    NHL Picks - SEASON THREAD - by Professor MJ

    Hello hockey fans!

    I'm a statistics university professor and I love to help fellow sports investors grow their bankroll!

    I have developed the following 4 betting systems (more to come in the very near future), which are all in accodance with my contrarian approach so I really trust them a lot:


    • The Scoring Drought: +90.53 units over 1656 bets.
    • The Sloppy Defense: +27.64 units over 267 bets.
    • The Hot Scorers: +45.08 units over 332 bets.
    • The Stingy Goalies: +94.10 units over 2198 bets.


    (the above numbers were obtained via my dataset on 9 seasons)

    TOTAL:
    Profit = +257.35 units over 4453 bets (a ROI of +5.8%)

    Since the 2012-2013 season was shortened to 48 games, the data correspond to 8.6 seasons.

    You can therefore expect to earn 29.92 units (257.35 / 8.6) over 518 bets (4453 / 8.6) throughout one season.

    If your average bet is $100, your expected winnings are $2,992.

    In this thread, I'm going to present one pick on Tuesdays and Thursdays (and perhaps Saturdays? We'll see how it goes).

    We'll keep track of the record. Sounds good?

    Let's get the party started!

    Today's pick of the day (odds from Pinnacle):

    Sharks (at +105 or 2.05) at Blackhawks

    Let's get off to a good start!

    We got off to a good start with the Sharks upsetting Chicago! Let's keep it up!

    RECORD:
    Bets won = 1
    Bets lost = 0
    Profit = +$1.05 (from RISKING 1$ on every play)

    Today's pick of the day (odds from Pinnacle):

    Coyotes (at +137 or 2.37) at Avalanche

    Have a good Saturday!

    We came close to pulling off a second straight upset, but the Coyotes lost in overtime in Colorado in our last pick.

    RECORD:
    Bets won = 1
    Bets lost = 1
    Profit = +$0.05 (from RISKING 1$ on every play)

    Today's pick of the day (odds from Pinnacle):

    Detroit Red Wings (at +130 or 2.30) at Vancouver Canucks

    Based on "The Stingy Goalies" betting angle, which goes like this:Suppose a team has allowed 3 goals or less in each of its past three games (not necessarily wins). Fade that team if they are now playing at home with odds < 2.25 (i.e. +125 in American format).

    The latter condition ensures we are avoiding betting big&moderate favorites.

    That being said, the Canucks have allowed 2, 2 and 3 goals in each of their three most recent matchups. They are indeed at home with a money line smaller than 2.25 so we are betting AGAINST them tonight.

    Good luck with your plays, sports investors!

    RECORD:
    Bets won = 1
    Bets lost = 2
    Profit = -$0.95 (from RISKING 1$ on every play)

    Today's pick of the day (odds from Pinnacle):

    New Jersey Devils (at -112 or 1.893) vs New York Rangers

    The play is based on "The Cold Teams Matchup" betting angle:Bet a home team undergoing a losing skid of 3+ straight losses when facing a road team that has lost its past 1-2 game(s).

    Since the Devils have lost their past six games, while the Blue Shirts lost 1 game in a row, we're taking New Jersey tonight!

    RECORD:
    Bets won = 2
    Bets lost = 2
    Profit = -$0.06 (from RISKING 1$ on every play)

    Today's pick of the day (odds from Pinnacle):
    Vegas Golden Knights (at -122 or 1.82) at Pittsburgh Penguins

    This play is based on two betting angles, including "The Hot Teams Matchup", which goes as follows:

    "Bet a road team coming off 1-2 straight win(s) when facing a home team riding a winning streak of length 3+."

    Since Vegas has won 1 game in a row, while the Pens are on a 5-game winning streak, we are backing the Golden Knights.

    Have a good Saturday!

    The last 2 picks hit, let's extend this good streak!

    RECORD:
    Bets won = 3
    Bets lost = 2
    Profit = +$0.76 (from RISKING 1$ on every play)

    Today's pick of the day (odds from Pinnacle):
    New York Rangers (at +104 or 2.04) vs Arizona Coyotes

    This pick is based on "The Hot Scorers" betting angle, which goes as follows:

    Suppose a team scores 4+ goals in each of its past 3 games (not necessarily wins). FADE them if they are now playing on the road.

    The Coyotes have scored 5, 5 and 4 goals in their past three contests, respectively. Since they are playing in the Big Apple tonight, we are betting against them.

    Good luck!

    RECORD:
    • Bets won = 3
    • Bets lost = 3
    • Profit = -$0.24 (from RISKING 1$ on every play)


    Today's pick of the day (odds from Pinnacle):

    Anaheim Ducks (at +135 or 2.35) at Dallas Stars

    This pick is based on two betting angles at a time, including "The Cold Team versus Hot Team Matchup", which goes like this:

    Bet a road team coming off at least 2 straight losses when facing a home team coming off at least 2 straight wins. Bet only if the road team's money line is greater than 2.25 (i.e. we only focus on moderate/big dogs).

    This system yielded a 43-unit profit over 9 full seasons (via 428 bets).

    Good luck to you!

    I'm gonna do something special and provide a couple of picks today. But first:

    RECORD:
    • Bets won = 3
    • Bets lost = 4
    • Profit = -$1.24 (from RISKING 1$ on every play)


    Today's picks:
    • Chicago Blackhawks (at +175 or 2.75 with Bet365) at Nashville Predators
    • Minnesota Wild (at +130 or 2.30 with Pinnacle) at Dallas Stars


    Both are based on 3 betting systems at a time!! One of them is called "The Blowout Effect", which goes as follows:

    "Bet a team that just blew out its previous opponent by 3+ goals if they are road underdogs tonight."

    Chicago's last game: won 5-1 against the Kings. Minnesota's last game: won 5-1 against those same Kings. Both Chicago and Minnesota are road dogs today, so they meet all criteria for betting.

    This system generated gains of 60.49 units over 818 bets (ROI = 7.4%) through a 9-year span.

    Good luck!

    6 NHL Picks for November 5th, 2019

    RECORD:
    • Bets won = 7
    • Bets lost = 9
    • Profit = -$2.04 (from RISKING 1$ on every play)


    Today's system plays are (odds from Pinnacle):
    • 5 STARS = Senators (at +230 or 3.30) at Islanders
    • 4 STARS = Avalanche (at +119 or 2.19) at Stars
    • 3 STARS = Flyers (at -102 or 1.98) vs Hurricanes
    • 3 STARS = Blue Jackets (at +125 or 2.25) vs Golden Knights
    • 2 STARS = Blues (at +103 or 2.03) at Canucks
    • 2 STARS = Wild (at +103 or 2.03) at Ducks


    The Ottawa Sens meet the criteria of three betting systems at a time, including "The Hot Teams Matchup" betting angle, which goes as follows:

    Bet a road team coming off 1-2 straight win(s) when facing a home team coming off 3+ straight victories.

    This strategy led to a 66.87 unit-profit over a 9-year span (via 483 bets).

    Since Ottawa has a 1-game winning streak, while the Isles are riding a nice 9-game winning streak, we are backing the Sens tonight. It's a long shot, but we'll see how it plays out!

    NHL Picks for November 7

    We picked both underdogs yesterday and got a 1-1 record, so we did net a profit.

    RECORD:
    • Bets won = 11
    • Bets lost = 13
    • Profit = -$1.72 (from RISKING 1$ on every play)


    Today's picks are (odds from Pinnacle):
    • 2 STARS = Panthers (at -111 or 1.90) vs Capitals
    • 2 STARS = Penguins (at +100 or 2.00) at Islanders
    • 2 STARS = Blue Jackets (at +145 or 2.45) at Coyotes
    • 1 STAR = Rangers (at +226 or 3.26) at Hurricanes


    The Florida pick is based on "The Hot Scorers" betting system, which goes as follows:

    Suppose a team has scored 4+ goals in each of its past 3 games. If they are playing on the road tonight, bet against them.

    This betting angle yielded a 45.08-unit profit via 332 bets through a 9-year span.

    Have a good day, fellows!

    NHL Picks for November 8

    Big payday last night!

