I'm not a frequent poster on here but a serious "lurker" and stats/trend tracker. I thought I'd share this one for all of you who like $$.
Since Jan 12th the #1 favourite of the night has gone 13-2 (losses are underlined):
PHI -173
WAS -152*
CHI -289
WAS -242
SJ -275
WAS -175
SJ -190
PHI -205
VAN -195*
SJ -210
NJ -177PHI -228
COL -138
CAL -160CHI -232
Betting these fave's blindly would have you up 9.63 units over the past 15 days. Only 2 of the 13 wins were in OT/SO (marked with *) so you wouldn't have had to sweat out many extra frames. Even losing both of those games would have got you +4.16 units.
Similarly, the #2 fave has been hitting quite frequently and has gone 11-5 over the same period (+5.01 units), despite losing 2 of the last 3:
WAS -164ANA -137
DET -225
CAL -145
CHI -168
NYR -146
COL -167
PIT -193
NJ -168
VAN -174
COL -125
WAS -187
BOS -115VAN -130
DET -175So who says you can't win $$ laying the big(gest) numbers?
