Boy, nothing like people who you consider good friends taking little jabs at you, LOL. You better watch out, cause I might get fed up of your jabs and go Mike Tyson on your asses:thefinger :bigear: , LOL.
First of all, welcome to the forum, smiley. You'll find that we have the best bunch of cappers and people in general in here than any other forum......at least of the other websites I've been to
Man! Where do I start. IMHO, I agree with cooz that, just by being a fan of the game of hockey, you're already ahead of the game. And I guess the best way to answer your question about capping NHL is to just look at the replies you got in this thread......which is there's really not a set way to cap this sport, much like all the other major sports. You'll find that over the season, the majority of the cappers here will end up with winning units when it's all said and done, whether it's +10Units or Over 300Units like the infamous Chenker. Everyone has his own system/technique of capping games and for the most part are successful. Cooz has the best advice of all......
"my advice to you is to watch some of the cappers in here and simply learn ...you will find some angles that work for you as well as some capping strategies .....everyone in here knows there stuff so i dont think you can go wrong reading the cappers that frequent the penalty box"
Check out Toronto-Vig's thread on his M.O., he's got some good pointers. If you decide to follow the cappers in here to start the season, pick 1 or 2 and stick with them, since most are winner in here over the long haul, you pretty much can't lose. Don't pick a dozen and try to follow them all, because you will find conflicting picks on almost all the games. Instead, when you have a question, simply ask any of us for our opinions. Kickserv thinks a "hot" goalie is someone on a win streak of 3 or more, I happen to think it's Anna Kournikova in goalie gear
. But seriously, everyone in here will be more than happy to answer you.
I tried to put up some relevent trends and angles for the guys in here to chew on last yr, and I guess I've been "dubbed" the "Trend Guy"
. But it really isn't a big part of my capping, since in reality I can give you 10 trends/angles on why Det will beat Ottawa, but I can probably find another 10 trends/angles on how Ottawa will beat Det. So I wouldn't put too much weight on most of them. I do have some "gems" that I will put up as the situation arrises, and I try to alert the guys in here to be careful going the other way.
As far as taking doggy ML vs doggy PL, I think most of us already had enough debates over it that we all agree to disagree. Again, there's no set rules on how you should make your wagers, as long as you make $$$$, right??
So again, welcome, and let's make some $$$$ this season.:toast:
Oh yeah, btw, Kyle, didn't you know hockey was invented in the 1200's. Get a clue, man. You're embarrassing yourself :thefinger