    The system plays went 3-1, including a big underdog (Rangers at Canes) and a moderate dog (Jackets at Coyotes).

    We won 3.71 units, which now puts us in profit territory! Attaboy!

    RECORD:
    • Bets won = 14
    • Bets lost = 14
    • Profit = +$1.99 (from RISKING 1$ on every play)


    Today's picks are (odds from Pinnacle):
    • 5 STARS = Red Wings (at +220 or 3.20) vs Bruins
    • 4 STARS = Canucks (at +110 or 2.10) at Jets


    Once again we are going after a long shot. Detroit's pick meets the criteria of a season-high 4 betting systems at a time. It won't be easy at all, so let's cross our fingers!

    NHL Picks for November 11

    AWESOME!! The 5-star pick, was which a long shot, did win! The Red Wings did pull off a nice upset against the Bruins last Friday.

    RECORD:
    • Bets won = 15
    • Bets lost = 15
    • Profit = +$3.19 (from RISKING 1$ on every play)


    Today's picks are (odds from Pinnacle):
    • 4 STARS = Coyotes (at +165 or 2.65) at Capitals
    • 1 STAR = Senators (at +208 or 3.08) at Hurricanes


    The Ottawa pick is based on "The Blowout" betting system:

    Bet a team that blew out its previous opponent by a margin of 3+ goals. The team we bet must be on the road and its money line must be greater than 2.05 (which essentially means they must be underdogs).

    This betting angle generated gains of 60.49 units over 818 bets through a 9-year span.

    Good luck guys!

    NHL Picks for November 15

    Dammit! Our unbelievable good streak ended last night.

    The Red Wings were just 2 minutes away from pulling off the upset in L.A., but the Kings tied the game late in the 3rd period before getting the W in overtime.

    Let's get back on our feet quickly!

    • Profit = +$5.77 (from RISKING 1$ on every play)

    • 2 STARS = Blue Jackets (at +117 or 2.17) vs Blues
    • 2 STARS = Senators (at +128 or 2.28) vs Flyers


    Both picks are based on "The Snapped Winning Streak" betting system.

    NHL Picks for November 16

    I'm posting the Saturday picks in advance since I won't have time to do it then (we are Friday late afternoon at the time of writing).

    The system picks are (odds from Pinnacle):
    • 4 STARS = Jets (at +188 or 2.88) at Lightning
    • 4 STARS = Flames (at -105 or 1.95) at Coyotes
    • 2 STARS = Hurricanes (at -116 or 1.86) at Wild


    The Friday night games might add more system plays for Saturday depending on how they play out, but as of now those are 3 picks that we are definitely taking (since the teams involved are not playing Friday night).

    Enjoy your weekend hockey fans!

    NHL Picks for Tuesday November 19

    For the second straight day, both picks lost.

    We knew a losing streak was bound to happen, eventually. Let's hope it does not last very long!

    RECORD:
    • Bets won = 23
    • Bets lost = 23
    • Profit = +$5.96 (from RISKING 1$ on every play)


    Today's picks are (odds from Pinnacle):
    • 5 STARS = Blues (at +106 or 2.06) vs Lightning
    • 2 STARS = Flyers (at +120 or 2.20) at Panthers
    • 2 STARS = Islanders (at +113 or 2.13) at Penguins
    • 2 STARS = Blue Jackets (at +107 or 2.07) vs Canadiens
    • 2 STARS = Canucks (at +130 or 2.30) at Stars
    • 2 STARS = Maple Leafs (at +131 or 2.31) at Golden Knights
    • 2 STARS = Oilers (at +123 or 2.23) at Sharks
    • 1 STAR = Jets (at +166 or 2.66) at Predators


    The Blues pick is based on three betting systems: "The Big Upset", "The Snapped Winning Streak" and "The Cold Teams Matchup".

    Here are the details of "The Big Upset" strategy:

    "Suppose Team A upsets Team B with odds greater than 2.70 in decimal format (i.e. +170 in American format). If Team B's next game is against a different opponent called Team C, bet Team C is its money line is greater than 1.667 in decimal format (i.e. -150 in American format, to avoid betting big favorites which did not prove to be profitable)."

