The National Hockey League (NHL) is one of the four biggest professional sports in the United States, and it’s usually fourth in terms of popularity. That doesn’t mean that this sport doesn’t have a massive following though, and it’s a sport that leads to some great betting options.

The NHL was founded all the way back in 1917, and the league has seen plenty of growth since that first year. There were only six teams when the league first began playing, but that number has now grown all the way up to 32.

25 of the teams are from the United States while there are also seven teams from Canada. The NHL season typically runs from October through April, with the NHL Stanley Cup Finals taking place during the month of June.

NHL teams play 82 regular season games, and that leads to plenty of NHL betting opportunities. Here is a look at some of the best NHL sportsbooks as well as how to bet on NHL.

The Genesis Open is now the Genesis Invitational, which means a bigger purse and a stronger field at Riviera Country Club in the Los Angeles area. This tournament has had a lot of different names over the years, but one thing has generally remained the same. It takes a big hitter off the tee to be in contention, which is why Bubba Watson, Dustin Johnson, and JB Holmes are all recent winners here.

Brian Blessing has his sights set on one of those three guys, but also a lot of different players for this year’s version of the tournament. The Genesis Invitational purse is up to $9.3 million, so it has brought out just about all of golf’s best, including Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Hideki Matsuyama, Dustin Johnson, Xander Schauffele, Brooks Koepka, and, of course, Tiger Woods. Tiger has never won here, but he also hasn’t played this event a whole lot. Does that mean that his price is good enough to take a shot?

As you would expect with a field that has just about all of golf’s big names, some of the guys that are down the board a little bit have excellent prices and that is the area in which Brian focused. Furthermore, that is the area in which the guys focused on <a href="http://bangthebook.com/nhl-genesis-invitational-and-daytona-500-picks-tips-betting-the-board-with-brian-blessing-february-11-2020/680625/"><strong>our Tuesday edition of BangTheBook Radio</strong></a>, so make sure that you check that out for more analysis on this tournament.

As far as Brian’s video preview of the 2020 Genesis Invitational, he talked about some of the outrights that he likes and the reasons why. This is a course that fits a certain type of player and there are a lot of guys that have had a whole lot of recent success here that are also in good form.

Form, course experience and success, and a strong knowledge of golf betting and the players make this video preview from Mr. Blessing one of the best for this event.
