Betting on the ‘money line’ is the most common type of ice hockey bet. This is where you are betting on a team to simply win the game. The team deemed by the bookmaker to be the favorite will have a minus sign beside their odds, e.g., -4.5, with their opponent, the underdog, having a plus sign beside their odds, e.g., +5.5.
This bet focuses on how many goals a team is expected to win or lose a game by. The standard form for this bet is on +1.5 goals, or -1.5 goals. The team judged to be the favorite will be advertised as having a -1.5-goal advantage, with their opponent given a +1.5-goal advantage. Therefore, the favorite must win by at least two clear goals for the bet to win.
Prop betting is short for ‘proposition’ betting and focuses on a possible outcome, not related to the overall final result of the game. For example, popular prop bets in ice hockey include the number of goals a player might score. If you predict a player to score 2 goals and they do, even if they end up on the losing side, your bet will still win.
Spread betting in ice hockey relates to betting on a ‘spread’ or an outcome of something that might happen in a game. For example, the spread on Total Goals could be 4.7-5.2. If you think the game will have more than 5.2 goals, you should buy the bet. If you think the game will have less than 4.7 goals, you should sell the bet. The profit or loss will depend on the difference between the buy or sell level, and the final outcome, multiplied by your wager.
A ‘Total’ bet focuses on how many goals will be scored in a game and placed as either ‘Over’ or ‘Under’ a specific number of goals. For example, you can place a wager for a game to have Over 4.5 goals, in which case at least 5 would need to be scored for a winning bet. Or you can wager on there being Under 4.5 goals, so you want there to be 4 or less goals scored.
This type of bet needs to have several outcomes predicted correctly for it to be a winning bet. Each selection within a parlay, also known as a leg, must be predicted accurately to win, but if one leg loses, the entire wager is lost. The more legs in your parlay the bigger the odds will be, but it is a higher risk bet due to needing all the predictions to be successful.
Future bets are when you wager on something to happen in the future, such as a team winning their championship, or a player being named MVP for that season.
This is when a line is only 10 points, or ‘cents’ difference. For example, a line that is -140 and +130 is considered a ‘dime line’.
The ‘edge’ is the advantage you think you have on a specific bet. For example, a bet that you think has a 75% chance of winning, but the odds are set at 50/50, means you have a 25% edge.
Double chance bets focus on the three outcomes of a match where you can pick two of the ones you think most likely to happen. For example:
Bet 1: Home team wins/tied after 60 mins
Bet 2: Away team wins/tied after 60 mins
This is an exciting bet that focuses on the ‘Total’ (over/under) number of goals that are scored in all the games that are played on the same night.

Betting lines work when a bookmaker will set the odds and determine who the favourite is and who the underdog is in a match. This creates a margin, also known as the line, between the two teams.
To bet on a hockey game, the simplest way is to place a money line bet where you are picking who you think will win a game between two teams. Odds set by the bookmaker, will determine who is the favorite and who is the underdog. From those odds, you will be able to see how much stake you need to wager to win, for example, $10.
This is like a money line bet, as you are still making a prediction on who will win the game. However, a 60-minute line bet focuses only on the score at the end of the three regulation periods. So, if a team wins in overtime or via a shootout, this won’t count in your 60-minute line bet.
Spread betting relates to betting on a ‘spread’ or an outcome of something that might happen in a game. For example, the spread on Total Goals could be 4.9-5.3. If you think the game will have more than 5.3 goals, you should buy the bet. If you think the game will have less than 4.9 goals, you should sell the bet. The profit or loss is dependent on the difference between the buy or sell value, and the final outcome, which is then multiplied by your stake.
SU means ‘straight-up’ and relates to whether a team has won the game regardless to the point spread offered.
Generally, yes, if you have placed a money line bet, unless otherwise stated. Shootouts also count for certain bets, but it is best to check the T&C’s. However, if you have placed a 60-minute line bet, only the score at the end of regulation time will count towards whether your bet has been successful or not.
In hockey, the team who the bookmaker thinks is the favourite will always be indicated by a minus sign beside their odds, e.g. -3.5, whilst the least favoured team, the underdog, will have a plus sign beside their odds, e.g. +4.5.
