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.
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.
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.
At the latest snapshot, the Tampa Bay Lightning have 85% of the moneyline bets and 76% of the money. The table above has both teams on the moneyline, puck line and total.
The hockey version of a point spread, set at 1.5 goals: the favorite at -1.5 must win by two or more, the underdog at +1.5 covers with any win or a one-goal loss. The prices move instead of the number.
The gap between a side's share of tickets and its share of dollars is the number to watch. About a quarter of NHL games close with the two within 4 points, the typical game sits near 11, and one in ten clears 36. A small gap means big and small bettors see the game the same way.
