Introduction to Hockey Wagering
A timeless classic, the game of hockey is always fought to the finish. With most games being tightly contested, it can be tricky and difficult to pick a clear winner.
But the lucky prediction can turn into a great advantage with the numerous betting options Viva Macau Sportsbook can offer you. Betting on hockey has become very popular and now you have the opportunity get in on the action at Viva Macau Sportsbook!
Hockey games are always fast-paced and the tides can change for a team at any moment in a game. Nothing beats the rush you experience when you choose the right team to win these tightly contested games. If you're new to betting on the sport, then this is the best place to start learning more about the exciting competition hockey brings to the table.
Hockey fans will be pleased by the variety of sports betting options available. The most popular leave alone taken are Moneylines, Puck Lines and Totals. Throughout the regular season, wagers are offered daily on all NHL games. Futures and Propositions wagers create even more ways to win and to help meet and even increase your wagering options, Viva Macau Sportsbook allow you to combine many hockey lines in combinations, such as Parlays, If Wagers and Reverses.
If a match is ever suspended or cancelled, the bets will only be valid if the game is resumed in 12 hours.
All sports betting at Viva Macau Sportsbook is governed by Viva Macau's Sportsbook Rules. These Rules provide specific information about the terms of settlement of Hockey wagers you place on our site. In order to fully understand the rules, you should read them over before you place any wagers.
Straight Wagers
A typical hockey Futures market would be a wager on which team will win a conference championship or take home the Stanley Cup. Despite the fact that the actual championship is awarded late in the season, Futures are usually offered long before the season even begins. Typically, the earlier you take the action the better your payout will be. Futures will remain up until the event is decided, but we take them down on Mondays to adjust the odds.
Throughout the NHL season, Moneyline, Puck Line and Totals markets will be posted the night before the game. Puck Line wagers are the best option for those who follow the NHL season on a regular basis. By knowing the strengths and weaknesses of each team, individuals can sometimes easily predict the outcome of games. With a Puck Line wager, there is typically no draw option because the spread is set in increments of 1/2 of a point. So, even if the teams tie, the wager will always be graded a win or loss. When wagering Puck Lines, the results will include overtime and penalty shootouts.
Moneyline markets are straight wagers made on the unadjusted score of the event. An individual should take Moneyline action when they are fairly certain that a specific team will win. Taking an underdog on the Moneyline can improve your return on investment, when compared with a Puck Line on the same event.
The Totals market is a bet that the combined final score of both teams will either be higher (Over) or lower (Under) than the score that is listed. The terms of settlement operate similar to a Moneyline market in that overtime and penalty shootouts results are included when grading the wager. If the combined scores of both teams equal the Totals line, then the wager is graded as a "Push" and your account will be credited accordingly.
Exotic Singles
Propositions create endless betting options on hockey games. Those involving "Firsts", such as which player will score the first goal or get the first penalty in the game, will be graded as they happen, any other proposition will have the same rules as Puck Lines and Totals.
For "Lasts" any player that participates in the game will be considered a runner.
Grand Salami markets are ideal for the hockey enthusiast. This type of wager allows an individual to place a wager on the total number of goals to be scored in all hockey games taking place on any day. Individuals can choose whether the total number of goals will be over or under the quoted number.
Combination Wagers
Some punters like to include straight hockey wagers in combinations. There are some cases where you are not allowed to include certain types of hockey bets on the same ticket. Propositions and Futures are never permitted to be included in a combination in any sport.
Hockey also has a special rule whereby you are not permitted to combine a favourite side bet with an over wager or an underdog side bet with an under wager.
Outside of those exceptions, you can combine these markets onto a single ticket to significantly increase your payout by linking together the outcome of several events. One popular combination is a Parlay, which is a collection of two or more straight bets where each component must win in order for the wager to be claimed as a win.
Aside from Parlays, If Wagers and Reverse Wagers can also be useful betting tools. An IF Wager allows an individual to take action on a second game (or more) and risk only the amount of their original wager. Reverse Wagers are a combination of IF Wagers where one goes forward and the other in reverse.
With endless options, hockey betting can be extremely entertaining. Check Viva Macau Sportsbook Lines now. We've got your ticket.
