If you’re a hockey fan then there’s no chance you can miss out on the NHL season. Here’s what you, the members of our Canadian betting community, had to say about your favourite bets to place on the NHL.
Money Line
Easily the most popular hockey bet. It couldn’t be easier, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player. A standard 2-way money line bet gives you two options. Back one team or the other to win, it’s as easy as that. Whether they win in regulation time, overtime or at the last gasp in a penalty shoot out doesn’t matter. A win is a win.
If you’re new to hockey betting make sure you know the difference between a 2-way money line and a 3-way money line. The big difference between the two types of bet is that a 3-way money line allows you to bet on a tie game, whereas a 2-way money line only gives you the option to bet on either team to win the game.
Puck Line
Placing a puck line bet gives a game where there’s a clear favourite an added edge. If you’re looking to find value in a match then placing a puck line bet will give the underdog a 1.5 goal handicap advantage, making it far more profitable than a standard money line bet.
Futures Bets
Fancy a more long term bet? Then futures bets are where you need to be looking. While it’s possible to place a bet on single games, you can also wager on who you think will win the Stanley Cup, or even who will win each division. If you’re looking for action that will last the season long then futures bets are where it’s at.
