January 10
Several losers yesterday, 0-1 NHL with New Jersey losing in OT and 1-2 in NBA which should really not be seriously followed, though I have three more plays tonight posted below. One new year’s resolution for me is to become more comfortable going with large amounts of public money in hockey. Boston and Minnesota both won this afternoon and were both at pretty good prices but also with 70% of the money on them. The public plays are generally losers, but it doesn’t mean they always are (or else gambling would be very, very different). Onto the plays:
NBA first:
Celtics +11.5 @ Toronto
Utah +11.5 @ Houston
Magic +14 @ Portland
And some NHL:
Islanders @ Columbus UNDER 5.5 1/2u
The other interesting game tonight is Calgary getting +165 @ Vancouver. Calgary is on a back-to-back and missing their normal backup Ramo who is out injured. Jonas Hiller the starter had a very busy night yesterday, so the question is whether to start him or a random AHL guy called up today. I’d love to jump in here but it may be a pass or half unit only.
UPDATE: The unproven Finn Joni Ortio gets the nod for Calgary +177 (1/2) @ Vancouver
