NHL System Picks 2021 by Professor MJ

[Prof.MJ]

Hello hockey fans!

I'm a statistics University professor from Canada, and I love to help fellow sports investors grow their bankrolls!

After analyzing data on several full NHL seasons, I have developed 10 winning betting systems.

Those strategies are all in accodance with my contrarian approach, except a single one.

I posted my NHL system picks last year (we won 18.79 units via 421 bets), and I will do it again starting from today.

We'll keep track of the record. We will be RISKING 1 unit on each play. Sounds good?

Let's get the party started!

Today's pick of the day (odds from Sports Interaction at 2:39 PM Eastern Time):

Nashville Predators (at +180 odds, or 2.80 in decimal) at Carolina Hurricanes

This pick is based on "The Hot Teams Matchup" betting system, which goes as follows:

Bet a road team coming 1 or straight win(s) when facing a home team coming off 3+ straight wins.

This strategy, over many seasons, yielded a 66.87-unit profit over 483 plays (a 13.8% ROI).

Let's get off to a good start!

NHL PICK FOR MARCH 10


We came close from hitting our big underdog pick yesterday! The Predators took a 2-0 lead in the second period, but could not hold on and ended up losing in overtime. Still, it turned out to be a good pick, nonetheless.


RECORD:
Bets won = 0
Bets lost = 1
Profit = -1 units (from RISKING 1 unit per play)


Today's pick of the day (odds from 10Bet at 9:04 am Eastern Time):


Minnesota Wild (@ +110 odds) vs Golden Knights



This pick is based on "The Snapped Winning Streak" betting system, which goes as follows:

Bet AGAINST a team whose winning streak of length 3+ was just snapped in their previous game. Make the bet only if the team you are betting has a money line that's better than -150 (i.e. 1.667 in decimal). This strategy, over many seasons, produced a 87.34-unit gain on 1045 bets (a 8.4% ROI).


In Vegas' last game, they had their 6 game winning streak snapped by Minnesota when they lost 2-0.


Good luck!

NHL PICK FOR MARCH 11


Hit the Minnesota Wild pick yesterday to bring us back to 1-1 and up 0.1u.


RECORD:
Bets won = 1
Bets lost = 1
Profit = +0.1 units (from RISKING 1 unit per play)




Today's pick of the day (odds from BetOnline at 8:37 am Eastern Time):


Buffalo Sabres (at +175) vs Pittsburgh


This pick is based on two betting systems – the one I like the most is "The Hot Scorers" system, which goes as follows:


Suppose a team has scored 4+ goals in each of its past 3 games (not necessarily wins). FADE them if they are playing on the road today.


This strategy, over many seasons, produced a 45.08-unit profit over 332 bets (a 13.6% ROI).


The Penguins have scored 4, 5 and 4 goals in their past three contests, respectively so we are betting against them.


Good luck!

NHL PICK FOR MARCH 12

Missed the Buffalo pick yesterday to bring us down to 1-2 and down 0.9u.

RECORD:

Bets won = 1
Bets lost = 2
Profit = -0.9 units (from RISKING 1 unit per play)

Today's pick of the day (odds from 10Bet at 9:15 am Eastern Time):

Anaheim (+110) vs Sharks

This pick is based on "The Porous Defense" betting system, which goes as follows:

Suppose a team has allowed 4+ goals in each of their last two games. Bet them if they are home underdogs today.

This strategy, over many seasons, generated a 27.64-unit profit via 267 bets (a 10.4% ROI).

The Ducks have allowed 5 goals in each of their past two contests, respectively so we are betting them.

Good luck!

Professor MJ

[Prof.MJ]

NHL PICK FOR MARCH 13

Anaheim laid an egg yesterday which brought us down to 1-3 and down 1.9u. But I’ve been doing this for a long time and unfazed.

RECORD:
Bets won = 1
Bets lost = 3
Profit = -1.9 units (from RISKING 1 unit per play)

Today's pick of the day (odds from Bet365 at 10:30 am Eastern Time):
Columbus (+125) vs Dallas

This pick is based on a couple of my NHL betting systems including "The Porous Defense" betting system, which goes as follows:
Suppose a team has allowed 4+ goals in each of their last two games. Bet them if they are home underdogs today.
This strategy, over many seasons, generated a 27.64-unit profit via 267 bets (a 10.4% ROI)
The Blue Jackets have allowed 5 and 4 goals in each of their past two contests, respectively so we are betting them.

Good luck!

Arizona (+180) vs Minnesota


This pick is based on a couple of my NHL betting systems including "The Scoring Drought" betting system, which goes as follows:
Suppose a team has lost its past two games, while scoring at most 3 goals in each of those defeats. Bet them tonight if they are on the road with a money line that is better than -125 (i.e. 1.80 in decimal).
This strategy, over many seasons, produced a 90.53-unit profit over 1656 bets (a 5.5% ROI).


The Coyotes have scored 0, 1 and 2 goals in each of their past three contests, respectively so we are betting them.

Today's pick of the day (odds from 10Bet at 10:00 pm Eastern Time):

Boston (-115) at Pittsburgh

This pick is based on "The Stingy Goalies" betting system, which goes as follows:

Suppose a team has won its past 3 games, while allowing a maximum of 3 goals in each of those victories. If they are at home today, bet AGAINST them (provided that the road team's money line is better than -135, or 1.74 in decimal).

This strategy, over many seasons, led to a 63.88-unit gain over 933 wagers (a 6.8% ROI).

The Penguins have allowed 0, 2 and 2 goals in each of their past three contests, respectively so we are betting against them.

Truthfully, its been a slow start but for a long term bettor, we've all experienced peaks and valleys. The important thing is that we see light at the end of the tunnel. I'll continue to post daily picks - tail or fade, but either way I wish you the best of luck!

@MisterSack

Totally my fault, the Cold Teams Matchup has 2 potential systems. I copied/paste the wrong Cold Teams system but I had the correct intended bet - we were going for Chicago.

Yesterday's system was supposed to read:

This pick is based on "The Cold Teams Matchup" betting system. This strategy has two different sets of criteria for betting; the one that concerns today's pick goes like this:
Bet a home team coming off 3+ straight losses when facing a road team coming off 1 or 2 straight loss(es). Pull the trigger only if the home team's money line is better than +105 (i.e. 2.05 in decimal).
This strategy, over many seasons, generated a 44.95-unit gain over 141 wagers!
