We are about a month into the NHL season and things are rolling. As I looked late last night an realized that last night would be a loss, I got to thinking about how I got away from posting the Units won/lost. I will start that back up when I post the recaps. I also got to thinking about the numbers I had posted and how they seemed off. I want to be transparent as possible and wanted to get to the bottom of why the numbers were off. I went back through tweets, posts, etc and found the issue. From my post on 10/17 I took the number from that week and that week only (from the 8th on), omitting the plays from the 4th-7th. So this morning I went back through and checked every post, play, tweet, etc and here are the correct October Numbers:
56 – 35 – 1 .6154 +18.72 Units.
That is correct and more closely matches what my bankroll reflects. That is right where we want to be and that includes several bad beats. Bad beats are part of the game and they happen both ways. But how often do teams give up a 3-4 goal lead? Not often, but it’s happened 3 times or more. Last night I had a personal play on Colorado. They were up 4-1 and one point and I kinda stopped paying attention to it. Well, Calgary rattled 5 straight goals in the 3 to win… another bad beat, though, only a personal play. Just an example of this crazy investing/betting world. We will look to improve on the +18.72 Units in November and beyond. Thanks for reading the articles and playing along. GL2ALL.
Last night (11/1/18): 4 – 5 for -.60 U
Season to Date: 60 – 40 – 1 .6000 +18.12 Units

Florida Panthers @ Winnipeg Jets – 2 PM EST
These two teams just played each other yesterday in Florida, with the Jets coming through 4-2. They are back at it this afternoon in an early game of 2PM EST. We cashed on the Jets yesterday and I am looking to do so again today. I am taking the Jets -140. The Jets are playing well, especially at home, where they are 5-1-1. They know that they can beat this Florida team, doing so yesterday afternoon. Florida has not fared well in Winnipeg. The Jets are 23-7 all time against Florida and 8-1 in Winnipeg. I look for more of that to continue. I also like the Over 5.5 goals.
Colorado Avalanche @ Vancouver Canucks – 10PM ET
Colorado was in action last night, I was on them on a personal play and they blew a 4-1 lead. Vancouver has been off a day after cashing a ticket for us on the 31st. As has been mentioned, Vancouver has been a dog in EVERY game this season. That trend continues tonight, as they are about +125. Normally I would take Vancouver in this spot. They are a very active dog and they may very well win this one outright. However, with Colorado dropping a 4-1 lead last night, I look for them to come out ticked off and ready to play. In the words of Mike Brenner, this is a “Somebody’s gunna pay for that sh*t” game. I look for Colorado to roll. The numbers all point to that and you add in that they are off a blown game where they gave up 5 goals in the 3 period, somebody is indeed going to pay for that sh*t and it will be the Canucks tonight. Colorado ML. I also have the Over 5.5 Goals.
Carolina Hurricanes @ Arizona Coyotes
Not much of a write-up here. I am on Carolina and heavy on the Under 6 goals. Arizona has been playing better as of late after starting the season slowly. Carolina, on the other hand, started hot and then lost 5 of their last 7 games. They are looking to bounce back, after dropping their last two. Arizona has won 4 in a row and 5 of their last 6. Arizona is hot and may very well win this game. But I look for Carolina to come in and get a low scoring win, like a 2-1, or 3-2 game. Carolina is 3-1 in the last 4 trips to Arizona and the O/U is 1-3. Take Carolina and the Under.
GL2ALL.
