If it closes at -110, you were on the wrong side. The best way to judge yourself as a bettor is to grade yourself against the closing line at Pinnacle (considered the sharpest NHL sportsbook) on the Action Network App.įor example, if you bet the Stars -115 against the Rangers -105 and the game closes at Stars -120 at Pinnacle, you were on the right side of the game.
This doesn't mean it's easy - it isn't - but it is just something to keep in mind if you're considering giving it a go. Not as many people bet on the NHL, so the market is not as efficient as it is for the more popular sports. The best part about betting on hockey is that the market is softer than it is for other sports such as the NFL, college football or the NBA.
