| We love hockey as much as you do, and
we feel that it is high time a sportsbook devoted itself
to the coolest sport on the planet!
Betting on ice hockey and the NHL online may seem a bit
confusing at first with its terminology differing somewhat
from that of other sports wagering - Canadian Lines, Puck
Lines, Money Lines, Totals, etc.
Moneyline Wagering is simply wagering on the contest based
on a given price rather than a pointspread. The team wagered
on simply has to win the game.
Puck Line Wagering is simply wagering on the contest based
on a pointspread and a moneyline combined. The team wagered
on must win by the pointspread.
Moneyline Wager
Example
The posted moneyline on a hockey game reads:
New Jersey Devils -155 at
Dallas Stars +135
A player could choose one of two moneyline wagers on this
matchup:
Devils -155
If the Devils win then the player laid $155.00 to win $100.00
Stars +135
If the Stars win then the player who bet $100.00 wins $135.00
Puck Line Wager
Example
The posted line on a hockey game reads:
New Jersey Devils -1 1/2 +130 at
Dallas Stars +1 1/2 -150
Matchup
A player could choose one of two Puck Line Wagers on this
Devils -1 1/2 +130
If the Devils win by 2 goals or more, then the player who
bet $100.00 wins $130.00
Stars +1 1/2 -150
If the Stars win the game, or lose by only one goal, then
the player laid $150.00 to win $100.00
Total (Over/Under) Wagers
On an over/under wager, the total goals of the game by both
teams, extra innings included, must fall over or under the
side selected.
Totals Wager
Example
The posted total on a hockey game is: 4 1/2
Under -125
Over +105
A player could choose one of two Total (over/under) wagers
on this matchup:
Over 4 1/2 +105
If the total goals of both teams combined are more than
4 1/2, then the player bet $100.00 to win $105.00
Under 4 1/2 -125
If the total goals of both teams combined are less than
4 1/2, then the player who laid $125.00 wins $100.
