THE STRAIGHT BET
2024-25 NHL Futures Report

The NHL season starts tonight with a tripleheader featuring an afternoon West Coast team, the defending champs, and a new team (kinda!). There will be a lot of big wafers, sharp plays, Needs, and parlay killers over the next few months, but first, lets take a look at the Futures markets.

In this report, we’ll go through the different NHL markets. We’ll take a look at where the sharps and the public are concentrating their action. We’ll look at the Stanley Cup, Conference Title, Individual Awards, and Team Total markets.

We’ve revamped our offerings, with the Betting Market Digest Basic and Betting Market Digest Pro. Basic has deeper dives on the daily information, with volumes, trends, outlooks, HIGH sharp plays, and more. Pro has Vegas Needs, Parlay Killers, or more. Give the Basic one a try for FREE for a few days, followed by a 25% discount.

We’ll have weekly content and deep dives all over our Twitter and Instagram throughout the year.

I hope you find this useful in your wagering. Best of luck!
