Top NHL GIFT & Anytime Goal Scorer Prop Bet Picks: Wednesday (2/14)
Betting the GIFT (Goal In First Ten) is simple. Pick whether or not a game will have a goal scored in the first 10 minutes of play (00:00-09:59). Itâs that easy and all you have to do is root for anyone to score and you win. It is one area of hockey betting that has a nearly league-wide positive success rate with 93.75% of the league currently cashing at 50% or better this season. I have been able to use this seasonâs GIFT numbers to pick winners with extreme accuracy.
Anytime Goal Scorer props are even easier. Pick a player to score and if they light the lamp at any point, you win!
