NHL Playoff Preview: Vancouver vs. St. Louis
This is quite an interesting match up because St. Louis enters the playoffs as the hottest team in the NHL right now. The Vancouver Canucks are playing well by their own right as well. If Roberto Luongo steps up his play, which is already at a high level, like he did in the 2007 playoffs [...]
NHL Playoff Preview: Pittsburgh vs. Philadelphia
This is a rematch of the 2008 Eatern Conference Finals. Pittsburgh won that series 4-1, outscoring the Flyers 20-9.
Pittsburgh is a serious cup contender. I am predicting that they will get to the Stanley Cup Finals again this year. Trade deadline pickups Chris Kunitz and Bill Guerin have bolstered an already impressive offence. Sergei [...]
NHL Playoff Preview: New Jersey vs. Carolina
Martin Brodeur is a big question mark here. He has won just five games since breaking the record. The Devils have shown more offence this year than in the past. Zach Parise had a great season netting 45 goals and 94 points. I think they have enough to get by the Hurricans but not much [...]
NHL Playoff Preview: Washington vs. New York
This may be one of the more interesting and best match ups of the first round. Washington definitely has an explosive offence. However, if you can look past their offence you see Jose Theodore. I think that he will determine who wins this series. When a game comes down to goaltending Theodore usually comes up [...]
NHL Playoff Preview: Boston vs. Montreal
This has just been a crazy season for the Montreal Canadiens. I don’t care how good your magic eight ball is it couldn’t have predicted how this season has gone. So the same is holding true for the playoffs. Many think this is the most lopsided series and I too think Boston will win, but I [...]
Believe in Angel
This year’s Masters had the drama everyone wanted, but it wasn’t from the players you would have expected it from. Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson were paired on Sunday and did have a great duel. Mickelson had a great front nine, going six under and was the favorite at one point. This was making me [...]
Bad Day
Some days everything works against you. You just have to right it off and move on. Yesterday was one of those days.
First I traded for a small loss in the Miami Heat, Boston Celtics game:
Then I tried to take a shot with the Orlando Magic. Thought since the Knicks had very little to play for [...]
So Close
I was trading the New Jersey Nets, Boston Celtics game last night on Betfair. With the Celtics missing Kevin Garnett it seemed to me that there was great value to be had on the Nets coming on the end of the game. The Nets had the ball with over a minute left down by seven [...]
Masters Preview - Let’s Get Some Value
Just like everyone else I’m going to start off by talking about Tiger Woods. You can back him on Betfair for 3.7. I’ve seen many sportsbooks have him below +200. You would expect Tiger to win the Masters at least once over the next three years. Anyways, we will try to find some value elsewhere:
I really [...]
Not Trading Well
The Boston Red Sox are presently up 4-1 on the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the 5th inning. Things aren’t looking good trading on Betfair.
