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.

What's a meaningful bet/money split?

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.
