Hockey Betting

Hockey is one of the most exciting games to bet on; from aggressive body checks to net-breaking goals, a hockey game is action-packed throughout every period and beyond. At LiveScore Bet, you can bet on a huge variety of betting markets from hockey across the globe. And because a hockey game can change within a split second, we even offer live hockey betting, with odds that update instantly as the game progresses.

What Hockey Leagues Can You Bet On?

At LiveScore Bet, we provide you with betting markets across all the major hockey leagues and competitions so that you can bet on hockey all year round. We allow you to bet on leagues across the world, from North America to Australia, with the latest odds and most exciting betting markets. Here are just some of the most popular competitions you can bet on with LiveScore Bet.

NHL

As hockey's most followed league, the NHL is never short of excitement. Each year, 32 teams across North America battle it out to claim the elusive Stanley Cup. But before they can get their hands on this illustrious prize, they must first make it out of their conference. The conferences are split in two, Eastern and Western, and they are divided further into divisions. The Eastern Conference has the Atlantic and Metropolitan Division, while the Western Conference has the Central and Pacific Division. To be the outright winner of the NHL and claim the Stanley Cup, a team has to finish in the top two positions in the division to reach the playoffs. At this stage, they will play against teams that finished in their division's top two positions in a best of seven matches until the two best teams prevail and play against each other in the Stanley Cup final.

European Hockey Leagues

There is a huge spotlight on hockey in Europe, with some of the world's best players taking to the ice for European clubs. Scandinavia is leading the way with leagues such as the Czech Extraliga, the Swedish Akksvenskan and the Finnish SM Liga, all producing some of the world's top talents in ice hockey. At LiveScore Bet, we allow you to bet on all of these leagues and many more. Keep an eye on the day's games to never miss a chance to bet on European hockey.

International Competitions

Every year, the best hockey players in the world get the chance to represent their nation to claim the IIHF World Championship title. Each country plays to make it out of their group and faces other nations in knock-out rounds until an overall winner is crowned. Winning the IIHF is one of the biggest accomplishments in hockey; however, claiming an Olympic gold medal is the greatest honour. Canada is currently leading the way with the most Olympic and IIHF gold medals, but there is a small contingent of countries, including the US, Czech Republic and Sweden, that are closing in.

How To Bet On Hockey?

With so much action happening within a hockey game, there are many hockey markets to bet on. At LiveScore Bet, we have markets for goals, markets across each period, and markets allowing you to bet on players. Below are some of the most popular ways to bet on hockey.

Winner Bets

Also referred to as two-way bets, these types allow you to bet between two possible outcomes; for example, the most popular form of winner bets is deciding who will win the game between the two teams playing. Similar to two-way bets, a three-way bet means that you have three options for your wager; an example would be if a player scores in the first, second or third period of a game. Other markets that use a similar format to these types of bets include under/over bets, total team goals and goalscorers. Another popular option is a puck line bet which gives the underdog a handicap. If you bet on the underdog and they lose, you might still win your bet, depending on how many goals were on the handicap.

Outright and Specials

An outright bet is a market allowing you to bet on the outright winner of a league or competition. The most popular outright bet is on the winner of the Stanley Cup. You can bet on outrights throughout the season, but note that the odds will change the further into the season you go. For example, our Stanley Cup odds change depending on the likelihood that a team will reach the playoffs based on their results.

Accumulator Bets

If you follow hockey regularly, you may become familiar with teams across the NHL and even the world. If this is the case, creating an accumulator bet (or an Acca) creates more excitement. Accas allow you to bet on multiple games, all within the same bet. The more games you add to your Accca, the greater the odds become; therefore, the greater the returns could potentially be. However, if one of those bets doesn’t win, your whole Acca will lose.

Live Hockey Betting

Hockey is fast-paced and aggressive, the outcome of a game can change within a split second, and our odds can keep up with the pace of play and update to reflect the action in real time. With in-play betting, you can bet on the game's outcome after the first face-off until the end of the third period.

With many markets to bet on, you can use your hockey knowledge to bet on the game as it happens. Perhaps the underdog is piling on the pressure in the opponent's attacking zone, or maybe the best player on the rink receives a game misconduct and has to sit out the entire match. Anything can happen in hockey, so having the latest odds at your disposal with LiveScore Bet is the best way to watch your favourite teams battle it on the rink.

What Live Hockey Betting Markets Are Available?

In-play markets feature many of the same markets you are familiar with in ante-post hockey betting. We offer live hockey betting for many popular markets. Bet on the winning margin, total match goals or even the highest-scoring period. Use your hockey knowledge for live hockey betting and take advantage of the changing live hockey odds, but note that not all markets and games are available for in-play betting.
