Hockey Betting Online
Hockey betting is becoming more popular each year, but the NHL still ranks a distant fourth among North America’s Big Four sports in terms of fan viewership and sports betting interest. But among smart bettors, pro hockey odds are one of the first places to check out each day. Many believe NHL odds can be more favorable for bettors because there is less action and therefore less need for the oddsmaker to ensure his hockey lines are razor sharp. That means you can often find better line value on the NHL odds than in most sports.
