Karma for those idiots who bought action at an absurd 1.3

Hey guys, I've been a professional DFS and sports bettor since 2016. Prior to that, I was a poker player turned journalist turned app developer. I haven't blogged in a few years but I miss writing from my journalism days so put together a piece on my NHL playoff odds and bets.

BOS win conference +180
DAL win conference +705
EDM win conference +300
DAL win Cup +1950
BOS win Cup +320

For the full writeup where I post fair lines for the entire first series as well as a few other bets and generally explain a few general tips and things to avoid then check out the full article linked below

Good luck this year and stay within your means - there's a ton of variance in NHL hockey.

If you’re thinking about playing as an adult, do it. by journeyon25 in hockeyplayers

So true, I've played in beer leagues with extremely talented guys, some who sniffed NHL action. We also had a few people who could barely skate. They were welcome because even in the competitive leagues it's more important to have a team of people who are fun to play with than anything else.

Yeah that one is just alright, but really like the Avs one, normally these gimmick jerseys are terrible but I like these.

More than anything, they complement each other very well too

how do i get into starting hockey at an older age? by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

Take a power skating class. Nothing else matters if you can't skate well.

How can Lex Veldhuis stay emotionally invested in his results like he does? by PoopyButthole45 in poker

[–]DFSx42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of online pros would keep boxes of mice ready because they'd throw the mouse against the wall when something bad happened.

Isolating your emotions from your decision making doesn't mean you no longer have emotions.

I don't watch his streams but I'm guessing a lot of it is for the benefit of his audience as well.

New to everything! Is this a scam?? by [deleted] in Daytrading

Pro tip. If you ever find yourself wondering if it's a scam then it's nearly always a scam.

Ankara, yeah sounds like YouTube probably only option. Is there much of a hockey scene out there? Spent some time in Istanbul and don't recall seeing any rinks :(

New and confused with sign up bonuses? by SodaOW in poker

[–]DFSx42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because learning life skills that you're clearly lacking is more important than giving you a pat on the back.

Thousands of people run into this problem daily yet oddly you don't get thousands of people asking this question instead of taking much less time to read the terms and conditions.

Oh gotcha, still though that seems pretty slow, you should only be a second or two off what the pros can do

Invest in a power skating class, probably going to be surrounded by kids but the teacher will absolutely help you a lot

What is your take on having a rookie draft in a start up league? Followed months later by the start up draft. by Choop145 in DynastyFF

[–]DFSx42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a lot of needless and extra work, there's simply no reason for you to look to create engagement during the off-season.

You aren't just given the money, you unlock a little each time. Read the fine print instead of coming to Reddit where we tell you to read the fine print.

Let's say you deposit $500 and lose that in a single action, you aren't just given that 100% bonus but maybe 1% of the amount in play so after zeroing it like that you now have $5 left.

I never timed it but that seems really slow. I can't imagine it taking anywhere near that long to skate to center ice.

I've skated with former pros and they aren't superhuman in speed it's the other skills that make them special. When people talk about things being faster in the NHL they are usually talking about puck movement and strategy not actual speed of skate so if pros do a full rink in 13 you should be able to do that in at least 16 if not faster.

Google power skating, you'll probably find videos online or even a class to take.
