Frequently asked questions

What are the public betting percentages for Washington Capitals vs. Carolina Hurricanes?

At the latest snapshot, the Carolina Hurricanes have 91% of the moneyline bets and 98% of the money. The table above has both teams on the moneyline, puck line and total.

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 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.

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.

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 6.5.

Why are NHL moneyline splits so one-sided?

Hockey moneylines usually price a clear favorite, and the public backs favorites. The typical NHL game closes with about 80% of moneyline tickets on one side, and one in four clears 87%. A one-sided split mostly tells you who the favorite is. Fading those heavy public sides has not paid at NHL prices either. See our methodology →
