Day 1: 5-2-0

Finland -4.5 over Italy & o6.5

Enough said how even w/o a majority of their stars starting, the Finns dominated the Chocolate Men and i see no such problem coming again tomorrow from Italy. Italy did prove they could get a couple of cheap goals in, played well in the first period, but much like any unexperienced team will do, the Italians slowly were wore down and taken advantage of late against Canada. Expect around 6 or 7 from the Finns, though an Italian goal might be needed to push this over.

Switzerland +3.5 versus Czech Republic

Martin Gerber really didnt get the start the Swiss had wanted out of him, but it was David Aebischer who came into the 3rd period and stopped all 13 shots he faced. The Finns really were too much for the slow footed dmen from the land of Chocolate, but i truly feel that with Aebischer most likely getting the start, we see this game being very close. The Republic most likely will start Vokoun, whom didnt do that bad of a job in relief of Hasek, allowing one goal on 21 shots. The former Czechoslovakians will get the win here, but i see a nice game played from the Swiss, losing by a goal or two at the most.

Sweden -.5 over Russia & o5.5

How in hell are the Swedes only a goal faves over this Russian team that, guys, trust me when i say this, look for losses. The Russians today basically sat back on leads of 2-1 and 3-2 instead of trying to advance on the lead, and let the Slovaks trap them all over the ice until Gaborik took advantage of two easy goals. Now dont get me wrong, Kazakhastan is not Russia, and the Swedes took care of this former Russian companian really easily, which was no surpise to anyone, but the way Sweden and Russia played today, Sweden should win this by 2 goals. Thanks in part though to the still high flying team from Russia, this over should hit somewhere inside the middle of the third, if not sooner.

United States -3.5 over Kazakhstan & o6.5

All I am saying is that the United States is awake now and had this tournament started tomorrow, we would have seen a blowout. We all figured the jetlag that brought most these players here yesterday would be a factor, but some, such as myself, didnt see it being a problem. The Americans should be well rested now, as tomorrow they really need to pour it on for the Medal Rounds.

naught33 · 02-17-06, 01:52 AM

damn TEAM USA! sure solid fades on the goals line the rest of the tourney! lol...

hope your daughter is getting better happy!

bevoaustintx · 02-18-06, 08:17 AM

Day 2: 2-5-0

one day you do well, the next not so much. i highly consider the first 2

Russia (1-0-1) -4.5, -4 over Kazakhastan (0-0-2) & o7 goals & o5.5 team goals

It is a lot i know but, Russia really honestly is still steaming mad after their loss to Slovakia, blowing two one goal leads, until collapsing thanks to Marion Gaborik late in the game. Kazakhastan really does a great job of playing well against teams early, such as the first 10 minutes, but this game is 60 minutes long and after loss of 7-2 to Sweden and 4-1 to America, Russia will pour it on early and often. Don't be surprised to see this be the largest margin of victory for any team in this entire tournament.

Germany (0-0-2) -1.5, -1 over Italy (0-0-2) & u5.5 goals

Italy and Germany both have scored only 2 goals, yet Italy has allowed 13 compared to Germany's 9. Well with Olie the goalie "supposedly" in net today for the Germans, Italy really will have a tough time on their hands. Having faced the third of three tough goalies in Kolzig, though Luongo handed the Italians two goals, Italy's team really will be lucky to score a goal here. Kolzig and company got a break when the Swiss handed the Republic the upset loss, for a win helps them probably tie both the Swiss and Republic with 1-0-2 records, as Canada and Finland should be able to get by their opponents. With this motivational factor there, Germany should come out on top in a low scoring affair.

Sweden (1-0-1) -2.5, -2 over Latvia (0-1-1)

I got 2 words for you Latvians, PETER FORSBERG. Irbe did an ok job obviously against the Americans, yet fell under heavy pressure against the Slovakians offensive minded attack. Anyone that thinks Sweden wont be awake now after getting shutout 5-0 to Russia last time out, is dead wrong. Hell, it wouldnt even surprise me to see Lundqvist start again because he feels he needs to right the ship. Its a perfect situation for Latvia, they know they are hosting the Worlds this next year, and the Swedes know they could go ahead of the Americans into third place, if they stumble against Slovakia. Enough said.

Slovakia (2-0-0)/USA (1-1-0) u6 goals

Everyone and their dog are thinking that this will either be a close game of the 4-3 type, or a Slovakian blowout. I got news for you, USA has better defenceman than Russia and Latvia. There will be goals, but not nearly enough to push this over, unless by some miracle the Americans surprise Slovakia and step it up a notch. If anything, I would predict a draw at the 2-2 or 3-3 range, but not betting that.

$@M · 02-18-06, 01:34 PM

FT : Russia 1-0 Kazakstan ...

Am I seeing correctly or is this the score from another day... If it the one, then it has just blown apart my pretty nice parlay...

$@M · 02-18-06, 02:18 PM

What is this, Bev ???

Russia 1-0 ... Handicap lost... OVER lost...
Germany will only a few minutes left... 3-3 ... UNDER lost... and the Handicap is looking very likely to be another loser...

bevoaustintx · 02-19-06, 01:08 AM

yeah very ridiculous and unusual day...at least i hit the last few bets...

sorry sam, really felt today was going to be strong...

bevoaustintx · 02-19-06, 04:36 AM

Roddick/Murray o21.5 is a winner

Happy928 · 02-19-06, 06:02 AM

Hey fellas,

hope you guys have been cashin in........Things are pretty much back to norm and I ended up taking Murray +4 today, but fonbet has to be one of the worst sporting books out there.....still hasn't graded my prop yet.....

Anywayz:

Tomorrow will be MOMO, KOSTANIC, and Murray HC line......plays for moi....

Enjoy your weekend.

naught33 · 02-19-06, 09:34 PM

thanks brah!

Bevo and I cashed in on Volandri-Moya games over 22.5 earlier so, let's try few more bets for the day.

N	Date	Event	Selection	Odds	Stake
3440861	19/02	by games Hewitt L - Murray A (+3)	2	-125	xxxx
3440862	19/02	1st set Hewitt L - Murray A	>9.5	-133	xxxx

Good luck fellas.

naught33 · 02-20-06, 12:44 AM

GL bro, hope it cashes, that 2nd set helps!

i got little greedy and put in that 1st set betting at the last minute....UGH!

it's ok....just evened out with murray +3 prop bet......

naught33 · 02-20-06, 04:13 AM

nice hit on murray bro!

Happy928 · 02-20-06, 06:42 AM

Adding:

Tojo over Henman for 3 units.

Tojo is ranked #6 in the world on indoor surface....Last yr, he beat some quality players here and then eventually lost to LJ in the semi's 7-6 7-5.....Tojo can serve well and definitely more stable then mental Henman now days.

Happy928 · 02-20-06, 06:53 AM

Adding:

Minar over Ferrer for 1 unit.

Minar is a huge underdawg here, why? It's prob cuz of ferrer's 43-29 record from 2005. Minar has gotten to a final on indoor before and definitely has lot more experien on this surface. Ferrer played total of 15 matches on indoor thruout his entire career. Minar has a huge 1st serves.....And that should help him salvage if any break points are being faced.

Happy928 · 02-20-06, 07:36 PM

i have 3 small plays today as well:

Na Li hantu over 20 games.....

Dent vs Berd over 22.5 games.....

Karlsen vs Luczak over 23.5 games......

naught33 · 02-20-06, 08:28 PM

GL w the last few plays man, i dont have the total games lines so cant get on em, oh well, hope they cash
