[dropcap2]N[/dropcap2]HL bettors are eagerly anticipating the puck drop for Round 2 of NHL playoff betting but first we’ll look back at our Round 1 picks and update the ledger.
In our Eastern and Western Conference previews we offered predictions for all eight first round series with strategies for how to sidestep some of the high juice being charged by online sportsbooks in series such as the Wild vs. Blackhawks or Islanders vs. Penguins. Five of our eight predicted winners from the first round have advanced but because we suggested betting ‘Exact Series’ pricing, only three of those five plays cashed tickets.
Sports betting shops are just releasing Best of Seven Series Prices for the Conference Semi-Finals and after crunching the numbers we’ll be back with a closer look. For now, visit the EveryEdge hockey forum to join the debate with other puckheads as to which teams have the best chance of advancing to the final four.
