What the data says

The tickets and the dollars disagree on St. Louis Blues at Nashville Predators. The Nashville Predators have 57% of the moneyline bets but only 24% of the money, so the average bet on the St. Louis Blues is a good deal larger than the average bet on the Nashville Predators.

A split of 33 points puts this game in roughly the top quarter of NHL games. It tells you the bigger bettors see this game differently from the crowd. It doesn't tell you they're right: across the last two seasons, simply following the money on NHL moneylines lost about the bookmaker's margin.

On the total, 96% of bets and 96% of the money are on the Over 5.5. That's the normal pattern in hockey: over the last two seasons, 65% or more of total bets landed on the over in about 94% of NHL games.

Frequently asked questions

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 are the public betting percentages for St. Louis Blues vs. Nashville Predators?

At the latest snapshot, the Nashville Predators have 57% of the moneyline bets and 24% of the money. The table above has both teams on the moneyline, puck line and total.

Does the public bet the over in NHL games?

Almost always. Over the last two seasons, 65% or more of total bets landed on the over in about 94% of NHL games. On this game the public side of the total is the Over 5.5.

What is the puck line?

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.

Where is the money going in St. Louis Blues vs. Nashville Predators?

The Nashville Predators have 24% of the moneyline dollars against 57% of the tickets, a 33-point difference. A gap that size means the larger bets are not landing in the same proportions as the ticket count.

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.
