FAQs about Hockey Betting Odds
Does Overtime Count in Hockey Betting?
Typically, overtime will count within the Moneyline market for hockey betting. However, there may be a specific market which says "Moneyline (Including Overtime)" or something similar, which would suggest that the general market doesn't include it. Make sure to check the terms and conditions, chat with the specific bookmaker you are using, or take a look at the markets and their information to confirm before you place your bets.
What are Points in Hockey Betting?
It will be dependent on whether you are interested in the team or player betting for points, because they both differ. If you are focused on a team and the over/under market, points refer to goals only. However, players can earn a point for a goal, plus a primary or secondary assist too, which is important to know if you are betting on the player props markets.
What is Puck Line in Hockey Betting?
The puck line in hockey betting is the sport's version of the point spread, meaning if you are betting on a team on the puck line then they will be required to win by a certain amount of points, or lose within a margin. For example, if the puck line for the Boston Bruins was -2.5 and the score was 5-2, meaning they won by three goals, your bet would be a winner.
