Ron’s NHL PICKS (FEB 3RD)

Ottawa PK +120: The bookmakers still don’t believe in the Senators 9 game winning streak, because why would they label them a +120 road underdog vs. their division leaders? The Sabres know this an important game, because an Ottawa win would bring Ottawa 3 points closer to first place in the Northeast division. Brian Elliot is scheduled to get the nod and he’s 6-0 SU vs. the Sabres in his young net minding career.

Here’s an O/U Fact: When OTTAWA played as any home/road team - During Last 2 Years - With 6 Under or Less - Won Last Game by 1 Goals or More - With SU Record of 3 Win 0 Lost in L3G; the UNDER is 9-1-0 for the Sens in this spot.

Chicago PK -270: Tough spot for the Hawks, that first game after a long extended road trip is a hard one to win and Chicago is playing their first home game since January 14th. The Hawks are tough at home; they are 21-6 SU as a home favorite and are 7-3 SU in their last 10 head to head meetings with the Blues in Chicago. I would not bet on Chicago alone, parlay them with another team. When CHICAGO Played as home team as a Favorite - During Current Season - With SU Record of 2 Win 1 Lost in L3G; the Hawks are 10-2 SU in this cycle.

Calgary PK -170: I’m starting to think the bad environment of the Calgary Flames is not being generated by the players, but more by the coaching staff and management. In my view, I believe the players don’t want to play hard anymore for the Sutter’s and management is placing way too much pressure on this average team for unreachable results. Why else would Phaneuf play hard last night, fight and looked like he gave a damn? Plus, with Rumors of coaches and players shouting at each other are never a good thing and how else can you explain their 1-9 SU record last 10 games? Nevertheless, the Canes are not a team that can be trusted, especially when Edmonton beat them in their last game. Great NHL system on this game; When ANY NHL Team played as a home team - Before a non conference game - After a non division game - During the month of February - Coming off a 2 game Home stand - Coming off a 1 game loss - Coming off a Home loss as a Favorite; the home team (CGY) is 24-3-3 SU in this spot since 1996.

Philadelphia PK -200: Flyers just have too much talent up front for this Oilers team to stay in this game. When PHILADELPHIA Played as road team as a Favorite - During Last 5 Years - With 2 Under or Less; the Flyers are 14-4 SU in this spot the last 5 years.

Detroit PK +110: When their backs are up against the wall, the Red Wings will find a way to win. Great effort last night, they were down 2-0 to the Sharks and gutted out a 4-2 win. Plus, in Howard they trust and look for him to hold the fort down the stretch. When DETROIT team played as a Road team - Vs Pacific opponent - After a conference game - Coming off a 2 game Road stand; the Red Wings are 13-5 SU in this spot.

Twitter is a good way to let people know what they are doing “now” or from a business perspective, collect an email list to let potential clients know when they are releasing a new product or want to give out details on a new sale. In fact, it’s quicker and cheaper to market something via Twitter, then standard print or radio advertising. Facebook is a social networking site about connecting with family and friends and sharing pictures and life adventures. To quote what the guys on my hockey team says, “Facebook is a chick thing!” This explains why 80% of my friends on Facebook are females.

But, what if I told you, there’s a new hockey social networking site for people who are looking for winning hockey picks for their proline tickets or provincial sports lotteries? In Canada, people like to bet on hockey games and they do so with their provincial lottery systems. Here are the current Provincial Lotteries sports bettors are using in Canada.

• Atlantic Canadians = Atlantic Lottery/Prolinestadium.com
• Ontario Residents = OLG/Proline
• Québec Residents = Loto Québec/Mise Au Jeux
• Western Canada = Western Canada Lottery Corporation/Sport Select
• British Columbia Residents = BCLC/Sports Action

*Note: Western Canada Lottery Corporation includes Manitoba, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Lotteries Yukon and Sport North.

The only thing about betting with your Provincial Sports Lotteries, you must wager at minimum 3 games on your ticket and a maximum of 6 games. You cannot wager on 1 game like you can with an online Sportsbook like Bookmaker.com. However, most people who play Proline don’t really care about the 3 to 6 games they have to wager on, because they find the convenience of betting at their corner store less troublesome then shipping money or credit card information over the internet.

But, getting 3 to 6 winning hockey picks and you must win all 3 to 6 games on your ticket is much harder to accomplish then some would imagine. Parity in the NHL is stronger then ever and I’ve never seen so many 1 goal games in my life, which is great if you like betting on NHL underdogs. But where do you get winning hockey picks?

The new and improved Hockeypicks.com format is now laid out where people can follow other peoples Hockey Picks and you can get Canadian Professional Sports Handicapper Ron Raymond hockey predictions for free each and every day. Ron Raymond is a 4-Time Sports Handicapping Champion, the author of Ron Raymond’s 50 Greatest Sports Betting Secrets and the inventor of the ATS Calculator. Ron Raymond has developed a new Hockey Social Networking site where you can track and monitor your friends hockey picks on a daily basis.

