Staying up late for some Australian basketball…
This was my own pick… it was an awesome second half for sure!
Ja Morant saves the day!
Most of the picks I make are my own, but someone suggested this play with Brunson, Harris, and Morant — and I played it too. It was awesome!
Super Bowl: Thank goodness for Hopkins’ late TD…
With that late TD catch in a blowout game, Hopkins surpassed 12.5 receiving yards…and, obviously, cashed the TD prop…
Another great one taken at the right time
For the third time that I took this in the past week, the third time it hit! First time in the past week was the Fla/Rangers game, and the next one was the Stars/Sabres game the next day.
Then today I took another shot in a tie game in the third period, this time with 13 minutes left. Took Avalanche at -1.5 but at a lower price of +350. The hope was the Avs would score and then add an empty-netter. I think (but don’t remember exactly) the price was +500 at least (?) but the Avs got a power play, so the price went down. But the Avs scored to go up 2-1 and scored into the empty net late in the game. Yeah!
The good thing about this it hit for the third time in three tries in the past week. These opportunities don’t happen every night, so it takes some scanning with the scores from time to time.
Same idea as day before, but took it too early…
I feel there’s sometimes an opportunity to find big plus numbers in tie games for -1.5 in hockey. One night earlier, I found the opportunity at +450 in the Panthers/Rangers game.
Tonight, it was the Sabres/Stars game in a 2-2 tie in third. But this time, I took it too early, with 13 minutes left, and the number was not as good (only +375). If I’d waited until 10 minutes remaining, then the number would have been bigger.
Dallas took the lead later on and scored into the empty net to cash the -1.5.
Obviously, this will not work out every time. But it’s worth taking a shot at a big number — with a good team in a tie game.
Incidentally, earlier in the day, I was about to do the same in the Canadiens/Golden Knights game… but fortunately, Montreal took the lead at 3-2 just before I could do it.
We’ll see when the next opportunity will be. Lots of other winning picks today, so it was a good day.
