*Bets allowed are sides (OT included), 1.5 pucklines and totals only - no regulation time bets, alternate totals or props
*Remember to quote a current price displayed on SBR Odds - if you mess it up, I reserve the right to grade your play based on Pinnacle's price at the time of your post. I will use ShowMeTheOdds as a backup source for line history.

GL!

We now have a race! Enigma's lead is slowly melting away while FairWarning, reno cool and cobra_king are duking it out for 2nd place (which is good for no prize at all!) I'm also glad to report that Mudcat has dethroned me as King of Playoff Capping Suckage.

I triple-checked and my score is correct.

 

[RageWizard]

OK lets check it together. Basically I start off at -3.83, then on Monday I went 1-3 wiining the Flyers / Bruins at -146 netting 0.68 units.for the night my score was -2.32 units added to the -3.83 units I was at already gives me -6.15 units.

Then on Wednesday my luck started to change a bit and I went 2-0 getting 1.14 and 0.38 units for my troubles. which is 1.52 units added to -6.15 is -4.63.

Below is what I have played since the -3.83 was posted sometime before Monday. Now I can be wrong, but if you would show the math where it is wrong, I would consider myself educated in the field of sports investing. Thank You.

OK after some time off to relax and take in some of natures scenes.

Bos -146 -1
Phi / Bos Und 5.5 -146 +0.68

Pit -168 -1
Pit / Mon Und 5.5 -136 -1

Then

Geez, I don't think I could suck any worse than I have sucked in the last week or so. A $20 meth whore in a naval shipyard during a 4th of July weekend sucks less than I have been sucking lately. Looks like I should put out a fade alert until i can get something going my way.

I'm headed down to challenge Matt Rain at the bottom with my cumulative totals -6.15

Chi +114 +1.14
Chi +1.5 -262 +0.38

Pinny.

We're risking to win 1 on favorites, Rage. This Canadian likes the American way of doing things.

Not really. But we are risking x to win 1.

OK then, i thought we were risking 1 to win whatever. That is how I work it in real life, it makes it easier for me.

 

[RageWizard]

OK after prolong thought about this, I will be taking the flyers tonight. Really not a bet on the flyers to win it, but more like a bet on the bruins to blow it. After tonight, it will be known as one of the biggest choke jobs in hockey history.

Updated standings - reno cool is about to bump into longtime leader Enigma! Oh the drama!

Juror, you misgraded one of your plays, most likely BOS +1.5 on Wednesday.

betplom and MrMonkey, you guys have failed to submit the minimum number of plays through Round 2. I will let it slide if you make up for it in the next round. Speaking of which, the minimum number of plays for Round 3 has been set at 6 by the Guru Committee, which means that betplom and MrMonkey need to submit at least 8 to remain in good standing.
