  1. Hockey Betting Rules

    The NHL or National Hockey League's season runs from October until early June, when the eventual Champions of the NHL are awarded the Stanley Cup. The puckline is the most popular form of hockey bet, which is itself hockey’s version of pointspread betting. Hockey betting also offers the "Grand Salami" Bet, a totals bet where players bet on the total number of goals scored on that particular day. NHL games must go to the second period to be considered "action". To understand puckline betting, consider the example below:
    Philadelphia Flyers

    +1.5

    -240
    Toronto Maple Leafs

    -1.5

    +195

    In the example above, Philadelphia is the underdog, as indicated by the plus (+) sign in the puckline. These figures mean that anyone betting on Philadelphia wins if Philadelphia either wins or doesn't lose to Toronto by more than 1.5 goals. The second number, -240, is the price – this means that if Philadelphia wins or doesn't lose by more than 1.5 goals the bettor wins $100 for every $240 wagered. In the second line Toronto must win by more than 1.5 goals for the bet to win. In this event, the bettor wins $195 for every $100 wagered.
    Hockey & NHL Betting & Rules

    At Sportbet.com, all NHL lines are posted the day of the scheduled event. You can bet on the 1 st Period or the full game. In both cases, you can choose a team to win or bet on the total score.

    Hockey Line Example:
    Team

    Spread

    Total
    Chicago Blackhawks

    -135

    4 1/2
    Los Angeles Kings

    +115
      
    Straight Hockey Bets
    When wagering on CHICAGO, Chicago must win the game for you to win your wager. When wagering on LOS ANGELES, Los Angeles must win to win the bet.

    If the game goes to a shootout, the winning team of the shootout will have an extra goal added to their total.

    For Example: Using the teams above, should the game be tied 2-2 at the end of regulation, and then at the end of Overtime, the game will go to a shootout. If Los Angeles wins the shootout, the final score is 3-2, Los Angeles is the winner.

    When betting on the total score of a game, you must take the OVER or the UNDER. Regardless of the outcome, the combined score of the two teams will determine if you win or lose your bet. Remember, overtime will always counttowards the bet. In the case of a shootout, the team winning the shootout will have an extra goal added to their total. Using the above example, the total score would be 5, and the OVER would be the winning bet.

    IN THE EVENT OF A POSTPONED OR SUSPENDED GAME, ALL HOCKEY GAMES ARE CONSIDERED FINAL AFTER 55 MINUTES OF PLAY
    Hockey Future Bets
    Future bets, such as; to win any championship or any division, are graded as soon as the season or tournament is over.
    Hockey Parlay Bets
    Over the internet, you can parlay up to 8 hockey teams. Each parlay has a specific payout:

    Note: Maximum Hockey Parlay Bet Payout is $75,000

    Any payout that exceeds these limits, will not be honored, and will be limited to the specs listed above. Note: Any duplication of a particular bet, if it exceeds the maximum payout, the wager is not honored.

    Hockey Player vs. Player Game Match-Ups:
    Both players must play in order to have action. All props will be graded 2-4 hours after the event is completed.
