Our predictions and picks are generated through a rigorous and comprehensive analysis of a variety of factors, including team statistics, player performance, and historical data. Our team of experts also closely monitors the odds and lines offered by different sports books to identify large discrepancies. These discrepancies allow us to gain an edge over the market and increase our profitability by consistently beating the closing line in a high percentage of our plays. Additionally, we also use various mathematical models, machine learning techniques and other advanced methods to analyze the data and generate the predictions. We strive to provide the most accurate and reliable information to our customers to help them make informed decisions.

Positive EV, or expected value, refers to the amount of money you can expect to win or lose on average over a large number of bets in the long run. A positive EV bet means that you expect to make money on average, while a negative EV bet means that you expect to lose money on average. It is a key concept in sports betting that helps bettors determine if a bet is worth making or not, based on the odds and potential payout. By focusing on positive EV bets, you can increase your chances of winning in the long run.

At Hockey Squirrel, we believe that straight wagers are the most efficient and profitable way to bet. We never recommend or release parlays because they are unprofitable in the long term and surrender too much of a house edge. Our goal is to consistently beat the closing line and gain an edge on the sportsbook. By focusing on straight wagers, we are able to provide our customers with the best chance of success and maximize their returns. We believe this is the best way to achieve long-term profitability in sports betting.

If you can’t get the same line that was sent, there are two options available. The first option is to accept the line even if it is no more than a 1/2 point different. The second option is to lay off and skip the pick. Hockey Squirrel is a community focused on learning, building, and branching out in sports betting. The goal is not necessarily to get 100% of the picks every day, but to help members learn to identify value and teach them a methodology for sports betting. As long as the plays are always positive EV, members will come out mathematically profitable in the long run, so there is no need to stress too much about getting every single play.

It’s important to note that we cannot provide legal or financial advice. The size of your bankroll is unique to your individual financial situation. We strongly advise not to bet any money that is required for basic living expenses, as sports betting comes with a certain level of risk and there is a possibility of loss. A general guideline would be to have a minimum of $1,000 with a 2% unit as a starting point, but always make sure to consider your personal financial situation before making any decisions.

The recommended wager per play is between 0.5% to 2% of your bankroll. However, the exact amount can vary based on the size of your bankroll. To ensure safe and responsible betting, it is important not to exceed a maximum of 5% per play. It’s important to remember that we can not provide financial advice, and it’s always best to err on the side of caution.

A unit in sports betting refers to the standard measurement of the size of a bet. The amount of a unit can vary and is determined by the bettor, but it is typically a set percentage of the bettor’s bankroll. For example, if a bettor has a bankroll of $10,000 and uses a 1% unit size, each unit would be worth $100. This makes it easier for the bettor to track their progress and manage their bankroll.

No, Hockey Squirrel does not use a ranking system for pick confidence. All picks are treated the same and are placed as straight wagers to win a unit, unless otherwise specified. Occasionally, half unit or 2 unit plays may be made and these will be specified in the “current-ev” channel in discord at the time of sending. Consistent unit size is emphasized to promote a consistent approach to sports betting.

The way to place wagers can vary between flat betting and paying the juice, but the majority of experienced bettors choose to bet to win a unit. This means that if the odds are -110, they will bet $110 to win $100. The expression “paying the juice” stems from this method. Hockey Squirrel follows this approach and bets to win a unit.
