FAQ
What Line Matching is, what a membership gets you, and how the numbers are worked out.
Getting started
What is Line Matching?
A site for NHL line matchups, projections, betting and daily fantasy. The concept is looking for edges players & lines can get by who their TOI is expected to be played against.
Every game day it pulls each team's lines and starting goalies, works out a projection for every skater and goalie on the slate, puts those projections up against the posted betting lines, and builds DraftKings lineups off them. There's a members' chat alongside it.
Do I need an account to see anything?
You can see a demo page from the preseason that shows the Line Matching main page, the projections, the ranks, the lines, the optimizer and the betting page. The optimizer on it actually runs.
Everything else is behind a membership: tonight's lines, the projections, ranks, the betting page, the optimizer and the chat.

Membership and billing
What does it cost?
Two plans. Monthly is $60 a month through Patreon, cancel whenever you like. Annual is $300 for the year by PayPal, and covers the regular season plus the first round of the playoffs.
Until October 10 there's 15% off the monthly plan, which brings it to $51 for as long as you stay subscribed.
How do I pay?
Monthly goes through Patreon, since that's what handles recurring billing. Annual is PayPal, because there's no recurring charge behind a one-off yearly payment.
Paying happens entirely off this site. Nothing here ever asks for card details, which is why signing up makes a locked account rather than a paid one.
I've paid, how long until my account works?
I switch accounts on by hand once the payment lands, usually within six hours. You can sign in before then, and you'll get a page saying the account is waiting on the payment. Leave that page open and it will let you in on its own the moment it's switched on.
If it's been longer than six hours, get in touch and I'll sort it out.
Can I cancel?
Cancel the monthly plan from Patreon whenever you like. You keep access to the end of the period you've paid for. The annual plan is a single payment for the season rather than a subscription, so there's nothing to cancel.
Is any of this betting advice?
No. It's all the output of a model built from public data, published so you can read it next to your own view. It isn't advice, it comes with no guarantee, and an edge the model shows can just as easily be the model being wrong.
