NHL

Carolina Hurricanes @ Washington Capitols

Hockey in the regular season does not get more important than this game.
This is for 1st place in the Southeast, thus 3rd in the Eastern Conference.
It seems like the team that does not win this division will be the underdog in a battle with the Flyers for that final 8th ticket to the play-offs.
I believe that Washington is in fact playing better hockey than Carolina at this time.

Bet on the Washington Capitols = 1.50

Carolina Hurricane 1 - 4 Washington Capitols ..................WIN

*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Champions League

Liverpool @ Arsenal

There is no comparing these two teams, Liverpool is by far a superior team, and they demonstrate it every year in the CL while Arsenal involves itself with meaningless challenges such as the premier league title.
I think it'll be a straight out win for the better side, but betting defencivley will have to involve the draw as well.

Bet on the Liverpool win = 3.40
Bet on the draw = 3.00


*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Uefa Cup

PSV @ Fiorentina

This is a tough match-up for PSV as they face a representative of the greatest league in the world.
PSV is the greatest team in the competition and should get a positive result in Italy.

Bet on the PSV win = 3.80
Bet on the draw = 3.00


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*

NHL

Dallas Stars @ Phoinex Coyotes

As it stands, Dallas will have to face Anaheim in the play-offs.
Dallas is in a position where they can chose their opponents.
If they lose, and fall a spot, they'll get to play Minnesota.
One can only assume that Dallas would be looking to avoid Anaheim.

Bet on the Phoinex Coyotes = 2.00

Latest Results.......

Liverpool 1 - 1 Arsenal ...........WIN = 3.00
PSV 1 - 1 Fiorentina ..............WIN = 3.00
Dallas 4 - 2 Phoinex ...............Loss

Both Liverpool and PSV now hold the advantage for their home games.
What I don't understand is the Stars!
They really made a mistake.
Dallas will now experience the difference between a regular season game and a play-off game.
Goddess forbid Dallas actually wins a game against Anaheim?
Oopsy daisy, that'll just translate to a fifth game of physical punishment.
They're gonna wish they could turn back the clock to last night and chosen Minnesota.
They probably would have lost against the Wild as well, but at least they'd stay out of the hospital.
Given the recent history between the two teams, I'm telling ya, its gonna be a clinic....... just watch the innevitable.

NCAA Final Four

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Memphis(-2.5) - UCLA

These are clearly the two worst teams in the final four.
Memphis has the tools to limit Love to longer range shots.
I have money on Memphis to win it all at 13/2, so i'm gonna take it easy here.

Bet on Memphis

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kansas - North Carolina(-3.5)

In reality, this is the final, as these are clearly the two best college basketball teams at this time.
I got some serious money ridng on Kansas to win it all at 6/1.
My only fear is Hansbrough who will easily dominate under the basket.
He will shine, no doubt.
As a team though, Kansas is better, and deserving in my eyes, of being the team to take it all.

Bet on Kansas

Once again W.HI.P you have come through with your long term bets, and individual bets...

You consistently are making people money, how can they hate that.

Yes, it is a huge pay period.
You've obviously made great profits as well.
Its kind of obvious where the NHL is going as well.
lol, my 3 Eastern conference teams are the #1,2 and 3 ranks, while Anaheim and San Jose have set it up to avoid each other.
It looks as good as last year, only the stakes are higher.

NCAA Final

Kansas - Memphis(-2.0)


Vast differences here.

Bet on Kansas

NHL

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Calgary Flames @ San Jose Sharks

This is about as lop-sided as it gets.
Calgary lacks depth in its lines and will not be able to match-up against the Sharks.

Bet on the San Jose Sharks = 1.50

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Dallas Stars @ Anaheim Ducks

Punishment, punishment, and more punishment is what we can expect from this series.
Poor Dallas.

Bet on the Anaheim Ducks = 1.50

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Predictably you will collect on the Arsenal/Liverpool game. It was just a half dozen or so injuries too far for arsenal.

I feel for you dude.
Speaking to an Arsenal fan, I cannot hold back from saying that Wenger has to go.
Arsenal will now be ranked 4th amongst English teams having Chelsea Liverpool and Man Utd progressing further in the Champions league.
Thats the kinda thing I was tryna explain earlier in this thread.
The Premiership does not hold much weight at all.
If you're are a true fan of Arsenal, you must entertain the idea of Arsenal without Wenger.

See the thing is that I don't much care about the rankings you use. They're for guys like you who make money on the games, and that is cool, but it doesn't matter at the supporter level. I would rather have Arsenal rank 4th on your list every year for the next 100 and play the entertaining style they do if the other option is to be number 1 and play boring percentage ball like Chelsea. Of course, I'd like to see them ranked #1 AND playing the entertaining style they do and I believe they will.

Before the season began everyone wrote them off as a team of too young nobody's. They surprised us all by making it to within 2 minutes and a piss poor referee decision of making the semifinals of the CL and they sat atop the Premier League for most of the season. At the end the squad was just too thin to cover for the injuries.

Van Persie has missed all but 10 games of the season with injury
Rosicky the same
Eduardo broken leg

Those three should have been the top scorers for the season.

Fabergas, Flamini,Hleb, Diaby, Sagna, Gallas, Toure have all had extended absences due to injury. That is 10 of the starting 11. Chelsea or Manchester United would also be in trouble if they dealt with that.

Wenger must stay. A few players must go and a few need to be bought. There's always next year.

Its not my rankings.
Its Europe's rankings.
The Champions league winner is the #1 ranked team in Europe. Period.
The Finalist would be #2, and so fourth.

If PSV won the CL, they would be the #1 ranked team in Europe, and respectivly in Holland.
Even if PSV were to be relegated in their local competition, they would clearly and undoubtably be ranked Holland's #1 team.
The same applies for Italy, England, Germany, Spain, etc etc.

We'll use this year as a scenario...

Say Liverpool beats Man Utd in the Champions league final.

The rankings for English teams would be:

1)Liverpool (Ranked #1 in Europe)
2)Man Utd (Ranked #2 in Europe)
3)Chelsea (Ranked in top 4 in Europe)
4)Arsenal (Ranked in top 8 in Europe)

There are no opinions in rankings.
They are what they are.

Englands teams can only match what Italian teams achieved, having both Champion league finalists, and 3 of the 4 semi-finalists.
All this of course, in a rare year where Italy's Queen Juventus is not in the competition
..... She shall return to her throne.
