Having the NHL season start on time this year was a big bonus for hockey betting fanatics and for the Pick Sixty handicappers it provided the chance to see if one of our old underdog system could maintain its solid winning percentage that dates back to 2008.
It’s an early-season system searching for value with road teams whose ability we feel has been underestimated by NHL odds makers and with just a few days left in the opening month we reviewed the results. The basic premise is to look for small to medium road dogs (+110 to +140 money line odds) who are coming off win. We call it “The Hunt for Red Dogtober”.
The only big gap in scoring was third period where home team outscored 1.8 to 1.0.
The conclusion is that since 2008, these road teams are performing roughly 12-percent above expectation and when you are getting an average payback of +124 per play that’s a nice return on you sports betting dollar. We’ll be running system checks throughout the season at PickSixtySports.com and if you have any requests just contact us here, send us a tweet or jump on ‘The Facebook’ and we’ll see if we can help.
