Of course, the most important aspect to betting hockey, just like betting on any sport, is doing your research before making a bet. Since there’s somewhat less interest in hockey, the bookmakers generally spend a little less time creating their hockey lines, meaning that a gambler who takes the time to do research can find many spots where the sportsbooks have missed something and one side of a bet has a major edge.
While there are numerous factors that should play into your hockey wagering, two of the biggest are goaltending and penalties. Before betting on any game, make sure you know who will be starting in net for each team; the difference between starting and backup goaltenders can be significant. You should also check on a goalie’s recent form, since a hot goaltender can carry a team. As for penalties, a team that converts power plays at a high rate will have a significant advantage over a team with a tendency to get in the penalty box often. Keeping an eye out for these kinds of trends and matchups should give you an edge when betting on hockey.

I'm kind of excited for this NHL season. I'm going to come up with my own model, but if it fails I'll probably hop on this bandwagon.

I always appreciate handicappers who develop their own models. Good luck buddy!

Here's my favourite model by the way..

Unfortunately I didn't start trailing you until mid to late December last year. At what point during the season do you plan on posting your pics? Does your system require you to let the 1st 2 or 3 weeks take place before it analyzes the statistics, or will you be picking dogs starting on opening night???

Can't wait for the pics to start rolling in! Good luck!!!!

Thanks!

I definitely followed you last year Sawyer. Great run. Last year you didn't start until December I recall. Will you be starting before then? If you back tracked would the system still be successful this early in the season. I know it didn't finish very well but I wasn't sure if it would start well and kind of balance out the whole system. Just a thought.

I started posting on December last season. But tracked all results thru November. November was good so I started posting..

Unfortunately, don't have any chance to make a backtesting for previous October..

Maybe I should start on November..But I like to start today. Early season is full of surprises/upsets. I believe this system can be successful in early season too.

But it doesn't mean you should start today. You can join at November if you like. It's a looong season, no need to hurry..or wait for 1-2 weeks to see how plays are doing, then join the wagon.

One play for today..coming up!

First Iron Dog Play of the season!

Here it comes!

PITTSBURGH PENGUINS +145

+140 @ 5Dimes
+145 @ Bookmaker
+138 @ Pinnacle

You can start following today or wait for November. It's up to you. No need to hurry, it's a long season..

I wish us all a profitable hockey season!

Got my picture with those Ice Girls after a Pens game last year in the VIP Club. BOING!!!

Lets get it going! Gl Sawyer, I'm with you all year!

Thank you fellas. Let's rock!

Btw, I'm surprised to see Penguins +145 at Bookmaker. Bookmaker has 20cent hockey lines but this offer is even higher then 5Dimes&Pinnacle. Reason is, Bookmaker usually offering bad lines for favourites so odds for underdog can be high sometimes.

I like it....GL tonight

Let's rock!!

I'm investing here. Good luck Sawyer.
Here's to a great and profitable year.

Best of luck this year!!I am taking both Pennsyvania Teams tonight

How do you chose your dogs?

And I just love that name "Iron Dogs" !!!

Penguins are +131 now @ Pinnacle.

Sawyer bol tonight & the rest of the season...

Best wishes

HERE is to a great start, to an even better season!!!
