Betting

[Dean Ambrose]

Gotta have this thread again.

Who else bets on games? My cousin and I are pretty much doing it every second weekend, spending $6 each on three cards, a risky card, a safe card and a safe 2-way card all on Mise-O-Jeu. Each ticket has $4 on them, $2 each from us. We just got off facetime making this weekends bets and our risky card, while not so risky because of the way the odds are, can turn $2 in $1255 each for us.

We bet on:
Edmonton > Philadelphia in regulation/OT (no SO)
Florida/Ottawa going to a shootout
Toronto > Boston
Tampa Bay > Detroit
Pittsburgh/St. Louis going to a shootout

and I forgot what we bet on our safe cards

Yep, good call, still sometimes do the Proline thing. Haven't won much lately though.

I would have won $100 if we got to the store two minutes earlier last weekend.

I've got a wild one on tonight's only game. $3 on:

Anaheim over Arizona
Geltzlaf more points than Hanzal
Kesler more points than Boedker
OEL same points as Lindholm
Perry more shots than Domi
Arizona less than 29.5 shots
Anaheim more PIM

If all those happen, the payout is $239.05

[Josh]

Anaheim over Arizona - FAILED
Geltzlaf more points than Hanzal - FAILED
Kesler more points than Boedker - PASSED
OEL same points as Lindholm - PASSED
Perry more shots than Domi - FAILED
Arizona less than 29.5 shots - PASSED
Anaheim more PIM - PASSED

So I finally signed up for DraftKings. I made a $6 bet last night on a few games and won $18. Got another $6 in tonight. It's a much better system than the provincially run sports gambling. You can win big and keep a pretty good chance of at least winning your original investment back. Definitely would recommend.

I signed up for this. Is it all about drafting teams, or can you bet like you were doing earlier?

It's not at all like proline or mise-O-jeu. It's all one-day drafts and the point system heavily favours goals and assists. It's all offense. I was a bit confused at first, but the scoring system is always the same:

Hockey Scoring

Players will accumulate points as follows:
Goal = +3 PTS
Assist = +2 PTS
Shot on Goal = +0.5 PTS
Blocked Shot = +0.5 PTS
Short Handed Point Bonus (Goal/Assist) = +1 PTS
Shootout Goal = +0.2 PTS
Hat Trick Bonus = +1.5 PTS

Goalies only will accumulate points as follows:
Win = +3 PTS
Save = +0.2 PTS
Goal Against = -1 PTS
Shutout Bonus = +2 PTS

Goalie Scoring Notes:
Goalies WILL receive points for all stats they accrue, including goals and assists.
The Goalie Shutout Bonus is credited to goalies if they complete the entire game with 0 goals allowed in regulation + overtime. Shootout goals will not prevent a shutout. Goalie must complete the entire game to get credit for a shutout.

was confused af when I went on draftkings... I might try it out sometime this week tho...

what do you do after you set your lineups tho? just leave it or do you have to do something else?

[Josh]

You just leave it. To be honest I was also super confused but it really explains itself once you understand that the scoring is always the same. You're drafting with a salary cap and it's super easy to see your numbers.

but it says there's leagues to join and whatnot and it doesn't give you a price to see how much you can win after you have your lineup

Yes it does. On a PC, just click the number in the total prizes column and you can see the payouts. On the app, press and hold on the league and then select details.

The leagues all just refer to different structures. They are based on entry fee and total number of participants.
