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.
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.
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 Columbus Blue Jackets have 22% of the moneyline dollars against 81% of the tickets, a 59-point difference. A gap that size means the larger bets are not landing in the same proportions as the ticket count.
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.
