Tips & predictions

Hockey produces a steady stream of figures, from shots to save rates, and a pick built on them can sound like a fact. Here a pick stays what it is: one person’s view of a price.

Tipsters, AI predictions, the daily pick and selections on the 1X2 line are all looked at, along with the sums that let any of them be tested. A price of 5/1 converts to 6.00 in decimal, any margin is found by adding up the prices across a market, and a price is judged against probability rather than against enthusiasm.

Nothing here is a sure bet, and no match is named or return promised. For the punter, betting winnings are free of tax; whoever gambles professionally is pointed to HMRC or an adviser.
