I’ve logged #NHLpicks on every single game since Oct 2019 and finally started ranking bets from best to worst 250 games ago. Top ranked bets are 24-5 (83%) while approved bets are 67-31 (69%). Tuesday’s full card was shared for free on my site Monday. Hit 10 of the top 14.

Top ranked #NHLbets move to 22-5 since ranking began, but we received some bad news Jake Sanderson won't be playing for Ottawa, so that drops the confidence score. If you need a replacement for your #FantasyHockey team, my weekly waiver report (link in bio) has you covered!

My top ranked bets moved to 21-5 with Boston's win yesterday, but today's adds more risk because we're going against an elite team. I did not green light any Sunday bets, but somebody had to rank #1. Sabres have delivered for us so often I'm actually becoming a fan... #NHLBets

My top ranked bet of the night moved to 8-2 since NHL returned from Olympics, St. Louis playing spoiler in both losses. These are shared with free subscribers daily, dropping first in Substack chat if you like getting in early. Boston is up next, winning 11-straight at home. #NHLbets

I made some new #LeafsForever art for my post-deadline #NHLbets and shortly afterwards Dylan Larkin's right knee bent awkwardly and he left the game (I was watching) in lots of pain (I'm a #LGRW fan). It's either a huge coincidence, or a monkey paw curse coming back to roost...

Here is the Hockeynomics Factory top recommended bet of the night, Sharks hosting Blues, who just traded Schenn and Faulk. Last night top ranked bets moved to 20-4 since ranking began, tomorrow's dropping on the blog soon for free subscribers! #BettingTips

Looking at a sample of 75 post-#NHLTradeDeadline games last 2 yrs, unders & home favorites were the dominant bets. We had lots of sellers, so previous parity may collapse. Visit my site for more recent trend data and #NHLBetting results. My best bet shared daily for free, 20-4 since ranking began!

Here is tonight's top ranked bet, which lost yesterday for the first time since the NHL returned, but 19-4 overall. The pick was made before the Weegar trade. Ottawa moved to -180. This was shared on my blog with free subscribers yesterday. #NHLpicks

My top ranked #NHLbets are now 19-3 since I moved to an AI ranking system, and still struggling to find new readers. I may be giving Chat GPT too much credit because it's not making the picks, it's ranking mine and receives them in my order of preference. My own models are doing the heavy lifting.

Pavel Buchnevich was just added to my #FantasyHockey team because I needed someone eligible at every position, scoring 13 PTS in his last 10 GP, playing Wed-Fri-Sun against leaky opposition. Pavel topped the list.

Since I started using Chat GPT to rank my daily #NHLpicks on every game, approved bets are 53-25, 9-2 since the Olympic break. We have another coming up soon, Ottawa moneyline, though the line moved to -135 from -110 where modelling liked it, taking away some value.

Sorry, that was supposed to be “top ranked bet” not “top ranked by”. Didn’t even notice the typo, but anyone who cashed doesn’t care….

My top ranked by tonight was Minnesota at Colorado, hoping the high altitude back-to-back slows the Avs down (playing Utah last night). There is always risk betting against Colorado, but Wild were on fire pre-break and I'm getting +130. This only ranked #1 because it's a high risk night.

First night back from Olympics and my #NHLpicks picked up right where we left off, hitting 5 of the top 6 ranked bets. I even had Vegas before finding out half of their line-up was out, and they still won. Tonight's card is up on the blog!

Free subscribers get my top ranked bet every night, paid subscribers get picks for every game. Tonight's top bet is Sabres moneyline, which moved to -110. Chat GPT did a remarkable job choosing parlays from my daily picks pre-break but we're being cautious for the first few nights back. #BettingTips

For more than a decade, my Twitter feed was set to display Tweets from accounts I'm following chronologically. Now even when set to "following", the algorithm is prioritizing which I'm seeing, out of chronological order. That's not what I want, but can't seem to switch back.

The Hockeynomics Factory is closing in on 300 subscribers, so I'm offering whoever becomes #300 (free or paid) a prize of 3 free months full-access to bets on every NHL game. We hit a bunch of 3-leg parlays (average 5 to 1) before the break, sharing Olympic bets in the meantime!

I shared 13 three-leg parlays with subscribers in the last few weeks and hit 6, avg line +475. We may have found something Chat GPT is really good at, or simply experienced freak luck. Check out my latest blog post and decide for yourself. 👇#BettingTips

Yesterday we hit our 4th longshot parlay 2 weeks at +535. You might be doing even better betting the component pieces straight up, but I'll run the numbers during the break. There is another on the blog for Thursday but only +385. More Olympic bets dropping tomorrow! #Bettingtips
