VITOPUCK - Thank you for the reply. If I could share with you, over the years, how many winners I had, but tied or lost by conservatively using "your suggestion" of wagering -1 (tie} and worse -1.5 (loss); but that is impossible for obvious reasons. I consider (-1) a tie, costing me money. When I select a win, I get paid. As you know,TIES do not pay a profit. However, your records I'm sure are the basis for your remarks, as does mine speak for my NHL profits over the years. I finally refined this disaster of getting a tie (-!) which is not a loss but still pays no profit, and worse the -1.5 (loss). My method , less risks, with more profits won, using my refined "model selections" are a proven profit maker. Just keep "clocking my NHL suggestions and you perhaps may see for yourself. I certainly understand only 3 wins and no losses since posting here (NHL), mean nothing, but maybe when we get to 10-0 on just the high money line selections, you may consider my model. Hopefully I won't have to use the high money line selections, but if my model calls for it, I play. Last season, I only used 13 money line selections of over -175. Please know I do not make a habit of laying those NHL Money line Monster prices. But when I do, the results speak for themselves. I only play money lines; last season I played a total of 71 games total, for the entire season. This year I think will be less plays, particularly with VEGAS entering the NHL. I have yet to select Vegas , on or against them and probably won't , at least not until next season. Last season, the majority of my 71 selections were between (-105) and (-130). BOL!
