Re: All Things Denver XXXVIII: On To Better Days!

Money line?

money line DU -180 UNC +140

DU is the favorite. To win $100 on DU a bettor would have to wager $180. To win $140 on UNC a bettor would have to wager $100.

So why would any sane person put up $180 to get $100 back :confused: or do you get $100 plus original bet? And if the former is the case, seems like favoring DU by 1.5 goals is not nearly enough.

Obviously, I'm not a big bettor at the sports book.:p

You analysis is correct. If one picks DU -1.5 goals, I think you must bet $120 to win $100. That means you collect $220 for a net $100 win.

Correct, you collect $280 if DU WINS.
 
Good info! I will place a bet this weekend in Vegas. I thought I read somewhere that the Wynn handles bets on college lacrosse.

Bet $50 on UNC +1.5 goals. If DU wins by 2 or more goals, you have a great Pio win, but lose $50. If UNC wins you win $50 to drown your sorrow. Now the kicker, if DU wins by 1 goal, you have a great Pio win and you win your bet. I'm sure casinos will have game on TV.

People who work at Vegas books are all sports fans and know our JZ.

Have fun in Vegas

Thanks, Dunker. Some good betting strategy! I will have to revisit your post at the sports book!
 
Re: All Things Denver XXXVIII: On To Better Days!

I am happy to hear about Joe Clark - an old WPHL guy from Texas, which is where I came from. I can't say I remember him coaching, because I was all about Fort Worth. That was the pre-CHL days; Not too far fetched from Slapshot the movie. Guys from up north, getting paychecks to play old time hockey in 1/2 empty rodeo arenas, when it's 90 degrees or higher outside... to fans who were honestly Dallas Cowboys diehards and many of whom didn't know squat about ice hockey. This was before the North Stars moved. Fighting, Mascots, group sales and corporate sponsorships were their lifeblood.

Denis Lemieux: High-sticking happen when the guy take the stick, you know, and he go like that

[high-sticks Jim Carr]

Denis Lemieux: you know. You don't do that.

Jim Carr: You don't do that?

Denis Lemieux: Oh no, never, never.

Jim Carr: Why not?

Denis Lemieux: Against the rules. You know, you're stupid when you do that. Just some English pig with no brains, you know.
