Hockey became one of the leading sports in the gambling industry. Just like baseball and basketball, hockey is becoming very popular as a Buster’s game. In the United States, the most known way to play the game is through fantasy leagues. Regardless of the fact that it is real, the objective of the game is to make the team “Cappers” or ” Guides” to win the game.
There are two different forms of wagering in hockey, broadly speaking: The money line and the puck line. Money line is the most familiar and easily understood. It is one of the forms of betting where odds are fixed and boycott is available if either team wins. The money line is illustrated as follows:
Los Angeles Kings +1.00 Washington Capitals -1.00
This means that if you placed $100 on the Kings, you will get $200. If you placed it on the Capitals, you will get $100. So, you have to win $200 in order to win $100. This is great way to bet because no matter which team wins, you still win. The other form of betting is versus betting. This is the other very familiar sports betting option. You are choosing one team against another team.
Betting Against The Road Trip
What this means is that you are betting the game will not be close. That may mean no team is willing to lose the game. It may even be skip town as the players will be a bit tired after a long journey. Once again, betting is generally no different than betting on a favorite. The only exception here is that you are betting the other team to lose, thus the term “Dewacasino“.
Betting On The Home Team
Even though they don’t win, teams playing on home ice have a better chance of winning the bet. This is because they are used to playing on the home ice and it is very familiar to them. The other thing about using the home team is that it is more physically and mentally demanding on the players. Still, the home team has the advantage. If the teams are of equal skill level and ability, then the advantage goes to the team who is playing their home games in the safer environment. In addition, the fewer points the home team has, the better. The home team may not be as strong as the visiting team, but they start the game with a lead on the opponent.
Betting On The Steal
If you see a consistent pattern of upsets in the NHL, you can assume that someone has discovered a way to bet on the away team and the home team combined. When you see this pattern happen again, you can double and triple your money. The method to do this is by wagering opposing teams against each other. Note that you have to bet $150 to win $100, just like in the Casino business. Do not get confused with the other games; the Banker’s Handicapping will not appear in any other gaming option. When you bet on the away team, you win $150 and get to keep the $100 on the home team. When you bet the home team, you win $100 and have to pay the $100 to the betting opponent. So, at least you are covered for a $100 loss on the betting side.
Puck Line
In hockey, the money line is used instead of the puck line. The money line is different than the puck line in that you do not have to pick a team to win. All you have to do is make a wager on the money line. Unlike the puck line, the money line is not colored by theosen of the team, just that the team is favored.
So, unlike the other betting options, the money line is the simplest to learn and understand. All you have to do to win a wager on the money line is bet on the money line.
