How To Bet HOCKEY

  • HOW TO BET HOCKEY

    TEAM LINE MONEY LINE
    Coyotes +1 ½ +130
    Kings +1 ½ +150

    In this example, the Kings are favored by 1 ½goals. The Kings must win the game by at least two goals to be a winner for betting purposes. If selecting the Coyotes, you win the bet if (1) they win the game outright; (2) the game ends in a tie; or (3) the Kings win the game by exactly one goal.

    The numbers to the far right are the Money Line. Please note that the Money Line in this example is not an alternative way of betting the game. Rather, it is used in combination with the spread. However, in hockey, straight Money Line win wagers may also be available, without a point spread.

    In the example above, the odds that the Kings will win the game by two or more goals is -150. As in baseball, you must wager $15 for each $10 you hope to win (a $25 payback).

    The odds on the Coyotes are +130. So long as the Coyotes do not lose the game by two goals or more, you would win your bet at odds of 13/10. A $10 bet would win $13 (a $23 payback).

    TOTAL
    Coyotes 6 -150 (over)
    Kings 6 +130 (under)

    OVER/UNDER wagers are normally available in hockey. The rules are similar to that of baseball. In this example, betting on over (6 goals) you would lay $15 to win$10 (a $25 payback) conversely, betting on under (6 goals), a $10 bet wins $13 (a payback of $23).

  • PARLAYS

    In hockey, you may parlay 2-8 teams. Parlay winnings are a product of the odds on each team you select. Hockey parlays are calculated the same as baseball parlays.
