Dont just do it blindly all season, you'll lose. It is way too juiced to win in the long run.
If you HAD to do it blindly...i would follow either of these two rules:
1) Wait until the last few months of the season. Teams play tighter in the 3rd period, and dont play as aggresively because they need that extra point to get into the playoffs.
2) Bet OT on games between the Eastern and Western conference. When teams from the same conference play each other, especially the same division, they dont want to concede an extra point to the opponent. However, when a team from the west plays a team from the east, they are only worried bout getting points, they dont mind giving the other team 1 point.
But yeah, i wouldnt recommend playing this bet blindly on every game. Maybe if it were juiced 10 points, but the juice is probably going to be a +300/-360 type of bet, and in the long run, OT will land right in the middle of that. You are just losing way too much value...