    This strategy led to 27.81-unit gains via 600 bets over a nine-year span. Not my favoritable betting angle, but still tracking it.

    Tampa's last game was a 4-3 loss to Winnipeg, where the Jets' money line was 2.88. For this reason, we are going to bet AGAINST the Lightning tonight (since St. Louis is NOT a big favorite today).

    Cheers!

    NHL Picks for Wednesday November 20

    5 wins and 3 losses last night. Considering all 8 picks were on underdogs, we made a nice 3.15 unit profit.

    RECORD:
    • Bets won = 28
    • Bets lost = 26
    • Profit = +$9.11 (from RISKING 1$ on every play)


    Only one pick today (odds from Bookmaker):
    • 1 STAR = Rangers (at +158 or 2.58) vs Capitals


    The pick is based on "The Porous Defense" betting angle:

    "Suppose a team allows 4+ goals in each of its past two games. Bet them tonight if they are playing at home with a money line greater than 2.05 (i.e. +105 in American format)."

    Using this system over a nine-year period led to 27.64-unit gains via 267 bets.

    The Rangers have allowed 4 and 9 goals in their last two meetings, respectively. Since they are indeed home underdogs, we are backing them tonight at MSG.

    Good day!

    NHL Picks for Thursday November 21

    Nice hit with the Rangers upsetting the top team in the league last night, yet another rewarding betting day!

    RECORD:
    • Bets won = 29
    • Bets lost = 26
    • Profit = +$10.69 (from RISKING 1$ on every play)


    Today's picks are:
    • 5 STARS = Red Wings (at +151 or 2.51) at Blue Jackets
    • 4 STARS = Sabres (at +192 or 2.92) at Bruins
    • 4 STARS = Flyers (at +144 or 2.44) at Hurricanes
    • 4 STARS = Maple Leafs (at +103 or 2.03) at Coyotes
    • 2 STARS = Flames (at +135 or 2.35) at Blues


    The Detroit pick is rated 5 stars because it meets the criteria of three different betting angles: "The Scoring Drought", "The Stingy Goalies" and "The Cold Team versus Hot Team matchup".

    Let's stay hot!

    NHL Picks for Monday November 25

    What's up hockey fans, I hope you had a nice weekend!

    Here are the plays recommended by my 10 betting systems for today.

    RECORD:
    • Bets won = 31
    • Bets lost = 29
    • Profit = +$10.16 (from RISKING 1$ on every play)


    Today's picks are:
    • 5 STARS = Ducks (at +113 or 2.13) vs Islanders
    • 4 STARS = Golden Knights (at +112 or 2.12) at Stars
    • 3 STARS = Sabres (at +213 or 3.13) at Lightning
    • 3 STARS = Senators (at +143 or 2.43) at Blue Jackets


    The Anaheim pick is rated 5 stars because it meets the criteria of three different betting angles.

    One of them is "The Cold Teams Matchup" strategy:

    "Bet a home underdog if it has lost at least 3 straight games and facing a team that has lost 1-2 game(s) in a row."

    This system led to 44.95-unit gains over a nine-year period (through 141 bets).

    Have a good Monday!

    NHL Picks for Tuesday November 26

    RECORD:
    • Bets won = 32
    • Bets lost = 32
    • Profit = +$8.29 (from RISKING 1$ on every play)


    Just one system play today:
    1 STAR = Bruins (at -114 or 1.88) at Canadiens

    This pick is based on "The Big Upset" betting system, which goes like this:

    "Suppose Team A upsets Team B with odds greater than 2.70 (i.e. +170 in American format). If Team B's next game is against Team D whose money line is greater than 1.667 (i.e. -150 in American format), bet Team D."

    The latter part allows us to avoid betting big favorites; past data suggest they are not good value bets under such circumstances.

    Over a nine-year period, this strategy yielded a profit of 27.81 units via 600 bets.

    It is not one of my favorite betting angles for a few reasons, which is why such picks are rated just 1 star. This season thus far: +4.04 from 18 bets.

    Montreal was the victim of a fairly big upset in their last game; the Rangers beat them despite 2.98 odds. According to the criteria above, we are therefore betting against them tonight.

