My streak of consecutive weeks profit making moneyline/puckline bets on every single game ended, but at least my streak losing money on over/under also wrapped. 🤷‍♂️

New York Rangers are on a back-to-back hosting rested Vegas tonight, hence why my models are loading up on Golden Knights -1.5 goals. I'm lacking sufficient Vegas confidence for -1.5, but will tail on the moneyline, which moved to -170. That's too expensive... 🤨 #BettingTips
December 7, 2025 at 9:42 PM
My pick for Columbus @ Washington shared yesterday in Substack chat is Caps moneyline, which my models love because Blue Jackets are on short rest (otherwise I'd likely be taking CBJ). Logan Thompson is starting, winning 4 of his last 5 starts with a .942 SV%. 📈 #BettingTips
December 7, 2025 at 9:36 PM
My hottest betting models are maxed out on Dallas moneyline today, while my coldest models love Pittsburgh. I'm nervous Pens won 4 of 5, but Stars have been hotter for longer, so I'm tailing the models. #NHLbets

My pick for today's San Jose @ Carolina match shared yesterday (for free) in Substack chat is Sharks moneyline +235 (up to +260). Carolina played last night, so my models love San Jose, but I was hoping for the struggling Andersen, not Kochetkov. Should have gone +1.5. #NHLbets💰

My Week 8 #NHLBetting Report discusses the concept of "trap lines" where a line looks too good to be true, but you bet it feeling like getting great value, then lose. Perhaps the best example this year was Buffalo at red-hot Minnesota. 🪤

Vegas has 4 wins in their last 13 GP, so I’m not betting them -290 despite 2/3 of my hottest models loading up on Vegas moneyline. I’m just tailing my best model with a minimum bet Hawks +1.5 goals at -105. Also don't want to pay -290 for Carter Hart's first game back. #NHLbets
December 2, 2025 at 11:48 PM
This Wild ML feels too good to be true, which could indicate a trap (which happened vs Buffalo), but I'm unable to resist the bait, even with my hottest models 2/3 on Edmonton. The Wall is starting, but due for regression and maybe that's trap. Visit my blog for more #NHLbets.
December 2, 2025 at 11:38 PM
The -298 moneyline for Colorado is expensive but I'm going to pay it anyway. That moved to -355, so you could go puckline if you prefer, but my models went 82% max on Avs ML, that's why I'm tailing. MacKinnon playing, Nichushkin back.

The Florida Panthers are 5-5 in their last 10 games and 8-6 at home, Toronto is 3-7 last 10 games and 3-7 on the road this season. Seeing my hottest models 60% on Florida was all the convincing required.

Dallas Stars won 8 of their last 10, Rangers only 5, and the blueshirts just lost Adam Fox, for a team already deprived of offense. My hottest models are 2/3 on Dallas, so my pick is Stars ML -120, my sister betting 50 cents.

My blog currently features free #NHLbets for every game tonight and a breakdown of the latest gambling trends. My hottest models are all taking Ottawa against Montreal, and mistrust Habs goaltending more than Ottawa, so my pick is Sens ML, minimum bet. My sister bet 25 cents.

Home favorites -1.5 goals was a terrible bet in November 2025 but good in December 2024. Will the recent trend sustain, or will history repeat as last season? Visit my NHL Betting Report every Monday to find out!

My pick for Utah at Dallas shared yesterday on the blog is Utah +1.5 goals, despite my best model putting a max bet on Dallas -1.5. News Clayton Keller's father passed and he's going to play inspired my sister to bet 50 cents on Mammoth ML +115. #NHLbets
November 28, 2025 at 9:19 PM
My pick for Toronto at Washington shared yesterday on the blog is Leafs +1.5 goals, and my sister bet 50 cents at -189. She doesn't trust Toronto as much as my best model, and I'm losing some trust lately in Washington as a Logan Thompson #FantasyHockey shareholder. #BettingTips
