Boston have won the Stanley cup with an impressive 4-0 away win over Vancouver. Our model gave them a 46.4% chance to win the decider, and at odds of 2.37, was a small but handy overlay. Unfortunately the overs bet of over 5 goals went down.
That being said, it has been another successful season for NHL. Totals betting was once again the key market, with the Sportpunter model making a very impressive 5.8% ROI throughout the year. The playoffs weren’t so kind however. Before the playoffs took place we were winning at a rate of 7.6% ROI.
Since 2005 we have made 6.3% ROI, so this years record is on par with the long term average. Full results available here.
Still a very successful NHL season, and I am looking forward to next season where hopefully the long term positive trend will continue.
