IcePick - 2024-10-27
There are 4 games today, and a potential return of 59%
A bit of an interesting day yesterday, going 10/14. One overtime win away from being a big winning day, the actual results depend on what sportsbook you use.
Additionally, as the IcePick model will soon be in full swing, I have included a few questions throughout todays picks for you to answer. Please read through the whole thing and answer any questions when prompted to help make this the best experience possible.
Previous Results
Here is a summary of how yesterdays bet’s performed & the total returns this season.
However, I personally use bet365 as they pay your bet out as a winner if they take a 3 goal lead (regardless if they end up losing). This happened to be the case with one of the underdogs predicted last night (went from up 3-0 to losing 6-3). Had you used bet365 last night, you would of seen a very small return instead of a loss.
Here is a summary of how yesterdays bet’s performed & the total returns this season with early payout in effect (3 predictions this year would have gotten an early payout and then ended up losing).

Suggested bets - More balanced
There are two main candidates for how the bet amounts are chosen.
One of these (the one we have been using so far) ends up putting much larger bets on predicted underdogs (is influenced more by the difference in IcePick’s predicted win chance and the sportsbook’s implied win chance).
The other option, is less influenced by win chances and has more balanced bets (not a huge difference in amount bet on a favorite vs underdog). Although in certain situations (like the previous 2 days) this would lead to less of a loss, in other situations it will limit your winnings. Below is what the returns for this season would look like using this strategy (with no early payout).
Below are the bet amounts for today under this strategy
Wagering 3.55 units on 4 games (0 underdogs) for a potential return of 5.22 units
(1.67 unit profit, 47% ROI)
Matchup | Predicted Winner | Wager (units) | Wager ($10 units) |
---|---|---|---|
EDM vs DET | EDM | 0.8 | $8.0 |
ANA vs NJD | NJD | 0.9 | $9.0 |
MTL vs PHI | PHI | 0.95 | $9.5 |
OTT vs COL | COL | 0.9 | $9.0 |