Furthermore, at the new Hockeypicks.com, Ron has created a new tool called the “Confidence Meter” where user must tell us who they like to win each game, but must tell us how confident they are with their selection on that game. Anybody can say this team will win or that team will lose, but how confident are they on that team winning or losing? For example, if you’re from Montreal and you know Andrei Markov, Scott Gomez and Mike Cammalleri are out of the line up and they are up against Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin of the Penguins, then you’re confidence level will be pretty low for Montreal or very high for Pittsburgh.

Once users are done voting on who they like to win the games, the “confidence meter” turns into a “Debate it” forum, and this is where the Hockey Community of Hockeypicks.com are giving their thoughts and picks on each game. Plus, at 6; 30pm EST each night, the Hockeypicks.com system will give out the top 3 picks of the day and rating them the Gold, Silver and Bronze selections.

Plus, there’s a feature call the “honor roll” and this is where the system monitors everybody’s NHL picks and if they run the board and go perfect, they will make the honor roll and the entire hockeypicks.com community will be invited to follow their hockey picks down the road. In fact, on Saturday, January 23rd 2010, a user name Artiste went a perfect 12-0 with her hockey picks.

Here are Ron Raymond's Hockey Picks for Tuesday, December 1, 2009 games. Hockey bettors, get down on today’s hockey games and bet with Bodog.com or Bookmaker.com, both books come with the Ron Raymond Triple AAA recommendation.

Toronto (6.0) vs. Montreal (-135)

vs.

Keys to selection: The Montreal Canadiens have lost their last two games, but when you take into consideration it was against Washington and Pittsburgh, it puts it in perspective. Carey Price has been outstanding the last month and he’s getting noticed in many eyes for the Canadian Olympic team. The Leafs are coming off a 3-0 lost to the Sabres last night but they ran into a hot Ryan Miller. Two factors to take Montreal tonight, line value because of the Habs 2-game losing streak which puts the percentages in our favor and Carey Price!



ATSDatabase.com Tip: When MONTREAL Played as home team as a Favorite - During Last 3 Years - Lost Last Game by 1 Goals or Less; the Canadiens are 16-6 SU in this role the L3Y.



ATSRatings.com: Montreal to win by 0.70 goals.

Ron’s Prediction: Montreal 3 Toronto 2

Columbus (5.5) vs. Chicago (-250)

vs.

Keys to selection: Couple of factors to consider on taking the big underdog price on the Columbus Blue Jackets in this spot vs. Chicago. The Blue Jackets have been competitive in their last 4 games, either they won or lost by 1 goal. The Hawks are coming off a long 6-game road trip from the West Coast and normally the first home game off a long extended road trip are the hardest one to win. Plus, we are getting a nice price on the Jackets, so there’s line value on taking the competitive road team in this spot!



ATSDatabase.com Tip: When ANY NHL Team played as a Road team - Vs Conference Opponent - Last 3 years - Before a non conference game - Coming off vs Central division opponent - Coming off a 3 goal win - Coming off a Home win as a Favorite; the Road Team (CL is 11-4 SU in this role L3Y.



ATSRatings.com: Chicago to win by 1.24 goals.

Ron’s Prediction: Columbus 3 Chicago 2

Ottawa (5.5) vs. San Jose (-200)

vs.

Keys to selection: As much as this is being billed as the Heatley Revenge game vs. his old team, I truly believe both parties have turned the page and you will not see any fireworks in this one. Plus, with Neil being out of the line up, you can take that angle out of the equation. Bottom line, the Sens have never played well on the west coast, they are 3-7 SU in their last 10 trips vs. Pacific division foes which includes playoffs games vs. Anaheim in 2007.



ATSDatabase.com Tip: When SAN JOSE team played as Home team as a Favorite - Vs Eastern conference opponent - Coming off a 2 goal win; the Sharks are 11-1-1 SU in this role.



ATSRatings.com: San Jose to win by 0.94 goals.

Ron’s Prediction: San Jose 4 Ottawa 1

LA Kings (5.5) vs. Anaheim (-135)

vs.

Keys to selection: The LA Kings who are averaging a low 2.0 goals for in their last 5 games, are in a classic letdown spot after a 2-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. Plus, the Ducks have played much better defensively of late, as they’ve only allowed 1.67 goals against in their last 3 games.



ATSDatabase.com Tip: When LOS ANGELES team played as a Road team - With 2 day off - Vs Division Opponent; the Kings are 5-15 SU in this situation the last 2 seasons.



ATSRatings.com: Kings to win by 0.25 goals.

Ron’s Prediction: Anaheim 4 LA Kings 3
