Chado's 2008 NHL Playoffs Picks - Conference Semi Finals (Round 2)!!!

[Chado1]

WHAT ! you are done ! are you serious ? so your not going to continue to chase pitt or dall ? I thought they were system plays........... chado I thought you had a good idea when you posted, I am way down just like you so your just going to stop ? just want to know what you are doing because the Pitt play is already in for me and I was just about to put dall in.

If you are done that is fine, to each his own, but I would really like some of your insight on the future games throughout the playoffs. Maybe we can trade e-mail's and talk or something. (you have no idea how hard it is to try and talk hockey in south florida, and when you can they are an atlantic division nut because that's the only people that live here n.y, n.j, philly, mass. It's almost like they think there is only an eastern conference.)

you know I know how it feels, montreal may have come in with a little better chances than colorado, but I thought we were really coming together at the right time and blah blah blah. Only for me to open my big mouth and even start threads on how the wings will only win if they change the goaltender. Yea they changed him alright, and he hasn't lost a game yet while sweeping my av's, and finishing off Nash. if it makes you feel better you didn't get swept and you were not embarrassed on home ice 8-2. Think of it that way.

The chase system is still a go brother with the Pens tomorrow afternoon and the Stars tomorrow night. However with my Habs who I had so much faith in to fucking embarass me like this and lose 4 straight and end their season AT HOME and ALSO COST ME $600 is like two punches to the face. Hard to get over that man. Such a goddam fucking joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I can continue to post picks but its just not the same when I am not putting my personal money on them which I will not be after my Habs lost me too much money my head is not clear where it needs to be to cap non-stressfully. Need to cool off and wait for CFL in June brother but feel free to ask me anything you wish or whatever....GL!!!

Hey Kapt thanks for stopping by, as always much appreciated...

$50 @ +175 is to win $87.50 so total of $137.50...just wrote it wrong...

That's no shit brother. Pathetic...imo

Strange things happen when the playoffs start and you know cause you've seen it as well. Sucks when your team goes down. Been there a few times lately with OU in big bowl games. Unexplainable...

Good luck!

you are just as hard on yourself as I am. let me guess you feel like it was you who gave up all those goals, I know, it's different from any sport I really don't care what anyone says. It sounds like you put yourself in the game like your on the team which is what I do too.

I fully agree with realizing that you don't have a clear head to cap, that is very smart of you. I would like to know what you think about the next round. it's Just not about picks either, just to talk hockey, it would be great to know what goes on in the off season, and who we think is gonna do what in the future...... ya know. I have never traded e-mail's with anyone here so i'm not sure of the right way to do it, but get my e-mail from wayne or spark or whoever. If it is cool with you I'll get yours. P.s we have much more than hockey in common, it's been 19 months for me !

Right now I have 2 outstanding series wagers on the Habs. One was before its started @ -200 ($200 to win $100) and the other one was before game 4 (+175) ($50 to win $137.50). I just cannot see my Habs losing 4 straight and ending their great season at home tonight as even if they do end up losing the series it will not be tonight. If they are gonna win one game at all it will be this one so I am gonna get all the series wager money back on this game alone tonight as I cannot see it ending this way in this spot. This is pretty much GOY material right here but I wouldnt make a GOY on one of my teams but I like it just as much as if it were:

10 Montreal Canadiens (-170) OT included ML
$425 TO WIN $250

AS ALWAYS, GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!

that has to hurt

I knew the flyers had won when you said "im not concerned about game 5"....in fact....I think we all knew then.

This thread is the epitome of amateur sports betting at its best. This thread contains betting practices and systems all bettors should avoid.

Chase systems seem like easy money. It's possible that long term they might be profitable. However, if sports bettor used the chase system that Chado suggested during the Yanks/Sox series in 2004 they would have lost approximately $2200.

An almost GOY on a -170 favorite. Bettting -170 on a team that lost 5 of its last 7 games. It's obvious the Chado allowed his loyalty and emotions interfere with his rational judgment. His reasoning?

I just cannot see my Habs losing 4 straight and ending their great season at home

He took Montreal in his series bet. He should have considered betting on Philly in the individual games especially a hot team at +160 in game 5. Instead he chose to chase his series wager because he's a fan. Sports bettors need to separate their loyalty to their team with their loyalty with their wallet. Otherwise, avoid games that your team is playing.

Chase system I've played in hockey many times. I would say at least a twenty times over the past 10 years. AND I have NEVER lost. This season we've been lucky to have 3 so far.

ALL 3 WINNERS!! 3-0 +$450

I for one like to gamble and make money.

I am so glad someone else got to this before me, yes frank I know that you are a well respected capper on this site, why don't you just stay well respected. Your comment obviously implies that you know so much more, so why even bother with such a amatuer thread. Oh i know your going to say you were trying to help. That's funny how you only wanted to help once it looked like one of the teams might have been in trouble, not when all 3 series were up 3-0.

I did not want to mention it but I'm so glad you did gr8. I would say I have done this with hockey about 10 times total over the last 3 or 4 years and I have not lost 1 either. I like to gamble and make money too.

how much would you say you've made over all these series? now take that againt how much you would lose in one series if the team rolled off 4 straight. I bet it's either not a win, or not much of a win. That's the point of the post....the one time it does happen and a team comes back, it could cost you all your winnings from before.

First, I mentioned earlier in the thread that I don't think chase systems are worth the investment. See post #121.

A few years ago a BC member had a another chase system on the Yanks. The previous season the Yanks never lost more than 2 games. They were supposed to be a better team with additional acquisitions. A month into the season the BC member took a bath.

Second, I also said in my post that it's very possible long-term these 3-0 chase systems might be profitable.

Finally, we are three years removed from a losing chase. That chase would have cost the bettor approx $2200. It'll take 22 series to recover those losses and probably about 2 to 3 years. Also, how many sport bettors here at BC have the bankroll to chase $100 with $2200? Some locals won't allow bettors to play chase systems. At some point they cut them off.

I did not want to mention it but I'm so glad you did gr8. I would say I have done this with hockey about 10 times total over the last 3 or 4 years and I have not lost 1 either. I like to gamble and make money too.

As I mentioned above it'll take years to recover one loss.

That's funny how you only wanted to help once it looked like one of the teams might have been in trouble, not when all 3 series were up 3-0.

To be honest except for the Rangers I have no idea what other series was 3-0. I created the amateur post after I read yesterday Chado had an almost GOY at -170. It had nothing to do with 'helping' but more to do with informing. Informing other members that chasing the Yanks would have cost $2200.

An experienced bettor that bet Montreal for the series would have been betting Flyers in the individual games.

how much would you say you've made over all these series? now take that againt how much you would lose in one series if the team rolled off 4 straight. I bet it's either not a win, or not much of a win. That's the point of the post....the one time it does happen and a team comes back, it could cost you all your winnings from before.

Terps suck































Good to see you Vondie, havent fucked with you in a while.

Hope things are good on your end

wow really thanks for letting me know, you must be so much smarter than me. Do you think that never crossed my mind what is wrong with you ? nevermind it says it right under vondie.