    Cheers!

    NHL Picks for Wednesday November 27

    RECORD:
    • Bets won = 33
    • Bets lost = 32
    • Profit = +$9.17 (from RISKING 1$ on every play)


    Today's picks are:
    • 5 STARS = Blues (at +138 or 2.38) at Lightning
    • 2 STARS = Panthers (at +138 or 2.38) at Capitals
    • 2 STARS = Golden Knights (at +117 or 2.17) at Predators
    • 2 STARS = Jets (at +125 or 2.25) at Sharks
    • 1 STAR = Ducks (at +127 or 2.27) at Coyotes


    The Blues pick is based on three betting systems at a time, including "The Cold Team vs Hot Team Matchup", which goes like this:

    "Bet a road team coming off 2+ straight LOSSES when facing a home team coming off 2+ straight WINS. Bet only if the road team's money line is greater than 2.25 in decimal format."

    Over a nine-year period, this strategy yielded a profit of 42.69 units via 428 bets.

    In this case, St. Louis is undergoing a two-game losing skid, while Tampa is riding a three-game winning streak. Since the odds on the Blues are indeed larger than 2.25, we are betting them tonight!

    Have a nice day all!

    NHL Picks for Thursday November 28

    3-2 last night despite picking 5 underdogs, so a good money making day (+1.80 units)!

    Both losses by a one-goal margin, so we had a legitimate shot at a perfect 5-0 record.

    RECORD:
    Bets won = 36
    Bets lost = 34
    Profit = +$10.97 (from RISKING 1$ on every play)

    Just one game in the NHL today. My 10 betting systems recommend staying away from that game.

    I still wanted to wish a great Thanksgiving day to my American friends! Enjoy your day with your loved ones!

    NHL Picks for Monday December 2

    RECORD:
    • Bets won = 39
    • Bets lost = 37
    • Profit = +$11.36 (from RISKING 1$ on every play)


    Today's system picks are:
    • 2 STARS = Golden Knights (at -132 or 1.76) at Rangers
    • 1 STAR = RedWings (at +177 or 2.77) vs Islanders


    The Detroit pick is based on "The Porous Defense" betting angle:

    "Suppose a team allows 4+ goals in each of its past two games. Bet them tonight if they are playing at home with a money line greater than 2.05 (i.e. +105 in American format)."

    Using this system over a nine-year period led to 27.64-unit gains via 267 bets.

    The Wings have allowed 5 and 6 goals in their last two meetings, respectively. Since they are indeed home underdogs, we are backing them tonight.

    It also fits my contrarian approach; they won't be a sexy pick considering they have lost their past nine games.

    NHL Picks for Tuesday December 3

    RECORD:
    • Bets won = 40
    • Bets lost = 38
    • Profit = +$11.12 (from RISKING 1$ on every play)


    Today's system picks are (what??? 9 system picks out of 10 games, I've never seen that before!):
    • 5 STARS = Stars (at -109 or 1.92) at Jets
    • 4 STARS = Hurricanes (at +135 or 2.35) at Bruins
    • 4 STARS = Maple Leafs (at -114 or 1.88) at Flyers
    • 4 STARS = Coyotes (at +119 or 2.19) at Blue Jackets
    • 3 STARS = Lightning (at +104 or 2.04) at Predators
    • 2 STARS = Senators (at +145 or 2.45) at Canucks
    • 2 STARS = Sharks (at +107 or 2.07) vs Capitals
    • 1 STAR = Islanders (at +111 or 2.11) at Canadiens
    • 1 STAR = Devils (at +125 or 2.25) vs Golden Knights


    The Dallas pick is based on the following three betting systems: "The Scoring Drought", "The Stingy Goalies" and "The Snapped Winning Streak". The latter goes like this:

    "Bet against a team whose winning streak of length 3+ was just snapped in their previous game. Bet only if your team's money line is greater than 1.667 (i.e. -150 in American format)."

    This betting strategy used over a nine-year period led to gains of $87.34 through 1045 bets.

    In this case, the Jets just got their three-game winning streak snapped, so we are fading them tonight.
