NHL 2011-12 Season Puck Drops 10/02/2011(more...)

The NHL season gets underway this Thursday. For those of you who have been with me for a while this grapevine will be a reminder; for those of you betting hockey for the first time with me please note. As detailed on the NHL page of the website ALL games we bet are for 60 minutes (Regulation time ONLY) unless I specify in the game analysis differently.

I am not interested in risking units on a glorified skills competition if the game is tied after 60 minutes.

Pinnacle and 5Dimes ( for U.S. players ) are 2 books that offer hockey bets for regulation time only. In fact 5 dimes offers MORE hockey bet options than any other book than I am aware of. I highly encourage you if you do not have an account yet at 5Dimes and you plan on betting hockey with me this year; that you click on a 5Dimes banner FROM my website open an account deposit funds and get ready for an exciting year on the ice.

Please also note hockey betting limits at all books are lower than most sports. This is good news and bad news. The bad news the lines move faster they are more volatile so when you get the new pick alert it is important you bet the pick as soon as possible. The good news out of all the major sports the books spend the least amount of time on hockey (it is just not that big a sport bet on) hence when we do bet a game the value tends to be huge.
