Click Away for Free Picks from the Nations Best   Why Should I Bet on Hockey? by Tom Freese  Marc 2004 Why should I bet on Hockey? That is one of the most asked questions I get as a professional sports handicapper. The answer is simple. It's because you can make money betting on NHL games. Linesmakers spend less time and energy into posting NHL lines than they do any of the other major sports. Because they get more "ACTION" on Football, Basketball, and Baseball they focus mainly on those sports. With that said, an astute hockey handicapper can find greater value in the NHL than in any of the other sports. Those of you who wager on sporting events to make money would be well advised to bet on the NHL as well. I realize that hockey is not the most popular sport in the United States, but I also realize MONEY is very popular. I am not going to wax poetic here and say that the NHL is fool proof and you can't lose. That is not the case. However, I will tell you that I have had 4 winning seasons in the last 5 years handicapping the NHL. With my only losing season coming last year with the losses being small. I handicap the NHL the same way I do all the other sports. Simply put we PLAY ON teams who are in roles that they are very good in and we PLAY AGAINST teams that are in roles in which they are very poor in. In essence it is time tested ANGLES, TRENDS, and SYSTEMS that have been reliable over several years. In closing what we have here is a very simple formula. I concentrate more in the area where the linesmakers concentrate the least and I plan on winning in the NHL at least 4 out of the next 5 years. Here's hoping you do as well. For any of you who like to make FUTURE BETS, my team to win the STANLEY CUP this year is the OTTAWA SENATORS. The Senators lost to the Devils in the Eastern Conference Finals last year in a series where they outplayed the Devils. This years Ottawa team is better then last year and from what I can see they are the only team in the NHL without a weakness. The Sens will be drinking from Lord Stanley's Cup at year's end.
