Top 5 Handicappers Keep a Steady 64% Win Rate in NHL Week 10
Slow and steady, our top handicappers held strong with a consistent win rate last week, matching the previous week’s performance.  In a slow week for betting, a few handicappers managed to make good profit.

Dionne D’Amico is one of the latter, placing conservative wagers that are well-researched.  I’m particularly impressed with her spread on the Capitals. She scraped by with half a point leeway to win $140.  Since the start of the season this year, D’Amico’s only placed a few wagers each week.
