NHL

Yesterday: -2.14

Really bad beat with Anaheim last night, leading 2-0 with less than 5 minutes left. They lose the lead with :44 left, then come right back and win :51 into overtime but I still lose my wager because they didn't win in regulation. This marks the third time already I've lost a regulation wager that won SU in overtime, the only way this wager can hurt me. The way this wager benefits me, a 1-goal win in regulation (which is much more common), remarkably has yet to happen.
