In this article, we are going to touch base on some of the most action-packed hockey markets which you can find at the best Bitcoin sportsbook.
What is Hockey?In its nature, hockey is super basic! Whoever scores the most goals, wins the games. Rules state that players are not allowed to use any parts of their body to direct the puck. A regular hockey game lasts for three 20-minute-long periods with short breaks in between. If the match is tied at the end of regulation, the game continues in overtime until the first score. The game is played between two teams of five players, consisting of 1 goaltender, 2 defencemen, and 3 forwards. At Betcoin's Bitcoin sportsbook, you get to place predictions on all of the major ice hockey games in the world!
How To Bet on Hockey for BitcoinToday we are teaching you how to bet on hockey for Bitcoin. Below we have listed some of the biggest hockey markets and explained how to read them. Continue following this article to learn more about how to bet on hockey for Bitcoin.
Hockey 3-Way Moneyline Betting for BitcoinLet's begin with the main ice hockey line, which is a 3-way Moneyline betting for Bitcoin. Anyone who has read our other how to's should already know that Moneyline is a betting market which opens up wagering options on the match winner. Since ice hockey games can finish in a tie, 3-way moneyline is one of the most popular markets there is. In a 3-way Moneyline, bettors get three possible outcomes to predict, either one of the teams to win or the match to end in a regulation tie. Pick it right, and you will win your bet multiplied by the odds given at the time of your wager. Pick it wrong, and you forfeit your bet. Even though hockey 3-way moneyline betting for Bitcoin is quite self-explanatory, we believe that a little example will not hurt!
Example:
Voiny Suomi (2.12 / +112) vs. x-tie (5.04 / +404) vs. Gladiator (2.32/ +132)
Score: Voiny Suomi 2 - 3 Gladiator
With there being three possible outcomes, odds are quite sweet on all of the options, but only one of the selections wins. In this example, Gladiators beat Voiny Suomi by 1 goal. With the pre-game odds on them given 2.32 or +132, every 10 chip wagered returned 23.2 chips. Betting on the remaining two possibilities resulted in a loss of the wager.
Keep in mind that we also offer 2-way Moneyline (OT included) markets, which narrow down the possible outcomes to two, giving you lesser odds but also lesser risk by removing the tie option out of the play.
Hockey Goal Spread Betting for BitcoinTo continue this how to bet on hockey at Betcoin's Bitcoin sportsbook, we are going to look at handicapping! Handicapping or spread betting is a popular choice for regular bettors of all sports, and ice hockey is no different. Hockey goal spread betting for Bitcoin brings you added or deducted goals for competing teams. Regular goal spreads take off points from favorites, and add the same to the underdogs, whereas alternative markets do the same in reverse. Handicapping is oddsmakers way of evening out the playing field, and the odds!
Example:
Boston Bruins -1.5 (+150/2.5) vs. Toronto Maple Leafs +1.5 (1.70/-130)
Score: Bruins 6 – 2 Toronto Maple Leafs
In this example, Bruins beat Toronto by 4 goals, giving them up to -3.5 spread in the bank, so in this case, all bets on -1.5 returned 2.5 times the initial bet (10 chips wagered returned 25 chips).
To know whether your selection won, you take the spread and either deduct or add it to the total. So 6 goals minus 1.5 = 4.5 goals vs. 2 on Toronto. Since the spread still covered by 2.5 goals, you win! Now, if you had bet +1.5 Toronto, this game score would be Bruins 6 – 3.5 Toronto, leaving them still short of beating Boston.
Hockey Over or Under TotalsThis how to bet on hockey article continues describing totals betting. Hockey over or under totals betting for Bitcoin opens up ways for you to predict match totals, but don't worry, you don't have to get the exact score right, only whether the total will remain under or go over the given amount of goals. Typically, in our Bitcoin sportsbook, you will find at least 3 or more different totals for each match, with all of them giving you odds based on the probability of the outcome to land, you are always looking at a fair betting price.
Example:
Nashville Predators vs. Arizona Coyotes o4.5 (-110/ 1.90) vs. u4.5 (-110/ 1.90)
Score: Predators 4 – 3 Coyotes
Total: 7 goals
In this example, Predators and Coyotes combined a total of 7 goals, meaning that all bets on the over 4.5 are settled as winners. As the odds show, both selections would have paid out a 1.90x multiplier, returning 19 chips on every 10 chips wagered, with 9 chips profit in the bank! For under bets to win, the match had to remain at 4 goals or less, since that did not happen, those bets are lost.
Hockey Period BettingAll of the above markets could also be played based on periods. When you are placing hockey period wagers on totals, moneylines, spreads or anything else, your selection must hit by the end of a 20-minute period. If that happens, you win, if not, you lose! When you are playing at Betcoin's Bitcoin sportsbook, you can get the most out of our lightning-fast grading by placing bets on all periods. We will grade the markets as soon as the results are determined!
