Tuesday NHL Best Bets, Monday recaps
Monday was mostly spent reflecting on what a great Super Bowl we had on Sunday, including writing a story for the VSiN.com website on how the Nevada handle was down from last year’s record.
The sportsbooks’ handle and hold percentage were also down from previous years as bettors had a lot of success in prop bets, helped by the high-scoring game as the masses love to bet Over on their favorite players’ individual stats as well as taking shots with some longer-priced props. Check out our Sunday night recap if you missed it as we attempted to tell the story of the Chiefs’ 38-35 victory over the Eagle through 10 interesting prop bets that cashed. As for our Best Bet on Monday, we won with Flames-Senators 1P Over 1.5 -150/Red Wings-Canucks 1P Over 1.5 -175 as the parlay paid +162 with both games ending the opening 20 minutes in 1-1 ties. That’ll work.
Let’s recap the rest of Monday’s (full-game) action and look for most Best Bets on Tuesday, plus our early Super Bowl LVIII futures that we gave out after Sunday’s game on “The Greg Peterson Experience.”
