Q: How does NHL betting work?

NHL betting is generally quite straightforward. The key is to understand and research the market that you are looking to bet on. The Moneyline and Total Goals markets are probably the easiest for new bettors to understand. It is worth bearing in mind that most markets do include overtime, unless specifically stated otherwise.

Q: How to bet on NHL games?

All betting sites have a layout that lists that day’s NHL games in an easy-to-understand fashion. You can then choose to place a single bet, or you can opt to create a parlay bet by combining multiple unrelated bets into one bet. In a parlay bet, all your selections must win, in order for your bet to win.

Q: What is moneyline in NHL betting?

Moneyline betting in the NHL is betting on the team you think will win. Teams have either a + or - sign to show which is the favorite and the underdog. A + tells you how much you would win from a $100 wager, and a - shows you how much you would need to wager to win $100.

Q: What is an NHL 3-way bet?

A 3-way bet can refer to any of the primary markets (moneyline, spread or total goals) and is slightly different to regular markets, because there are three possible outcomes in the market. An example of this would be the 60-minute betting market, where the three outcomes are Team A, Team B or a Draw.

Q: How to read NHL betting lines?

Most NHL betting lines are designed in such a way that they appear intuitive to the bettor. In general, the most common markets are 2-way, 3-way, Over/Under and Yes/No. Take your time to understand each of the lines before placing a wager at any sports betting sites.

Q: How do you bet on NHL hockey?

The first thing to do is sign up with the NHL betting site of your choice. Once you've got your welcome bonus, you simply go to the NHL markets and select the line you would like to bet on. Once that is in your bet slip, you choose your stake and place the wager.

Q: What NHL games to bet on tonight?

On any given night there can be multiple games to bet on. You can choose to either bet on one particular game in a single or a bet builder/same-game parlay, or you can place a parlay on multiple matches on a specific night.

Q: How to bet NHL puck line?

The puck line bet is one of the most popular game bets in NHL betting. To place a wager, you need to decide which side of the line you think will win – the underdog +1.5 or the favorite -1.5. Once you've made your pick, you add that to your bet slip, enter your wager amount and place the bet.

Q: Can you push an NHL puck line bet?

NHL puck line bets will always be on the half goal line, which means that it is not possible for them to end up as a push. For example, by far the most common puck line bet will be +1.5 and -1.5. This means that there is no way that the bet can end up being pushed.

These picks are suggested bets that we have hand-picked as being good value and having a high chance of returning you a profit. Our expert Pickfinder will scan the various betting options listed below, and only show you the most relevant and eye-catching betting opportunities to help you make an NHL prediction with the best NHL betting sites.

Best NHL Picks Against the Spread

Betting against the spread is a popular way of betting on an underdog, with a spread value attached to them. The most common spread in NHL betting is the puck line, which is always set at 1.5 goals. Betting against the spread would therefore mean you are backing the underdog to either win or lose by a single goal. This covers all winning scenarios, overtime or shootout defeats and a one-goal regulation defeat. Alternative puck line values are also available, which could earn you more money with NHL betting apps.

NHL Moneyline Picks

The moneyline is the most straightforward of all the NHL online sports betting picks. It all boils down to which team wins the game. Moneyline picks are popular for both their simplicity and their availability. Every bookmaker offers this market, and there is never any confusion or debate at the end of the game, it either wins or it loses! Moneyline bets are particularly attractive on NHL picks and parlays, be it for an NHL playoff or regular season game.

NHL Over Under Picks

The most common form of over/under NHL betting picks are the total goals markets. These can sometimes be broken down by period, but the most popular market includes the entire game, including overtime. The line for most NHL hockey games will be set at either 5.5 or 6.5 goals, and a lot of bettors will bet this market regularly, as it can maintain their interest in even a one-sided game.

NHL Picks and Parlays

Quite often, the NHL picks for that day's games just won't cut it. You might want to be a bit more ambitious and combine several teams into one bet, with a higher potential payout if successful. That is where parlay betting is particularly attractive. A parlay is a combination of two or more picks, merged into one bet, where all the bet legs need to win for you to make a return. The more selections you add to the bet, the higher the NHL odds go. These can be great bets to use any betting welcome offers on as there is minimal risk attached to your wager for maximum profit.

NHL Puck Line Picks

Puck line betting is a particularly exciting market when it comes to NHL picks and parlays. The puck line is a 1.5-goal handicap, applied to the team that are considered the favorite in any given contest. If you pick the favorite, it means your pick must not only win the game in regulation, but they must win by more than a goal. The reason this bet is considered so exciting is that quite often, a team will have a one goal lead in the final minutes of an NHL game, when the opposition pulls their goaltender for an extra attacker. This leaves a potentially gaping empty net for your team to (hopefully) score into, making your bet a late winner.

How to Bet on NHL Games

Signing up for an NHL betting account is as easy as it has ever been. You will need to verify your identity along the way, that's just par for the course, but recent technological advancements have made this largely straightforward for the majority of customers.

Once your account is live, you can make a deposit and begin to place your bets. Make sure you understand any free bet offers that you are signing up for, so that you can get the best value out of this.

Where can I Bet on Today's NHL Betting Picks?

There are numerous ice hockey betting sites that will offer generous new customer betting offers, and it's up to you to decide what features are most important to you when signing up with a new site and betting on today's NHL picks from Bookmakers.com.

Whether it's sites that have great puck lines or prop offerings to those with the best traditional moneyline prices, it's best you do your research on NHL betting apps to work out which one is best for you. Some will also provide great Stanley Cup Final deposit match bonus offers, so be on the lookout for event-specific offers.
