    I was making money before on hockey, but I stopped once I once had a good profit. You just have to pick the right underdogs on the right night, and find the cheap favourites. A lot of times some bad teams are underdogs at home, but it's still worth it to bet on them since teams play better in their own barn.

    I have been doing hockey prolines for 2 years now. I got my gambling jar and my savings jar. If the time comes that I need to dip into my savings jar then gambling season is over for me.

    So far since the second week of the NHL season, I have accumulated $2000 winnings. Make about 2-3 tickets a week. $20 a ticket. An average ticket payout is between 200-450 dollars (depending on the upsets). So spent maybe $300 since my first one. So about $1700 total profit.

    It really is about picking the dates and the right underdogs. Take into consideration road travel, goalies, injuries, b2b nights. Lots of little things that can add-in.

    I also have the evidence as I keep all my tickets win or lose

    On a side note: STL is due for a loss just as TO is due for a win (could be as early as tonight *hint* *hint*). But you win some and you lose some.

    Yes, but if you just bet each individual game online then you would have made an even bigger profit.

    I try to avoid betting online cause I know if I do that I will do far more betting than I already do. I'm trying to be a responsible gambler

    I'd love for you to share insights on particular nights where you make an educated and researched guess with the little things mentioned above.

    If things pan it in the next couple of days, you'll get yourself a proline gig!

    Risky yes, but whatever!
    Looks like this will be a winner!

    Betting on one game is much easier...

    I don't understand, do you have Pittsburgh or Boston winning? You have V but Pittsburgh is at home.

    Now that I'm back, you bet I'll be doing my "fake" proline again!

    Congrats on your Friday win!

    I'll keep posting here anyways, it's a good way of keeping a record of how much money I would have lost had I actually bet for real using this system. I'm not sure what the real payoffs are on a win though (like 30 bucks in general?)

    So here's Sunday's ticket:

    Edmonton @ New York Rangers - H
    Atlanta @ Washington - H
    Minnesota @ Tampa Bay - H
