I went from around 780 vcash going into today to 1,500 vcash going into tomorrow. And I didn't bet USA.

I think I deserve a piece of cake!!!

@Ritzarmy's performance in this year's NHL finals is the most incredible run I've ever seen anyone else do on SportsHoopla.

Game 1 on June 3: A long series of small losses had halved Ritz from about 13K to about 6.5K. Despite taking so many losses in a row, despite Tampa Bay favored from being at home, Ritz goes ALL IN on Chicago. Chicago wins.

Game 2 on June 6: Tampa Bay still at home, and Ritz puts 3K on them. Tampa Bay wins.

Game 3 on June 8: Now the series goes to Chicago, so they're favored, but Ritz still keeps 500 on Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay wins.

Game 4 on June 10: Chicago still at home, and now Ritz puts 10K on them. Chicago wins.

(What makes this run so impressive to me is this isn't a case of some simple rule like always betting on one team or always betting on the home team or always betting on the underdog or favorite. It's going in heavy, without an obvious pattern, in a closely-matched, back-and-forth Finals series and getting it right every time. Plus, I thought the odds on the NHL Finals games so far have been really accurate -- I didn't bet on any of them because I couldn't see any edge.)

No idea how he's doing this, but, kudos, this is amazing! :clap: :suds:

No clue who wins tonight Cavs or Warriors. I feel warriors can do it but Deli is the wild factor how healthy he is for tonight.

I got curious and punched SportsHoopla's vBookie results in the NBA and NHL Finals into a spreadsheet. :typing:
In case anyone else is interested, here it is: :tea:

SportsHoopla - NBA and NHL Finals 2015.png

Summary:

- The House loved the NBA Finals (+27K) but hated the NHL Finals (-30K). Together, the 2 series were close to a wash for the House.

- Of the bettors, everyone hated the NBA Finals except me (+4K).

- @Ritzarmy was truly phenomenal (+19K) in the NHL Finals.

Damn hockey is over with and now I have to bet on baseball. Well I know nothing about hockey so maybe I can bet better on baseball since I know you have to kick a field goal through the wickets to win. Some great betting by Bussport as well. You sir are a master at betting on every sport :suds:
