How NHL Betting Works<\/span><\/h2>\n

As one of the more popular sports to bet on, the NHL comes packaged with a range of games and markets to bet on. Most Canadian bookmakers will offer odds in a decimal form, but you can switch between American and fractional odds if you would rather.<\/p>\n

The odds will highlight the return per single unit placed. For example, if you\u2019ve got a bet that is priced at 3.00 and you wager $10, then the total returns would be $30 ($10 x 3.0). Decimal odds will include the stake in the returns. So, your actual profit from this bet would be $20 ($30 total returns – $10 initial stake = $20 profit).<\/p>\n

Below we\u2019ve included a real-world example of how an NHL bet would work from a game between the Vancouver Canucks and the Toronto Maple Leafs.<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n

Toronto Maple Leafs<\/td>\n	2.10<\/td>\n	$105.00<\/td>\n	$55.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n Single-Game NHL Betting Explained<\/span><\/h2>\n The passing of Bill C-218 in 2021 signified a huge shift in how sports betting works in Canada. Many think that it was from this point that betting was legalized, but that wasn\u2019t the case.<\/p>\n Previously sports betting was possible at a range of betting companies (both online and brick-and-mortar), however, players were limited as to what they could bet on. These limitations meant that only parlays of 3 or more picks were possible.<\/p>\n Bill C-218 changed this to allow single-game bets to be taken, with NHL betting benefiting massively from this. Now you\u2019re able to bet on a single game, such as Vancouver Canucks to bear the Toronto Maple Leafs, whereas previously, you would have had to include this bet with at least two others within a parlay.<\/p>\n It\u2019s worth pointing out that Bill C-218 is only applicable to betting sites located in Canada. Offshore betting sites have been able to offer single-game NHL bets throughout and given that the bill doesn\u2019t cover every province in the country, this makes offshore betting more appealing.<\/p>\n Popular Types of NHL Betting Markets<\/span><\/h2>\n There are dozens of NHL bets that you can place these days, especially as betting sites look to expand with new markets. However, NHL betting has what we would describe as a \u201ccore 5\u201d and we\u2019re going to run down what they are and how they work below.<\/p>\n Moneyline Bets<\/span><\/h3>\n Moneyline bets are where you bet on the outright winner of the game. The odds are reflective of the team\u2019s chances of winning. Most NHL betting sites will include overtime results for moneyline bets, however, some do not, so it\u2019s worth checking the T\u2019s & C\u2019s before you bet. Target betting sites that do include as it gives you more chances of winning.<\/p>\n \n\n\n\n\n\n Team<\/strong><\/td>\n Odds<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Pittsburgh Penguins<\/td>\n 2.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n New York Islanders<\/td>\n 1.7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n Spread Betting<\/span><\/h3>\n Spread betting is where both teams are handicapped in terms of goals. The favorite will have goals deducted from their final score and the underdog will have goals added. Most markets will have this as a decimal so that there is always a result.<\/p>\n The goal of the handicapper is to get a spread where the odds are both the same or at least very similar. Two even money bets is what the spread aims to achieve.<\/p>\n Note, some NHL betting sites call this the puck line.<\/p>\n \n\n\n\n\n\n Team<\/strong><\/td>\n Odds<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Winnipeg Jets +1.5<\/td>\n 1.9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n St Louis Blues \u00a0-1.5<\/td>\n 1.85<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n Totals<\/span><\/h3>\n Totals are the total number of goals scored for the game. This combines goals from both teams, and you need to choose the over or under for the line set by the NHL betting site.<\/p>\n \n\n\n\n\n\n Total Points<\/strong><\/td>\n Odds<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Over 5.5<\/td>\n 1.85<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Under 5.5<\/td>\n 1.90<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n Prop Bets<\/span><\/h3>\n Prop bets are a mix of everything else that you can bet on in the NHL. They are usually split between game, player, and team prop bets. The best NHL betting sites have a wide range to choose from here, and these markets add a little something different to the previous four markets that all sportsbooks will include.<\/p>\n The table below is a prop bet based on the total number of goals scored by Connor McDavid and Auston Mathews for the season.<\/p>\n \n\n\n\n\n\n Player<\/strong><\/td>\n Over<\/strong><\/td>\n Under<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Connor McDavid<\/td>\n 82.5 Goals (1.8)<\/td>\n 82.5 Goals (1.85)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Auston Mathews<\/td>\n 88.5 Goals (1.9)<\/td>\n 88.5 Goals (1.8)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n Futures<\/span><\/h3>\n NHL futures bets are those that are placed a considerable amount of time before the market will be settled. The most common is betting on the Stanley cup winner where you can bet up to 12 months before the final takes place.<\/p>\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n NHL Stanley Cup Winner<\/strong><\/td>\n Odds<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Colorado Avalanche<\/td>\n 4.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Boston Bruins<\/td>\n 7.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Vegas Golden Knights<\/td>\n 7.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Toronto Maple Leafs<\/td>\n 8.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Carolina Hurricanes<\/td>\n 10.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n Parlays<\/span><\/h3>\n Parlays are bets that include 2 or more picks. You need all selections from these bets to win to have a successful parlay. The odds are simply multiplied by each other to create your overall parlay price.<\/p>\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Team<\/strong><\/td>\n Odds<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Boston Bruins to win<\/td>\n 2.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Florida Panthers \u00a0to win<\/td>\n 1.7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Calgary Flames to win<\/td>\n 1.9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n New York Rangers to win<\/td>\n 1.45<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Total Parlay Odds<\/strong><\/td>\n 11.71<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n NHL Betting Strategies & Systems<\/span><\/h2>\n Professional bettors all have strategies or systems that they use to not only maximize winnings, but also limit losses. We\u2019ve included some of these below that you can use to create your own NHL betting system.<\/p>\n Schedule<\/span><\/h3>\n Games come thick and fast in the NHL, so you need to be aware of who\u2019s playing and when. Teams will often endure long trips on the road, and this is usually the toughest period. Target opposing teams on the back of long travel stretches or who\u2019ve played a lot of games in a short period of time. Fatigue is one of the main reasons why teams lose on the road.<\/p>\n Use the Data to Your Advantage<\/span><\/h3>\n There is tons of data online about all NHL teams and this will allow you to spot trends. It might be in the form of goals scored, periods of the game when they are weakest, or could include how certain players play against different teams.<\/p>\n Data is the easiest way to make the most informed picks possible. If you follow this route then you\u2019ve much more chance of finding value, rather than just going with your heart when betting on teams or markets.<\/p>\n Follow the Money<\/span><\/h3>\n This is a common practice that lots of pro bettors do and it\u2019s all about seeing where most bets are being placed. If the odds have been reduced, then you can assume it\u2019s because more money is being placed on that market.<\/p>\n However, it\u2019s possible to oppose money to find value. Popular teams get a lot of bets simply because of who they are and the fact that casual bettors will be drawn to bet on them. Tie in the following money with the data and you\u2019ve got a killer combination for making money with NHL betting.<\/p>\n Our Top 5 Tips for Betting on NHL<\/span><\/h2>\n To maximize winnings, we\u2019ve included some tips for betting on the NHL. Tie this in with the strategies outlined above.<\/p>\n Check the Form<\/span><\/h3>\n Form is the easiest place to start. Look to see recent results from both teams and then see who is performing the best. Don\u2019t just look at the overall form, but instead break it down into home and away results. You will often find teams are much stronger at home, but again, this is not set in stone.<\/p>\n Follow Picks<\/span><\/h3>\n There are lots of sites that provide free NHL betting picks that you can use as part of your strategy. The easiest process for this is to go with strength in numbers. Try and find five NHL betting tips sites and then compare to see who is backing what. If there are three or more each tipping the same pick, then it\u2019s likely going to be a good place to start.<\/p>\n Use Welcome Bonuses and Free Bets<\/span><\/h3>\n You need to use a welcome bonus if you have access to one. This will allow you to use free money for your bets and help you clear the bonus to shift it to cash. Free bets are an excellent source of value as well, even though you won\u2019t get your stake back should your bet win.<\/p>\n Bankroll Management<\/span><\/h3>\n Only bet what you can afford to use. This is the first rule of online betting.<\/p>\n Bankroll management is going to differ for each player. A casual bettor that places a couple of bets per week can usually top up bankroll frequently and not worry too much about losses (assuming bet sizing is small or in relation to disposable income).<\/p>\n Professional bettors will have a lump sum set aside to use on a more regular basis (multiple bets per day). The 1% is a good place to start, meaning that you should never risk more than 1% of your total bankroll for each bet. This will allow a cushion for inevitable losses, which are unavoidable in sports betting.<\/p>\n Biggest NHL Conferences and Divisions to Bet on<\/span><\/h2>\n The NHL season is split up into multiple sections. These include. Regular season, playoffs, and then the Stanley Cup. There is also an All-Star game that runs every year in February and while this is less of an opportunity to bet on, it\u2019s still relevant.<\/p>\n Regular Season NHL Games<\/span><\/h3>\n Each team plays 82 regular season games over a grueling 1,312 total games. This gives a huge opportunity to bet throughout the season, with multiple games played every day. It\u2019s one of the main reasons why NHL betting is so popular as it\u2019s so accessible.<\/p>\n Stanley Cup Playoffs<\/span><\/h3>\n Eight teams from the conference (the top three teams from each division plus 2 next highest-placed teams) will qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs. Each game is now a best-of-7 format and usually have some of the most exciting games of the season.<\/p>\n Stanley Cup<\/span><\/h3>\n The NHL season is wrapped up at the Stanley Cup final. These are the two teams that have made it through each of the playoff knockouts and the winner (again from best of 7 format) will be Stanley Cup champions for that season.<\/p>\n Canadian NHL Teams to Bet On<\/span><\/h2>\n Canada has 7 teams currently playing in the NHL. The sport is massive in the country and the teams are some of the best-supported in the league. Below we\u2019ve included a little more information on each of them.<\/p>\n Calgary Flames<\/span><\/h3>\n Calgary Flames were founded in 1972 as the Atlanta Flames, before relocating to Calgary in 1980. They play their games at the Scotiabank Saddledome and have won the Stanley Cup once, back in 1989.<\/p>\n Edmonton Oilers<\/span><\/h3>\n The Edmonton Oilers were founded in 191 but didn\u2019t make their NHL debut until the 1979-80 season. Their home games take place at Rogers Place and have won the Stanley Cup five times, with the most recent being in 1990.<\/p>\n Montreal Canadiens<\/span><\/h3>\n The Montreal Canadians are one of the oldest NHL teams and were founded in 1909 before making their NHL debut in 1917. They\u2019ve won the Stanley Cup an incredible 23 times and have 55 NHL hall of famers.<\/p>\n Ottawa Senators<\/span><\/h3>\n The Ottawa Senators were founded in 1992 and have been competing in the NHL ever since. They are yet to win a Stanley Cup but do have 16 appearances in the playoffs. They play their home games at the Canadian Tire Centre.<\/p>\n Toronto Maple Leafs<\/span><\/h3>\n The Toronto Maple Leafs were formed in 1917 and play at the Scotiabank Arena. They have 13 Stanley Cup wins to their name and have appeared in the playoffs 68 times. Mats Sundin is the franchise scoring-leader with 987 goals.<\/p>\n Winnipeg Jets<\/span><\/h3>\n The Winnipeg Jets are the youngest Canadian NHL team, formed in 1999. They play at the Bell MTS Place and have yet to win the Stanley Cup, with just 4 appearances in the playoffs in that time.<\/p>\n Vancouver Canucks<\/span><\/h3>\n The Vancouver Canucks were formed in 1970 and are widely regarded as the best team to never have won the Stanley Cup. They hold the record for most playoff appearances (27) and no Stanley Cup wins. Their Franchise leading scorer is Henrik Sedin, with 1,070 goals.<\/p>\n Bonuses for NHL Betting Online<\/span><\/h2>\n As we\u2019ve already highlighted, one of the best things about using an offshore betting site is the vast range of bonuses and promotions that you can claim. In this section, we\u2019re going to walk you through a range of bonus types and explain how they work.<\/p>\n Match Deposit Sign Up Bonuses<\/span><\/h3>\n A match deposit bonus is where the sportsbook will match your opening deposit up to a certain amount. The match will be a percentage (commonly 100% but can be 50% up to 300%). You need to clear the bonus as per the wagering requirements to withdraw it.<\/p>\n No Deposit Bonus<\/span><\/h3>\n A bonus deposit bonus is where the sportsbook will give you a bonus without the need to deposit. All you would do here is register an account and the bonus will be applied to your account when your sign in.