    i have never won a bet on hockey

    granted, i've only started betting hockey this year. but every time i've bet, probably around 15, i lost. what are the odds of that happening?

    Are you checking why you lost your bets or is it dartboard throws?

    Just keep doing what your doing but bet the oppsoite. Simple in theory, you could be 15-0.

    rlm is a myth

    i believe that what appears to be reverse line movement is simply us not aware of the actual public %... misinformation

    Hockey is easier to cap being a watcher imo. You see and remember little things that help make an educated guess. Fading hot goalies is generally bad or hot road/home teams. I stay away from -180 and up favs and teams with fresh injuries due to the line shuffle.

    a few bad beats are understandable, but 0-15 is unimaginable.

    you should pick out 4 or 5 good teams and 4 or 5 bad teams and only bet the games where one of your good teams plays one of your bad teams.

    dont bet overs against goalies: pavelec, ward, price

    all the teams i bet on get blown out or can't hold the lead at the end of the game.

    if the game is close, my team had the lead then fell apart.

    Line movement in hockey means about as much as who is singing the national anthem.

    Keep at it. 15 games is nothing in the long term. You can't avoid variance. I went 5-0 two nights ago and 0-4 tonight. Just use money management and don't lay juice you will be fine.

    Hockey is a tough game, so many different lines to bet
    so much much
    home ice does not mean that much compared to other pro sports

    most goals are from deflections/ goalie mistakes/ powerplays (all completely unpredictable)
    empty net goals kill your under
    a shootout decides the game 15%-20% of the time

    its no wonder everyone on SBR gets killed betting NHL

    best way to play hockey is to just see the matchup..handicap it..usually i prefer over/unders as they are easier to call..and then bet it REGARDLESS of the odds or line movement..i dont play hockey often but when i do i just look at the last 5 games or so of each team and gauge it from there..then make a quick snap decision without overthinking it.
