3 Ways To Bet On The NHL Before The Season Starts

To assist all types of hockey fans who are interested in placing a wager on the best sportsbooks, we have put together this quick guide to NHL betting. This page is for you if you want to add a little extra to the mix when you sit down to watch the game later, or if you simply want to put the insane amount of hockey knowledge you've accumulated over the years to the test.

Although there are various methods to wager on an NHL game, the moneyline, spreads (sometimes known as puck lines), and over/under lines (total goals) are probably the most common options.

Here's where things start to get pretty fascinating! A parlay bet is a single wager that includes two or more selections; for the bet to win, all selections must win. The odds are multiplied by the number of selections in the parlay.

Consider that you had the Bruins at -335 to defeat the Senators, the Kings at +116 to defeat the Canadiens, and the Oilers at -196 to defeat the Red Wings. You would win $9.84 if you placed three $5 wagers on those three events. However, if you combine them into a three-leg parlay with the same total bet of $15, you may expect to make $48.54 in profit!

Moneyline, spreads, and total goals are common wagers to include in NHL parlays; many online sportsbooks let you combine a variety of wagers into a single parlay.

If you're knowledgeable and confident in your picks, using parlays can dramatically increase your returns. Similarly, parlays are a terrific technique to get oneself interested in several games if you're neutral.

Player props are markets where you can bet on a player's individual performance as opposed to a team outcome (as in all of the betting line examples above).

Want to see Draisaitl score multiple goals? Put money on the over/under 1.5 goals for the Draisaitl market. Do you think Panarin will pick up a few assists tonight? Additionally, there are many online bookmakers that accept bets on their own display.

Futures are substantially longer-term wagers that frequently have a season or longer to run their course. These are betting on season outcomes as a whole rather than specific games.

While the season is still young (or perhaps before it starts), you can place bets on clubs to, for example, win their conference or division, make the playoffs, or win the Stanley Cup.

There are markets open on season accolades like the Hart Memorial Trophy and the Vezina Trophy, and several sportsbooks also offer player and coach futures.
