We will take a look at the best [os_keywords keyword=”NHL bets” sport=”NHL”] for Thursday, Nov. 16, picking one +EV side and one total in addition to the player prop for today’s slate. On top of that, we will explore a couple of OddsShopper’s FREE tools, with the arbitrage bet and Free Bet Converter play of the day!
Best NHL Picks Cheat Sheet: +EV NHL Plays for Today
NHL Side: Montreal Canadiens +1.5 (-134, FanDuel)
NHL Total: St. Louis Blues vs. San Jose Sharks Under 6.0 Goals (+105, Caesars)
NHL Player Prop: Kevin Hayes Under 1.5 Shots on Goal (+110, bet365)
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 below pays out $11.63 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, you will target Brock Nelson‘s power play points, taking over 0.5 at bet365 (+340), then place a 2.656x bet on Nelson under 0.5 power play points at BetRivers (-360). This will lead to a profit of $7.44 on a $10 initial bet. For a full explanation of this process, check out our breakdown here.
