Sports Action NHL Bets

Anyone play regularly?

I've been betting on a regular basis for about a month. I'm up about $1500 bucks. I got a good win on my very first ticket and have been playing on house money ever since.

I searched RS but couldn't find a Sports Action thread so I thought why not, maybe we can share some picks and get some insights. Last night on Oddset I had the two following tickets for Wins:

Montreal over Florida
San Jose over Dallas
Calgary over Minnesota
Colorado over Nashville
Odds 7.93 X $40.00 = $317.20

Calgary over Minnesota
Colorado over Nashville
Odds 3.33 x $40.00 = $133.20

Total of both tickets $450.40

My picks tonight for December 30th:
Washington over Buffalo @ 1.90
Chicago over Detroit @ 2.15
Edmonton over Ottawa @ 1.85
Philiadelphia over Vancouver @ 1.90
Odds 14.36 x $40.00 = a possible payout of $574.40

Ovechkin is on fire and the captials are on a good run, the Sabres home record isn't the greatest so I went with Washington who have won 8 of their last 9.

Chicago is on a 9 game win streak, Detroit's playing Ty Conklin over Osgood because of a groin issue, also it's not clear if Lidstrom is playing tonight. So to get Chicago at 2.15 odds is a pretty good bet giving the firepower they have.

Edmonton is going for a 4 game win streak, Ottawa's road record is horrible and is the lowest scoring team in the league. Edmonton has only played 1 road game in 12 days so they're pretty fresh, Ottawa on the other hand has played 5 road games in 12 nights, including tonight's.

Philly vs Vancouver was a bit of a tough call, Philly has a few injuries but Vancouver's goaltending isn't always so solid right now. Having a 15-4-4 record since Nov. 11 is pretty good and the fact they haven't lost in Vancouver in 20 years is a good thing too. Jeff Carter is the top goal scorer in the leauge.
