Frequently asked questions

Where is the money going in Vegas Golden Knights vs. Detroit Red Wings?

The Vegas Golden Knights have 37% of the moneyline dollars against 93% of the tickets, a 56-point difference. A gap that size means the larger bets are not landing in the same proportions as the ticket count.

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.

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.

What is the difference between bet percentage and money percentage?

Bet percentage counts tickets: every wager counts once. Money percentage counts dollars, so one $1,000 bet outweighs a hundred $10 ones. Reading the two together shows whether the bigger bettors agree with the crowd.

Is 93% of bets on one NHL team unusual?

Less than it sounds. The typical NHL game closes with about 80% of moneyline tickets on one side, usually the favorite, and one game in four clears 87%. A split this one-sided mostly says who the public sees as the favorite.

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.
