Dirty Picks - The Pickoff

The staff here at Dirty Picks have decided to kick things up a notch starting today. How are we doing this?  With our first ever, possibly semi-annual, Pickoff.  Now, Pickoff’s come in all shapes and sizes (obviously), so let’s layout the rulez for this here contest:

1. Each participant will start with 20 DPD’z (Dirty Pick Dollaz)

2. One and ONLY one pick may be entered into the contest per day

3. The player may wager any amount of his/her choice.

4. There are no bailouts. (This isn’t the U.S. government) If you run out of DPD’z you are out.

5. A pick may be made on any game listed on Bovada that day.

6. The contest will begin on February 11, 2015 and conclude on February 18, 2015. 

7. The winner will be decided by total earnings retained upon the end of the contest period.

8. The winner will receive a prize from each losing participant valued $10.

9. The prizes will be purchased on Amazon or something.

Day 6

Sugar - 3 DPD to win 4.20 DPD
Tampa (+140) @ Los Angeles
Tonight is the second game of Tampa's 6 game road trip.  They got things started off on the right foot last night with a 5-2 win over San Jose.  The Bolts are currently tied with Montreal for first in the East with 76 points.  It's safe to say that this road trip is of the utmost importance in the race for the President's Trophy and playoff home ice advantage.  I expect Stamkos to lead the way for Tampa against the Kings tonight as the Bolts advance to 2-0 on this road trip.

Mr. Nutz 4.15 DPD to win 4.15 DPD

Edmonton @ Winnipeg  (OVER 5.5)
As someone who has nothing to lose, I'm betting all my DPDs on the over between two "average at best" NHL teams. The Jets just beat the Wings 5-4 which I'm sure Sugar is super pumped about. The Oilers got fucked up, for lack of a better phrase, to the tune of 7-2. THEMS A LOT OF GOALS! Roll the over and I'm back in this thing!
