HOW TO PLACE AN ICE HOCKEY SPREAD BET

To place an ice hockey spread bet, look at the Spreadex prediction or spread on the market in question.

If you think the outcome will be higher than our price, then you would buy on the spread.

If you think the outcome will be lower than our price, then you would sell on the spread.

The more right you are the more you can win, but the opposite is the case if you get it wrong, as you may lose more than your initial stake.

ICE HOCKEY SPREAD BETTING ‘BUY’ EXAMPLE

It is the final of the Stanley Cup play-offs, and you are expecting a high-scoring game, so take a look at Spreadex’s Total Goals spread betting market.

Spreadex is offering a Total Goals spread of 5-5.3. You buy £20 at 5.3. The final sees 7 goals in total, leaving you with a profit of £34 ((9 – 5.3) x £20).

Even if there were only 6 goals across the final, you would still come away with a profit of £14 ((6 – 5.3) x £20).

However, if it was a really tight game, with only 4 goals, you be left with a loss of £26 ((4 – 5.3) x £20).

ICE HOCKEY SPREAD BETTING ‘SELL’ EXAMPLE

It’s the opening game of a new NHL season, and you’ve got a feeling it is going to be a low-scoring affair, so take a look at Spreadex’s Total Goals spread betting market.

Spreadex is offering a Total Goals spread of 6.2-6.5. You sell £20 at 6.2. In the end, the match only sees 4 goals, leaving you with a profit of £44 ((6.2 – 4) x £20).

Say, instead, there are 6 goals in the game. You would still come away with a small profit of £4 ((6.2 – 6) x £20).

However, if the game were to finish 5-3, i.e. with 8 goals, you would suffer a loss of £36 ((6.2 – 8) x £20).

IN-PLAY ICE HOCKEY SPREAD BETTING

In-play ice hockey bets allow you to open or close bets at any point in any match, meaning you can close out of your bets early either to take profits or to cut losses.

ICE HOCKEY SUPREMACY AND PERFORMANCE BETS

Goal Supremacy: This is the predicted margin, in goals, by which one team will beat another and the price, or spread, will indicate which team is being placed as favourite over the other.

For example, Spreadex is offering a Team A/Team B Goal Supremacy spread of 1.8-2. If you think Team A will win by more than 2 goals, you would buy. If you think Team A will win by less than 2 goals, or lose the match, you would sell.

Spreadex also offers Goal Supremacy spreads for each period.

10-3 Supremacy: This is where the winning team is awarded 10 points, plus a further 3 points for each goal won by. Spreadex also offers 10-3 Supremacy spreads for each period.

Team Mini Performance: This is where 5 points are awarded per goal scored, plus 25 points for winning the game, for an individual team. Overtime and penalties count for all markets.

In the event of a game being decided in overtime or by a penalty shootout, then one goal will be added to then winning team’s score and the total goals.

ICE HOCKEY GOALS BETS

Total Goals: Simply the total number of goals scored in a match. Overtime and penalties count for all markets. In the event of a game being decided in overtime or by a penalty shootout, then one gaol will be added to then winning team’s score and the total goals.

Spreadex also offer individual Team Goals spreads, as well as Total and Team Goals spreads period-by-period.

Total Goal Minutes (No Overtime): The aggregate minutes of all goals scored in regulation time in the match. Spreadex also offers individual Team Total Goal Minutes spreads.

1st Match Goal: The time, in minutes, the 1st Match Goal will be scored. Spreadex also offers individual Team 1st Match Goal spreads, as well as prices on the time of each subsequent goal.

Cross Goals: This is the total home team goals multiplied by the total away team goals for the match. Overtime and penalties count for all markets. In the event of a game being decided in overtime or by a penalty shootout, then one gaol will be added to then winning team’s score and the total goals.

Pow!: One of the more esoteric markets, Pow! is the total goals in match to the power of power-play goals in the match, including overtime. The maximum make-up is 1000. If there are no power-play goals, then the make-up is 1.

For example, if the match has 5 goals, of which 2 are power-play goals, then the make-up would be 52 = 25.

Thrice Hockey: The total goals scored in the 1st period multiplied by the total goals scored in the 2nd period multiplied by the total goals scored in the 3rd period. Market makes up at 0 if any period is goalless.
