Devils vs. Canucks Preview
This system plays the regular season tug of war between public tickets and sharper wallets by isolating modest underdogs in the +110 to +150 range that attract a small share of overall tickets but a meaningfully larger share of the money.
When the money share exceeds the ticket share by roughly fifteen to thirty points, it signals targeted professional interest while the broader market is still leaning favorite, which keeps the price from fully adjusting.
In a league with parity and low scoring, that mismatch in conviction plus a short dog price creates outsized closing value and a steady stream of live underdogs the public is late to respect.
