Best NHL Bets Cheat Sheet: +EV NHL Plays for Today
The Flames +1.5 only at bet365 (-140), as the OddsShopper True Odds are -141. WynnBet and DraftKings are better than -150 but still a tick behind the True Odds, so only bet365 is viable right now.
DraftKings is the best option here, as it exactly matches OddsShopper’s True Odds of +120 for the first period total in the West Side Story Rumble. Every other book is +115 or worse.
Three books have Draisaitl’s under on 2.5 shots as +EV — FanDuel, BetRivers and Unibet — as the True Odds on OddsShopper are +129. That said, FanDuel is the best option, both for the best odds of +136 and as the most widely available sportsbook.
Arbitrage betting in sports is taking advantage of line discrepancies between bookmakers and betting all potential outcomes at different sportsbooks. Regardless of the result, these bets are guaranteed to be profitable since the payout for winning on either side of the bet exceeds the total amount wagered. This bet pays out $6.79 on a $1,000 bet.
The Free Bet Converter is similar to the Arbitrage Betting tool, only the Free Bet Converter guarantees profitability by specifically targeting sportsbook bonus bets. With today’s play, we will attack Brent Burns over 0.5 power play points at BetMGM (+550), then place a 4.661x bet on Burns under 0.5 power play points at BetRivers (-560). This will lead to a profit of $8.39 on a $10 initial bet. For a full explanation of this process, check out our breakdown here.
