Yea, the only real difference is that you don't need to know anything about hockey to play the one i'm playing....as far as you don't have to try and decide which teams aren't going down 4-0 or 4-1....although I often come across some of my plays in the same way. If i see a team drop to 0-2 in a series (or even 1-1), then they come home for 2 games, I might play em in game 3, and if they lose, again in game 4, figuring i get a split at the worst, especially if they were a strong home team like Anaheim.
On my regular plays, I don't double up though, but instead just go for the break even (+ or - a little juice) if i go 1-1....and that way it doesn't hurt as much if they do lose both.
The problem with the system i'm playing is that if a team would drop to 0-3, then come back to win 4-3, you'd end up dropping about maybe 30-50 units, depending on the juice....but it's so unlikely that the lesser seed comes back from 0-3, that I think it's worth the shot. So far the most I've gone to was a game 5, when Anaheim jumped out 3-0 in Minny, then I switched to Anaheim in game 4 and Minny won, so then I ended up having 14.78 units risked on the Ducks in game 5 to win 8.44. I was never worried about Anaheim actually losing the series though, so I didn't really sweat that game 5, even though I had a pretty big chunk of change on it.
Now if it had gone to a game 7, that would have been a different story. Then I would have been worried, lol
