In an effort to make SenShot more interactive, and perhaps hopefully (you willing) to put some coin in my pocket, I am turning to you, the hockey fan, to help me make my Pro-Line selections this season.
Every day I am going to put the schedule up for the following day. I will ask you to vote for your lock of the night, and then I will go to my local corner store and legally place a bet with the top 3 “best bets” as decided by you, the reader of SenShot.

For obvious reasons, I will not be including Ottawa games because that will skew the voting too much, and since I am putting my own money on the line I am using that out.
THE RESULTS SO FAR
WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!
On just the second day of this experiment, you, the readers, made me a winner. Based on your votes for the Oct 3rd games, my betting slip read BOS, PIT and STL. Sure enough, those results cam through and my $2 wager turned into a whole $4.40!!!
As of Oct 3rd: MONEY WAGERED: $4 MONEY WON: $4.40 FAN RECORD: 5-1
Oct 3rd bet:
BOS W
PIT W
STL W
I will post the results the day after the bet, and we can see just how smart the readers are as a collective.
Here is the schedule for October 5th. You have until 3:30 pm on October 5th to cast your vote, and I will bet according to your wishes!
Tthere are 10 games besides Ottawa-Toronto, so I will be wagering on at least the 3 highest vote-getters plus all team that receive 75% or more of the votes (to a maximum of 6). The prevailing votes made by you will be my picks.
NOTE: A game that goes to a shootout is considered a “tie game” for these purposes.
Lets continue the streak!
