Ice Hockey Betting, Odds And Lines

There are numerous options to consider at Guts, to enjoy the IIHF odds and the AHL betting. Every betting line has unique characteristics. See how they function:

Moneyline

Hockey Moneyline wagers are the simplest to place because participants simply pick the side they think will win. As an underdog, the NHL betting odds will have a positive value (+), while the favourite team will have a negative (-) value before its Moneyline. Enjoy lucrative payouts with this betting option.

Puck Line

Like the NFL ( insert a link to the NFL page), the puck line is similar to the point spread in basketball. It assigns a specific amount of goals to each team as a handicap when comparing them. The most typical puck line for NHL betting is 1.5 goals. This is due to the low-scoring and frequently close games. A team must score two or more goals to surpass the puck line as the favourite (-1.5). However, underdogs must win by more than two goals or lose by fewer than two goals for puck line Hockey bets. (+1.5).

Over/Under

Over/under betting involves making predictions about the final overall score of a game. Oddsmakers estimate the number of goals to be scored. Bettors must place a stake on whether the final score will be over/under. Goal totals do not fluctuate as much as basketball or football Over/Unders because hockey is a low-scoring sport.

Prop Bets

NHL prop bets let you place a bet on specific game factors unrelated to the outcome. A wide range of player props are available to punters, including goals, assists, points, power-play points, shots, hits, saves, and shutouts.

For instance, the 0.5 goal total set for Auston Matthews pays -120 for the Over and +100 for the Under. If you place a wager on the Over, you win your bet, and he scores. You will lose your Over 0.5 goal wager if he fails to score during the game.

Live Betting

Sometimes you forget to place your bets or wish to wait until the game starts before you bet. At Guts sportsbook, there is an in-game betting option for Hockey betting Canada. After the game has begun, bettors can still place wagers live. Also, they may find alternative wagering options like grand salami, 60minutes lines, and parlays appealing. But the most important thing is that you have a solid betting strategy.
