Betting on Ice Hockey


There are hundreds of different ways to bet on a ice hockey match. Keep in mind that most markets are paid at the end of 60 minutes and exclude extra time.

Here are some of the most common types of ice hockey betting markets: 

60 Minute 3 Way Match Odds: In every game of ice hockey there are three possible outcomes after 60 minutes or regular time. Predict which team you think will win, or bet on a draw.

Moneyline: Select which team you think will win including extra time.

60 Minute Total Goals Over/Under: Predict how many goals will be scored by both teams combined. 

60 Minute Handicap: If you think one team is far too good for their opponent, a good way to find value is the handicap market. If you select a team with a -1 handicap, they need to win by more than one goal, such as 2-0, 3-1 etc.

Double Chance: Select a team to win or draw after 60 minutes.

60 Minute Draw No Bet: Pick a team to win and if the game ends in a draw, get your stake back.

Will There Be Overtime?: Select if the game will be tied after 60 minutes and overtime is required.

First Goalscorer: Predict which player will score the first goal of the game.

Anytime Goalscorer: Less risk than the first goalscorer bet, choose any player to score a goal anytime in the game.

Correct Score: Predict the final score of any ice hockey game.

Half Time/Full Time (HT/FT): Predict a team to be winning the game at half time and full time. Alternatively, select a team to be losing at half time and winning at full time.
