Is It Best To Bet Hockey Overs Every Game?

No.

NO, there are still more Unders than Overs.

I see so many games so far this year that were like 1-0, 1-1 after 1st period and before you know it game is 3-3, 3-2, 4-2 going into final session.

Games used to be over in the 2nd period. Teams can come back from 2, 3 even 4 goal leads easily now.

JJ, that Montreal loss must be stinging.

Weird stuff has been happening since the season started, like that fluke 3rd goal by Boston yesterday. It'll all even out in the end. Or maybe not - variance can be a brutal bitch.

fiver, did you see game live? i did.. and i dont think it can be stinging jj that much cause he didn't see it..jj, if you saw it, your heart would have splashed to the ground.. not only did mtl lead 3-0 early.. but bos made it within 3-2 on a 5 on 3 pp that they scored when it had just ended... also, the tying goal with seconds to go, was a shot that wrapped around the boards and hit something and came to the crease and a bos player just pushed it in with goalie out of crease..

JJ, it's a goal we see maybe 3 times a year in NHL.. maybe 5 times, max.. ouch.. you got robbed so badly.. would have been one of your worse bad beats of the year.. you would have threw up had you saw that goal..

from the little I know about hockey, it seems that:

A. It's early in the season. I don't know about hockey, but in other sports sometimes you see general trends. In sports like CFB, how often to you see established offenses rolling against new defenses? Or the other way round. These things need to settle and get into a regular roll. These can make overall trends (like way more overs hitting then unders) that will let you down at some point in the season when things balance out. (Also check NFL, overs have been killing, I can't believe this won't balance out soon).

B. Lines are just getting sharper? Like I said, don't know a ton about capping hockey, but just because we're not seeing 0-1, 2-0, 2-1 etc, doesn't mean plenty of unders aren't still hitting. Close still counts, its just a little scarier!

Nicky, I know it was on tv but I did not watch it.

Nicky, do the Habs have room for Mats? What if he went there, how much better would they be?

If Mats Sundin came to Habs.. it's over for habs, and over for me betting them every game.. Mats would not only draw the habs prices really up, but the team would play sht with him.. he would cause too much problems in the dressing room over the captaincy.. we already had a small issue over koivu and kovalev wanting the captaincy, and Mats would draw too much tension and stress in the dressing room and some players will not be happy and not playing to their full capacity. it would hurt the teams perfect chemistry they have now..

NO Mats sundin please, or betting the other side at +230 every game would be a dream for me..

Nicky, do not think Mats needs the "C".

He is a silent leader. But then again, looks like the Habs do not need him at all.

saku is the real captain.. he's a great leader.

The NHL Board is looking at a 6-1 night for the overs

Guys I am taking hockey very serious this year

Pay attention

Brady2Moss · 10-16-08, 09:32 PM

Ive done some stats and games in the NHL so far are averaging 6 goals per game, and thats over 48 games... Last season in the first month of hockey, teams averaged 5.5 goals per game...

The reason for it is power play goals are UP, because of the new power play faceoff rules.

I dont know how long until oddsmakers will adjust for this but for the time being I say SLAM OVERS !!!!

Nicky Santoro · 10-16-08, 09:33 PM

jj, it's one day.. the overs are just coming in now. it's coincidence, trust me.. the unders can easily go 34-21 in the next 7 days and then it will be close to even.. jj, there have alwys been more unders in NHL year in and year out, than overs. wait till feb when, just like last year, the unders would go 6-1, 5-1, 4-0 and 7-2 in 4 straight days.. it all evens out jj.. and with the vig, no matter what you take.. ov or un,, you will lose your money.. there is no easy way here jj.. these overs are all a coincidence now, trust me.

Tsoprano · 10-16-08, 09:35 PM

Today overs did great, everything usually balances out though.

Nicky NHL unders use to always be a solid bet and were alwys in the bet until deep into 3rd period, now you have to prey for an under and the bets are in jeopardy late in the second period. Nicky I know what I am talking about, NHL scoring is easier and I have no idea why, maye the shootouts making more games go over and of course watered down goaltending.
