Stanley Cup Playoffs, day 55: Binghamton's big shot

But if they lose, its on you!

Choppy on m bandwidth

Those things can be nightmarish.

It’ll be amazing if Ottawa can land him.

A third-round pick is peanuts for a goalie like Bryzgalov, at least if they can sign him.

Just loving this AHL hockey action!

And BCS is Bowl Championship Series (I think)

Though Switzerland is still pro and pays more than AHL probably.

He’ll be 26 in December, and Ottawa might need the roster space next season.

You are thinking of Daugavins who is Latvian.

But if you insist, I suggest that you need to consider batting averages as well. Baseball is literally a game of chance — nothing happens unless the ball is hit into play. A player’s batting average specifically tells you how likely that is to happen for their at-bat.

So you’d want to fudge your normal distribution for the probabilities of the lineup for any given night.

On top of that, you’d want to factor in the starting and relief pitcher’s ERAs.

And if you were really hardcore, you’d factor in batting averages and ERAs against each other directly as well.

That’s the best way I can think of to try to make a prediction, but you may as well try to predict lottery numbers. I’m sure there’s a normal distribution and frequency there as well, but it doesn’t matter because of the unpredictable nature of how they’re selected. Same thing in baseball, if you ask me. Too many factors involved to make an accurate prediction.

ESPECIALLY when you consider that oddsmakers, who have been setting over/unders for hundreds of years, are skilled enough at it to set the number at a place where they are likely to make money either way. The odds don’t favor the bettor, so you should refrain.

There may be a 75% chance of each team winning, but the chances of all three of them winning is only 42%. That’s why I don’t bother playing Pro Line.

I guess if you can bet on single games you should be able to win more than you lose, but will the amounts you gain when you win cover the amounts you blow when you lose? Not regularly, or else the host wouldn’t be in business for too long.

BOOOOOORING

It’s gone now.

to watch this mother on TV. It’s on cable locally.

But I decided ages ago that they were biased about Cowen and incapable of giving a valid opinion.

It’s not like he was a defenseman, you know?

Just a little fact I like to share

That’s just a back-breaker

Just so long as they pay my drug plan …

I’m probably the only person here that’s been to Binghamton, but I don’t remember seeing an airport.

If they win, that is.

I didn’t know Binghamton was in the Gulf of Mexico?

It doesn’t even say Binghamton.

Plus, it’s sunny with no clouds, so I know it’s fake.
