Rousing Ovation for 2024 3rd Overall pick Beckett Sennecke (Via: Derek Lee) As the 2023-24 season comes to a close, we look back at what our overall record on the season and what bets we were successful with and ones we weren’t. We finished with a losing record unfortunately at 376-378 (-2) but hopefully you followed our picks at the right time and made some cash along the way. There were certain bets we were more precise at predicting than others and the numbers reflect that. Bet types: Moneyline: 59-77 (43%) Player Props: 131-111 (54%) Team Under: 22-15 (59%) Team Over: 19-30 (38%) Game Under: 40-46 (46%) Game Over: 54-57 (48%) Puck line -1.5: 11-16 (40%) Puck line -2.5: 1-1 Puck line +1.5: 32-14 (69%) Puck line +2.5: 6-2 (75%) First Period Moneyline: 0-1 Game Props: 0-1 Team Props: 0-1 Overtime: 0-1 We had a sensational year when it came to predicting what players were going to do as we secured a 131-111 record. This was one of our most consistent bet types as most days we had one or two correct picks with certain players. The Puck Line was something we excelled at this season as we correctly predicted which underdogs would come within at least a goal in almost 70 per cent of our picks. We were also fairly good at gauging when a team was going to have an off night leading to our 59 per cent success rate at guessing when teams would go under. It is very true that hockey is one of the most unpredictable sports in the world and it showed with our 43 per cent success rate on our straight game picks on the moneyline. We also struggled to keep up with goals in certain games as we recorded a record of 19-30 on game totals going over. Overall Team Records: Ducks: 10-9 (52%) Coyotes: 7-11 (38%) Bruins: 11-18 (37%) Sabres: 10-6 (62%) Flames: 8-9 (47%) Hurricanes: 9-12 (42%) Blackhawks: 4-5 (44%) Avalanche: 12-13 (48%) Blue Jackets: 5-7 (41%) Stars: 23-15 (60%) Red Wings: 6-12 (33%) Oilers: 8-20 (28%) Panthers: 19-21 (47%) Kings: 15-14 (51%) Wild: 5-6 (45%) Habs: 10-13 (43%) Predators: 9-15 (37%) Devils: 6-10 (37%) Islanders: 12-12 (50%) Rangers: 21-12 (63%) Senators: 6-14 (30%) Flyers: 4-13 (23%) Penguins: 10-8 (55%) Sharks: 9-5 (64%) Kraken: 7-10 (41%) Blues: 10-13 (43%) Lightning: 5-14 (26%) Leafs: 13-12 (52%) Canucks: 17-9 (65%) Golden Knights: 8-7 (53%) Capitals: 10-9 (52%) Jets: 12-7 (63%) Some unexpected teams ending up making us the most profits this season with the Sabres, Sharks and the breakout Canucks all having hit rates of over 60 per cent. The Dallas Stars and New York Rangers had great seasons that lead them to respective conference final appearances and their success translated to our picks as the two hit over 60 per cent of their bets. Teams that were surprisingly bad for us this season were the Oilers, Flyers and Lightning. The trio had great teams but this season but all had hit rates under 28 per cent. The other teams we couldn’t get a grasp of were the Bruins, Red Wings, Predators, Devils and Senators as they all hit under 37 per cent or worse of their bets. Notable Player Prop Records: Auston Matthews: 11-4 (73%) Leon Draisaitl: 6-1 (85%) Pavel Zacha: 4-0 (100%) Zach Hyman: 4-2 (66%) Valeri Nichushkin: 3-0 (100%) Connor McDavid: 6-6 (50%) Roman Josi: 2-0 (100%) Steven Stamkos: 2-0 (100%) The near-70 goal scorer had a memorable season and it shows in our records. We more often than not predicted a Matthews goal with most Leafs games and it hit at an astounding 73 per cent rate. Leon Draisaitl was another key player for us this season as he continued his hot streak into the postseason and helped us continually stay in the green. One of our favourite picks for the Pad Stacking Challenge, regularly was Boston’s Pavel Zacha. He remained in a reliable point producer thanks to his placement on David Pastrnak’s line and helped us out in key spots where we needed a win.
