Recently a buddy of mine emailed me a text I had sent him on the eve of the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs. In the email was my picks for the first round of the playoffs and I did not even realize it, but I went 8-0 with my choices.

Because I get asked about picks this time of year, they may change daily depending on how I feel at the moment and I don't make one set of picks and stick with them all the time.

I have often thought about making hockey picks for a living and have always felt the 'Vegas" odds makers when it comes to hockey were not as well versed on the game as they are with other sports.

Could I beat them at their game? One day I just may take a shot at them.

I am intrigued by a site like NHLBettingTips.com, where by the way, Niko was also perfect in the first round of the playoffs. The information you can gather there allows you, the hockey fan, to make the correct decision on a game after gathering the trends and stats that goes into making the right pick.

I know I could be successful if I turned to betting on hockey. It is just trying to get myself organized to do so and establish a game plan which would allow me to good at it.

One day, one day, I can see myself being the hockey pick king.
