HOCKEY BETTING TIPS

Hi, folks, Bob Akmens here. Over the many years I've run a sports service, people often ask me: "what's the best sport to bet?" Pound for pound, probably the sport you can make the most money betting is hockey.

This surprises many, so let's talk about why I think this is true......

1. NHL Decision on Kovalchuk Contract Sets Benchmark for Future Deals

The offseason for Ilya Kovalchuk has been full of ups and downs, for his bank account at least. The winger inked a 17-year, $102-million contract in July only to have that revoked by arbitrator, Richard Bloch.

2. Chicago Blackhawks Hoist Lord Stanley’s Cup With Overtime Win

Forty-nine years of pain, misery and suffering is over for the Chicago Blackhawks and the future looks very bright indeed. Patrick Kane scored the game winner in overtime to lead Chicago to its first Stanley Cup victory since 1961, and now the Blackhawks can breath a huge sight of relief.

3. Stanley Cup Playoff Preview – Marion Hossa’s Third Time A Charm?

The Chicago Blackhawks have punched their ticket to the Stanley Cup Finals betting series, where they’ll face the upstart Philadelphia Flyers who decimated the Montreal Canadiens on Monday night to win the Eastern Conference Championship. Those that want to know if Marion Hossa is really cursed will get their answer in about two weeks. Hockey players and NHL betting fanatics share...

4. NHL Conference Semis Betting Action – Hockey Playoffs Moving Along

With every first round NHL playoff series except one (Montreal-Washington) complete as of writing this– and this weekend’s second round quickly approaching – NHL hockey betting fans everywhere are getting ready to make more bankroll-boosting hockey wagers than ever. This preview of each currently scheduled second round series will give NHL bettors an excellent start in...

5. Ovechkin Suspended Two Games - Campbell Out for the Season

This must be the year of the questionable hit on the Chinese calendar. It seems like this year, more than any other, we have seen dirty hit after dirty hit and sever injuries as a result. Everywhere from junior hockey, where Ben Fanelli’s career was quite possibly ended on a hit from Michael Liambas (see video below) to all the questionable checks we’ve seen in the NHL. The latest hit...

6. NHL News - Ovechkin Being Reviewed For Hit On Campbell

As teams try to worm their way in to solid playoff seeds, the biggest news emerging from the NHL this past weekend came from Washington’s win over the Blackhawks at the United Center. That wasn’t the attention grabbing headline though.

7. NHL Trade Deadline - Penguins and Capital are the Big Winners

NHL Trade Deadline Day 2010 lacked the blockbuster moves and big name guys to really be all that exciting. But there were still 30 moves, just all of them seemingly involved draft picks and prospects. All in all, 52 players were packing their bags on Wednesday, the majority of whom were completely unknown commodities to hockey fans.

8. NHL Trade deadline Winners and Losers

The 2010 NHL Trade Deadline has come and gone and it turned out to be a rather uneventful day as far as Trade Deadlines go. The real deals took place weeks ago when Ilya Kovalchuk, Dion Phaneuf, Olli Jokinen and JS Guigere were moved in pre-Olympics trades.

9. NHL Betting - 12 Games on Tap

The NHL resumed on Monday with the Detroit Red Wings and the Colorado Avalanche renewing pleasantries, Detroit walked away with the two points in that one just as I predicted last night (LINK TO Detroit vs. Colorado article). The victory pushed the defending Western Conference champions up to 70 points and more importantly, moves them into eighth place in the west, just one point ahead of...

10. Olympic Hockey – Epic Game, Epic Audience.

What a game! During Sunday’s Olympic Gold Medal Hockey Game, fans of the sport were reminded of why they loved the game while casual fans were drawn in by one of the most exciting and significant Hockey Games ever. The Olympics are finally over and the numbers keep trickling in.

1. Playoff Betting Trends - Canucks at Blackhawks

After getting their butts whipped, the Chicago Blackhawks look to bounce back when they host the Vancouver Canucks tonight at the United Center at 9 PM ET. NHL Betting Odds: Chicago Blackhawks -1.5 Vancouver +1.5 O/U 6 NHL Betting trends say both teams are great against the spread, which makes it hard to bet on either team.

The best team in the league, the Washington Capitals, hosts the Montreal Canadiens tonight at 7 PM ET at the Verizon Center, looking to take advantage early in the first game of the first round of the NHL playoffs.

3. NHL Betting Trends – Flyers Take On Devils

Despite losing five of the six regular season games against the Philadelphia Flyers, the New Jersey Devils will try to turn things around tonight at 7:30 PM ET at the Prudential Center in the first game of the NHL playoffs. NHL Betting Odds: Philadelphia Flyers +1 New Jersey Devils -1 O/U 5 The Devils were a good team ATS with a 47-34 record, but now everything changes here; the road to a...

4. NHL Betting Trends - High Scoring, High Value

NHL betting fans likely haven’t seen a playoff this exciting in their lifetime. Plenty of seven-game series, plenty of superstars such as Alexander Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby, emerging stars like Simeon Varlomov and David Bolland.

5. NHL Betting Analysis - Pittsburgh @ Nashville

The Pittsburgh Penguins (20-17-4) will try to shake off its recent slump this Thursday night in an NHL betting clash against the Nashville Predators (17-19-3).

The National Hockey League gets back to business on Friday night with nine games on the schedule, including a chance to do some NHL betting on two of the league’s best. The Philadelphia Flyers will travel to Chicago for Friday night to take on a Blackhawks team that is 8-1-1 in its past 10 games. Led by sensational sophomore Patrick Kane (16-23-39 in 31 games), the Hawks entered the...

Although the weather is cooling down, hockey season is heating up at BetUS Sportsbook.

This game highlights a difference in styles with the Blackhawks being one of the highest scoring teams in the NHL, averaging 3.6 goals per game, whereas the...

9. Betting NHL Online - Monday Power Play

There's a great MNF game this evening but don't forget about the online NHL betting action, because among the five games slated on the ice there's money to be made. The game that caught my eye I'm using on tonight's betting slip is the matchup between Nashville (14-10-2) at St. Louis (11-11-3), starting at 8:30pm EST. Nashville has won three straight and improved to 8-3-1 since Nov. 11 with a 1-0...

10. NHL Preview - Canucks and Wild Highlight the Friday Night Board

Wild to Pounce on Road Weary Canucks I hate you, Vancouver. I really do. After years of straight up bashing, I finally get on board and push you as a solid road bet. Then what do you do? You lose three straight road games.
