When do these NHL betting splits update?

Through the day on game days, from publicly reported sportsbook handle on a sub-hourly cadence, until puck drop. The page shows the latest snapshot each time it loads.

Should you bet with the money in the NHL?

Not on the split alone. Across the last two NHL seasons, backing the side with more money than tickets and fading heavily bet public sides both lost at closing prices, about the size of the bookmaker's margin. Splits are context for your own read, not a pick.

Are these splits from one sportsbook?

No. They reflect publicly reported sportsbook handle, aggregated, rather than a single book's customers. Individual books can differ, especially early in the day when few bets are in.

What does it mean when bets and money split?

Every ticket counts once in the bet percentage, but in the money percentage a $1,000 bet counts a hundred times more than a $10 one. When the two disagree, the bigger bets are landing somewhere other than the crowd. In the NHL that is common: last season the typical closing moneyline gap was about 11 points, and one game in four cleared 22. On its own, following the money has not beaten NHL prices.
