Free picks went 4-3 over the weekend. Hope everyone made some money. Anyone who bought a single day of picks and lost, send me an email and I'll give you a week for free to make up for it. Ok, I know everyone just wants the free pick so let's get right to it. NHL Washington +100 vs Toronto. The Capitals xGF : xGA is 6.4 : 5.4, but the Leafs is exactly the opposite 5.4 : 6.4. The biggest difference is the Capitals block over 14 shots per game, which is terrific defense, while the Leafs block only 10. The Leafs also have a save percentage under 89%, so the combination of not blocking a lot of shots and not saving a high percentage makes it pretty clear why their xGA is 6.4. Line should be -138, but the public seems to love the Leafs, so let's take the generous even money price on the Capitals, who should score a bunch.
I've reached 5K documented picks with a 1.5% ROI on Pickmonitor.com. Nobody else is above 1% ROI with 5K picks. For those that don't know, the ROI is how much you expect to make on each bet. An example: Let's say you bet $100 per game and have a long-term ROI of 1.5%. That means your expectation is to make $1.50 on every bet - doesn't matter if the bet wins or loses. If you make 2500 bets in a year, your annual profit expectation is $3750. About 99% of people who bet on sports have a negative ROI, which means they are long-term losers. Let's consider a guy who bets only standard -110 bets and wins 50% of his bets. His ROI is -4.76%. So he will lose $4.76 on every bet he makes - again it doesn't matter if the bet wins or loses. At 2500 bets in a year, he will lose -$11,900. His winning percentage would have to increase to 52.4% to break even in a year. So what long-term ROI do pro's have? ...
