of teams that are not far removed from .500 records. I have no feel for when any team is going to win or lose. In hockey there are good teams and bad teams and the style mismatches are more obvious. But yeah, it is a tough way to make money when you have to give -145 to -200 odds and foolish to start giving points. I try to stick with sub -175 odds or, if they’re higher and I really like them, I’ll parlay 2 or 3 together. Prop bets are notoriously bad bets but I’ve made a ton of money on player’s shots, goals, and points. I also like win/total combinations. Good way to tilt the odds in your favor.