<\/p>\n Free Bets<\/span><\/h3>\n Free bets allow the user to place a wager on sports betting market for free. The value will range, but any winnings from these offers will not include the stake. It\u2019s worth noting that most of these offers will pay out profits as cash and not bonus money, making them an excellent value.<\/p>\n Bitcoin & Crypto Bonuses<\/span><\/h3>\n Crypto bonuses are triggered by making a deposit with a cryptocurrency. This is now one of the most popular payment methods for online betting sites, with bonuses that often excel regular deposit bonuses.<\/p>\n Reload or Top-Up Bonuses<\/span><\/h3>\n A reload bonus is triggered when you make your second deposit at the sportsbook. It works the same as match deposit offers and is an additional bonus.<\/p>\n Risk-Free Bets<\/span><\/h3>\n Risk-free bets are where the sportsbook allows you to place a bet if that bet loses, then they will refund your stake. If it wins, then you keep the winnings as per a regular bet.<\/p>\n The Best Payment Methods for NHL Betting<\/span><\/h2>\n NHL betting allows you to access a wide range of payment options. Offshore sportsbooks tend to have more options than those licensed within Canada, and we\u2019ve outlined some of the more popular ones below.<\/p>\n Crypto Betting Options<\/span><\/h3>\n Crypto payments are the fastest growing in this sector. Almost all the NHL betting sites that we recommend have crypto options, which can include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Dogecoin. You\u2019re likely going to get much bigger welcome offers if you use crypto, which adds a ton of value as a result. Read more about crypto betting<\/a> in our guide.<\/p>\n eWallet Betting Options<\/span><\/h3>\n Banking with eWallets is not as accessible as it once was, but you can still use the likes of PayPal, Neteller, and Skrill with a lot of the NHL betting sites. It\u2019s worth noting that a lot of the sites prohibit you from claiming deposit bonuses with eWallets, so make sure you check this before using this payment method.<\/p>\n Traditional Payment Methods<\/span><\/h3>\n Traditional payment methods include the likes of Visa, Mastercard, Check, and bank wire. These are going to be the most popular for most bettors but be warned that they can come with increased fees and longer processing times, especially when compared to crypto and eWallet options.<\/p>\n NHL Apps and Mobile Betting<\/span><\/h3>\n Mobile betting now equates to over 50% of all bets placed online. All sportsbooks offer some form of mobile access, be it in the form of a mobile betting site that you access within your mobile browser or a downloadable betting app that you can get from the App Store or Google Play Store.<\/p>\n There are advantages to both, but mobile betting sites are more accessible due to the increased limitations that you get with app stores and betting apps. Mobile betting in general allows you to bet on the NHL while on the go and claim exclusive mobile betting offers or promotions.<\/p>\n 2022\/23 NHL Schedule<\/span><\/h2>\n The table below highlights the current schedule for the 2022\/23 NHL season.<\/p>\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Date<\/strong><\/td>\n Event<\/strong><\/td>\n Venue<\/strong><\/td>\n Location<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n September 24th<\/sup> \u2013 October 8th<\/sup> 2022<\/td>\n Start of NHL Preseason<\/td>\n N\/A<\/td>\n N\/A<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n October 8th<\/sup> 2022<\/td>\n Start of NHL Regular Season<\/td>\n N\/A<\/td>\n N\/A<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n January 2nd<\/sup> 2023<\/td>\n NHL Winter Classic<\/td>\n Fenway Park<\/td>\n Boston<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n February 4th<\/sup> 2023<\/td>\n All Star Game<\/td>\n FLA Live Arena<\/td>\n Florida<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n February 18th<\/sup> 2023<\/td>\n NHL Stadium Series Game<\/td>\n Carter-Finlay Stadium<\/td>\n North Carolina<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n April 13th<\/sup> 2023<\/td>\n Final Day of Regular Season<\/td>\n N\/A<\/td>\n N\/A<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n June 28th<\/sup> 2023<\/td>\n 2023 NHL Draft<\/td>\n Bridgestone Arena<\/td>\n Tennessee<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n Betting on NHL Near Me<\/span><\/h2>\n Betting online is one of the easiest ways you can bet on the NHL. Rules and regulations have recently been relaxed, but there\u2019s still not that many brick-and-mortar locations where you can bet on any sport, let alone NHL.<\/p>\n All provinces will accept most bet types and not just the 3+ game parlays that used to be in place. Finding somewhere to bet is difficult and most locations are simply local convince stores. However, Casinos in Canada look set to provide a sports betting service, with the likes of BetMGM talking about creating huge sports betting lounges and sportsbooks.<\/p>\n The Best NHL Betting Site in Canada<\/span><\/h2>\n The best NHL betting site is Bodog.
