How to bet on European hockey?

Question

I am a big fan of European hockey matches and plan to bet on European hockey. Can you help me know, how I can place a bet on European hockey matches?

Answer 1

European hockey betting is similar to wagering on the National Hockey League, in that it uses the money line, but there is one major difference. When you bet on a European hockey match, not only can you place a bet on either team, you can also wager that it will be a tie game. Since you can wager on a tie, that means if you bet on a soccer team that team must win the game or you lose your bet. In this regard betting on European hockey is virtually identical to wagering on soccer.

Examples of European Hockey Lines
The typical odds on a European hockey game may look like this:

AK Bars Kazan - 118
Draw + 330
Locomotive Yaroslavl + 180

In this example, if a bettor wagers on AK Bars Kazan, they will risk $11.80 to win $10, while those backing Locomotive Yaroslavl stand to win $18 for every $10 wagered if their team comes through and gets the win. Bettors also have the option of betting the game will be played to a draw and those bettors will risk $10 for the opportunity to win $33. Remember, as you can wager on a tie, your team must win the match or you will lose your bet.

The odds on another hockey game may look like:

Djurgardens IF + 135
Draw + 330
HV 71 + 110

In this example, both teams are underdogs because of the possibility of a tie game, something that cannot happen in the National Hockey League.

There is plenty of information about European hockey teams and players online and the quality of play in European hockey is generally very good, with a number of former NHL players playing in various leagues, so a bettor should not be afraid to make a wager if they believe they have an edge.
