I've been looking far and wide, but it seems to me that the successful Hockey Cappers are and lot fewer-and-far-between than those of the other major leagues. Is this not a true assertion? If it is, what is the cause? Is there variance in Hockey just too great, more so than baseball? Is the pool of individuals who have a true understanding of the sport smaller? Just wanted to get some of your thoughts on the subject. Thanks guys.

I don't think so, if you look at the college basketball forum it seems like just about everyone has struggled lately.

ask any bookie....anywhere and they will tell you hands down that the NFL is their moneymaker. As in any sport, there are years where certain sports fare better than other years....but long term NFL is the toughest to get a handle on. You could probably count on one hand the amount of cappers that win long term in the NFL in the world. Baseball imo is the best shot at winning long term.

I find Hockey extremely difficult to hit with any consistency. Couple of weeks ago played a RR3 ML with THE BEST six teams in NHL. Boston, Chicago, Washington, Detriot, etc. THEY ALL lost on the SAME night. Last year got hammered when Detriot was supposedly a lock in the playoff game in which they had not lost x amount at home. Naturally they lose that night at home. Kinda reluctant to bet on hockey these days.

Of course the NFL is the bookies best but thats because of volume compared to other sports.

The NHL is poison, I look for very short term streaks

I disagree. I think there are far more good NFL cappers than any other sport.

The reason the books still make so much money is everybody loves to wager on football games...and every Joe that watches one pre-season NFL game thinks they can beat the book.

nhl,dogs or nothing.
The refs dictate the flow of the game this giving an inordinate # of pp`s.
Laying wood in the nhl equates to going broke very fast.
