Types Of NHL Betting
There are countless ways in which you can bet on an NHL 💯 game, from the winner of the match to very specific player stats. Check out some of the more popular types 💯 of NHL betting markets below.
Money Line Betting
Money Line Betting is the simplest way in which you can bet on an 💯 NHL game. A bet on the Money Line is simply a bet on which team will win the match. With 💯 no option of a game ending in a tie (overtime and shootouts played) in the NHL, then there are simply 💯 two different outcomes in an NHL Money Line market, Team A to win or Team B to win. That also 💯 means your bet will either win or lose, with no pushes or ties possible.
Spread Betting – Puck Line Betting
NHL Spread 💯 betting is known as the Puck Line when dealing with NHL-specific betting markets. It is most similar to the MLB 💯 run line, where the favorite will be given typically a – 1.5 puck line and the underdog a +1.5 puck 💯 line, with the odds, rather than the lines changing as they do in the NFL or NBA. Here you are 💯 betting on either the favorite to win by 2 or more goals, or for the underdog to win, or to 💯 lose by 1 goal. The Puck lines can change from game to game, with some being +/- 0.5 goals and 💯 others +/- 2.5 goals, depending on how favored one team is over the other. The puck line will always have 💯 a .5 on the end to stop there from being a tie or a push. One side will always cover 💯 and the other will lose.
Over/Under Betting – Totals Betting
NHL Over/Under betting, colloquially known as the NHL Totals markets, is a 💯 bet on the total number of goals scored, combining the two teams’ goal tallies, in a given game. The line 💯 will be set by the sportsbooks and will typically range anywhere from Over/Under 4.5 goals right up to over under 💯 8.5 goals. Of course, there are cases where the line can fall out of these parameters, as each game and 💯 the expected number of goals will be different. If you bet the overs on a 5.5 goal line, you need 💯 there to be 6 total goals scored to win, if you bet the under on the same line, 5 or 💯 fewer goals in the match will see you cash your ticket. The NHL Over/Under market is a great way to 💯 bet on a game if you don’t like either side of the spread or money line, or if you see 💯 a high/low-scoring game on the cards.
Player Prop Bets
Player Prop Bets are a type of bet in which you are betting 💯 on the proposition of an occurrence or non-occurrence of a specific player-based stat or performance. As with most sports, points 💯 and goals largely shape a player’s performance so you can bet on either of these in the NHL, as well 💯 as things like assists, shots, or even saves from a goaltender. There are countless ways to get involved in an 💯 NHL match with Player Prop Bets. Check out some of our favorites from tonight’s games on our NHL Prop Bets 💯 page.
Team Prop Bets
Much like NHL Player Prop Bets, NHL Team Prop Bets are a type of bet in which you 💯 are betting on the proposition of an occurrence or non-occurrence of a specific event. With NHL team prop bets you 💯 are betting on one team or another, rather than the performance of both teams, such as the spread, points total 💯 or money line. One perfect example of this would be the Team Points Total markets, here you’re betting on an 💯 over-under points total for one team. This added flexibility allows you to bet on one team if you like them, 💯 but are unsure on the spread, or unsure if the opposition team will score enough points to take the over. 💯 Other examples could be the Team To Score First, First Team To 20 Points, or a team to Win The 💯 First Quarter.
Live Betting
NHL games are fast-paced and exciting with the possibility of a goal or a penalty at any second, 💯 the game can flip on its head in an instant. With that in mind, NHL Live Betting is an exciting 💯 proposition. NHL Live betting is a bet on a game once it has started. With odds and lines updating in 💯 real-time whilst the action unfolds on the ice, you can bet on the game right up until the dying seconds. 💯 While you won’t see as extensive a range of markets as you would pregame, all of the top markets such 💯 as money line, spreads, totals, and a selection of prop bets will be available.
Futures Betting
NHL Futures Betting, as the name 💯 would suggest is a bet on a future NHL outcome such as the Stanley Cup Championship, To Win A Division, 💯 To Win A Conference, or select NHL Player Futures such as the Hart Memorial Trophy winner awarded to the MVP 💯 of the league. You can usually bet on these markets well ahead of time, from before the season begins, right 💯 through until the end of the season, or the end of the regular season for specific markets.
