What is the difference between draw no bet and Regulation time only? Seems both cancel any OT or SO

Personally, after losing another tonight, I will be playing 60 minutes only. We don't win our share of OT and SO and I'm sick of it. You are too good to keep giving back those hard earned profits.

I was curious, so I did some checking. I keep a record of every play I make, so looking to see which of Sawyer's games have gone beyond regulation was pretty easy. Anyway, here are the won-lost records (monthly and overall) for overtime games and shootouts from the start of this season through Dec. 2.

OCTOBER
Overtimes: 2-3
Shootouts: 6-5
MONTH TOTAL: 8-8

NOVEMBER
Overtimes: 2-6
Shootouts: 4-6
MONTH TOTAL: 6-12

DECEMBER
Overtimes: 0-0
Shootouts: 0-2
MONTH TOTAL: 0-2

FOR THE SEASON
Overtimes: 4-9 (31%)
Shootouts: 10-13 (43%)
SEASON TOTAL: 14-22 (39%)

A few observations:

The last two shootouts (Dec. 1 and 2) have been losers, but before that shootouts were 10-11 for the season. That's about what I'd expect because that's in line with the Iron Dogs' overall winning percentage dating back to last season.

The worst stretch for shootouts was a 2-6 run from Nov. 3-16 -- and that contributed to the slow start in November. Overtime games are 4-9 overall, but I'd look for them to eventually even out.

I think what's struck many of us recently is that from Nov. 14-Dec. 2, overtime games are 0-4 and shootouts are 2-4 -- a total of 2-8. While it's frustrating, such short-term downturns tend to be pretty insignificant in the long run.

Hope this is of interest.

Here's another way to look at the overall effect of overtimes and shootouts this season. Let's assume the average price for winning plays on these games has been +132 (that's in keeping with the overall average this season). Multiplying the 14 wins by 1.32 gives us the equivalent of 18.48 wins. Then, subtract the 22 losses. That leaves a net of -3.52 units. Enough worry about? Not really. That can be made up in one night.

NYI +180 LOST (5-4, OT)
NJ +105 LOST (4-2)

NJ +105
NYR +100
NYI +145
FLA +170

All lines are available at 5Dimes. Good luck!

Great night, Sawyer! I played them 1X2 and made about 5.3 units. Gonna continue to do that for at least the rest of December and see where I'm at.

Dr. Dre,

1x2 odds are great. Florida was +260, NYR was +160 and NYI was +228.

Great value on these definetely. What about Reverse Puck line -1.5? Would hit in two plays last night, OMG!

Got 2 Iron Dog Plays for Sunday. Coming up..

Minnesota +110
Calgary +178

You may want to pick Calgary later in order to take advantage of odds since everybody will be on Vancouver today..

Great night buddy!

Calgary already +205 @ 5dimes. BOL tonight. BTW, I think the Dogs started a year ago today.

Missed the last two days of wagering and the small profit, tonight's card looking good for at least a 1-1 Sunday night, great stuff as always, Sawyer, thanks!

Amazing value on Calgary definetely. It doesn't matter if they win or lose today. These kind of bets are EV+ over the long haul.

Here's a parlay for fun, if you're looking for action..

DETROIT ML -133
MINNESOTA ML +110
CALGARY +1.5 PL -137

Odds: +524 (x6,24)

This parlay also lookin' good..

MINNESOTA +110

Sawyer, sorry for talk about NBA, but... do you think you will be have NBA totals year? i need to think some things about bank admin.

I'm thinking about sticking with NHL Overs&Underdogs.

I prefer in-play wagering for NBA, so don't want to make any predictions. Not to mention, NBA is harder to beat then NHL. Hockey is more profitable imo. 2 years ago, I hit %61.5 in totals (133-83) but last year my win rate was just %53-54 ATS. So I like stick with hockey.
