Bettors Cleaning Up Betting on Bruins
When former title as a player (Maine) and a coach (Denver), and the players have responded with the best record in the National Hockey League.

From a betting standpoint, Bruins bettors must take pause because of the Lightning’s dominance head-to-head over the years.
Despite the Bruins’ fairly large lead in the NHL standings, Montgomery’s team knows that they need to clear one final hurdle against a team that has dominated the Atlantic Division (76-26 last 102 games).

The public has spoken loud and clear after the send-out number on this game was Tampa -146. We know that’s a bad number, and so do bettors, who have pounded it down to -110 each way.

This system is 139-76 (65%) +1849 units over the last three seasons, including 42-26 (62%) to start this season.
The theory behind these plays is that the home team will always give an above-average effort in front of their home fans against a good team early in the season.
