How To Bet On Ice Hockey
Puckline betting is ice hockey’s version of the runline in baseball. In this case, bookmakers will give one team a 1.5 goal handicap much like they give one club a 1.5 run handicap with baseball runlines.

You will often see it listed by your preferred bookmaker in the following way:

New York Rangers -1.5 2.90
Chicago Blackhawks +1.5 1.40
Much like baseball betting however, the puckline is not as popular as straight up moneyline betting (head to head without any handicap). One of the reasons is that it is a difficult form of betting to succeed at. A team’s potential against the moneyline is much easier to frame as scoring events and margins in such a low scoring sport can tend to be more random than other sports.

Betting on the total number of goals scored in a game is a very popular type of ice hockey betting. Typically the number of goals scored in a NHL games varies between 5 and 7.

So how can you win betting on goal totals in ice hockey? The first thing you should do is to not give to much consideration to a team’s goal averages. Averages can often give a distorted picture. What you should rather do is keep track of goal total occurrences. For example, games that featured the Los Angeles Kings might have had an average of 5 goals scored over their last 20 games. But what if two of those games only saw a single goal scored? The average of 5 goals is going to be distorted by these two very low scoring games.

Even though I’ve done a video on this before, I still get requests to explain it. I have a detailed video here on the ice, but I thought it would be fun to update the video and add some more possibilities.

In the video below I show ways to pick the puck up from the ice. There are even more possibilities than the ones I show (you can use the knob!) but these 5 should keep you busy when you want to play around a little.

Every shot in hockey is not just one motion, but a combination of many subtle movements. Every part of your body is working together to generate power, accuracy, lift and control of the puck. If one part of your shot is lacking, or incomplete this will result in less power and accuracy.
