fulkgl,

Leveraging is exactly what I do throughout the year. I will wager on futures and when the playoffs start I will try to leverage for a profit on both sides. Also I will do this in other sports such as using a 2nd half wager in football or basketball to try for a middle on my whole game wager.

Home teams ruled and the Sens just don't have the scoring.

Would of been nice if the start game for the Jets was moved back 30 minutes so the Pens game would probable be over. NBCS has the Pens game at 7:00 ET and the Jets at 9:00 ET. Guessing on the west coast they cut to the Jets game at 9.

I'm going to lock in the ana series profit. Before game 1 I paid 140 to win 100. I'm now playing 26 for win to win the series at +545. If ana wins the series I'm up 74, win wins the series I'm up 1.70. I've locked a no loss situation.

St. Louis/Minnesota OVER 5 -110
Minnesota -132

playoffs: -6.6

Fulkgl,

I'm going all the way with my Ducks series play, but I don't blame you for locking it in.

As I stated in the series thread the other day, I just can't see the Jets winning 4 of the 5 games. I don't think the Ducks players want Boudreau to get fired, which is exactly what will happen within 48 hours, if they blew this 2-0 series lead. His firing would be the aggregate effect of his playoff record and inability to get the team past the 2nd round.

They get past this round though. Tough 2 games coming up, but the Jets look like a shell of the regular season team that was a lot more aggressive.

Good luck.

Playoffs: 6-3 + 3.3 Units.

I always lock in profits now. June 2011 I had Nadal to beat Stepanek in straight sets for a lot of money at -700 (I know, crazy to pay that much juice!!!) and he was up a set and 5-1 in the 2nd. Stepanek to win the set at that point was 40-1....you think I took it? No sir!! Well he came back and won the set 7-5 before Nadal blew him out 6-1 in the 3rd. Lesson learned.
