Best NHL Bets Cheat Sheet: +EV NHL Plays for Today
The Blue Jackets moneyline is +EV only at Tipico, as the OddsShopper True Odds are +185. PointsBet’s line matches that exactly, and every other book has worse odds than +185.
Bet365 and SuperBook are the only books that are beating OddsShopper’s +118 True Odds for the Rangers-Senators first period total. Caesars is at +118, and the under is +112 or lower everywhere else.
DraftKings and BetMGM have the best odds at -110 for Batherson under 2.5 shots on goal. The True Odds have this bet at -120, so Unibet, SugarHouse, BetRivers and bet365 are also +EV, though not as profitable as DraftKings.
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 $4.18 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 Tyler Toffoli over 0.5 power play points at bet365 (+275), then place a 1.964x bet on Toffoli under 0.5 power play points at BetRivers (-250). This will lead to a profit of $7.86 on a $10 initial bet. For a full explanation of this process, check out our breakdown here.
