NHL Money vs. Tickets Today, October 8

The NHL games tonight where the share of moneyline money and the share of bets on the public side are 20 points or more apart, about one game in four. Fewer, bigger bets are landing differently from the many small ones.

No game tonight has the money and the bets 20 points apart yet. Splits move through the day, so check back closer to puck drop. Meanwhile, every game tonight is ranked on the biggest splits page.

Splits alone haven't beaten NHL prices. Some spots have.

NHL analytics tracks a short list of signals graded over two seasons of closing lines, and flags a game only when tonight's price still leaves value. For subscribers.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the public bet the NHL favorite so often?

Moneyline bettors are picking a winner, and the favorite is the likelier one. Last season the side with more bets was the favorite in 97% of NHL games, with about 79% of the bets in the typical game.

When do the NHL splits update?

Through the day, from when the books post a game until puck drop. This page reads the latest numbers each time it loads, and each game links to its own page with the moneyline, puck line and total.

Does following the money win in NHL betting?

Not on its own. Over the last two NHL seasons, backing the side the money favored and fading the side the bets favored both lost about the bookmaker's margin at closing prices. The splits describe how the betting is landing, not who will win.

What do NHL betting percentages show?

For each side of a game, the share of bets placed (tickets) and the share of money wagered (handle). When the two differ, the average bet on one side is bigger than on the other.
