Why Betting on Hockey is Considered As Profitable One?

Discipline – one of the key components in hockey betting and any other sports. If there is no discipline, all the efforts of the player, sooner or later, come to naught.

For novice betters after hundreds of bets it turns out to be a mess in heads, a desire arises to systematize and streamline everything, which is able to provide the best strategies for betting on hockey.

Essence and types of strategies

Strategy – a tool in betting, which consists of various algorithms and rules. Each strategy ideally performs several tasks:

  • Systematic profit;
  • Reducing the risk of losing the bank;
  • Ensuring discipline;
  • Tilt protection.

It is customary to divide strategies into play and financial ones. Using systems of one kind is meaningless without a second. Gaming is the tactic of hockey betting, which helps to choose the right matches and profitable bets. Financial – financial management system for managing a gaming bank. In addition, there are also combined strategies that include a game and financial mechanism.

Top 7 best hockey betting strategies

So many players, so many strategies! On the Internet, you can find a huge amount of strategies, measured in thousands. Most of them are for betting on hockey in live, since it is more expedient to bet on this sport during the match when there are great opportunities to show knowledge and earn money due to the dynamism of hockey – frequent change of the score, which entails changes in odds.

Favorites betting

A simple and well-known strategy, according to which you need to bet on winning of favorites, you can do it with a handicap. Odds for favorites are usually underestimated, which is a drawback of this approach to hockey betting, but if you choose the right matches and use a sound financial management strategy, you can achieve good results.

Betting on underdogs

The opposite system, the essence of which is to bet on outsiders (a clear victory) or against favorites (plus handicaps). The player will win less often, but will gain a mathematical advantage over the bookmaker, since the odds for outsiders are often too high. It is recommended to bet on underdogs in such cases:

  • When the favorite is playing at home after the away series;
  • When an outsider does not know defeat at least 2-3 games;
  • When the favorite holds the second match in two days.

Gifen system

Popular strategy among players making bets on the NHL. When playing according to the Gifen system, it is necessary to begin with the bet, the winnings of which will allow you to receive 1% of the bank. If the first bet is lost, you should bet the same amount for the next match to win back the size of the lost first bet and get 1%. And so on. To calculate the size of the bet, the formula X = (A + C) / (K – 1) is used, where:

X – calculated bet size;

A – 1% of the game bank;

K – odds;

C – the total amount of lost bets.

The Gifen hockey betting system is an effective way to increase the bankroll by slow but sure pace. In order to avoid big risks, it is not recommended to set low odds, in particular, less than 1.70.

Bets on total over 1.5 in the third period

An interesting strategy that recommends betting on Over (1.5) in the third period of hockey matches, where after two periods one of the teams leads in exactly two goals. If the difference is more than two goals, then the teams can simply finish the match, if a draw or advantage in one goal is to be careful. And the difference in two goals – the most favorable condition for Over (1.5) in the third period, which confirms the statistics.

Against total Over

The strategy of betting on hockey in live, playing on which you should bet on the betting shop on Under (4.5), provided that in the first period exactly two goals were abandoned, no more and no less.

Strategy of bets after the first period

A promising, but risky betting system for hockey matches of successful teams. As stated in the strategy, you need to make bets after the first period on the goal of each team. That is, the first bet on the abandoned puck of team 1 and the second on the goal of team 2. The goal is to win both bets. If only one of them wins, the player will be in the red. Immediately two lose – the losses will be serious.

Martingale vs. Draw

A noteworthy hockey betting strategy that uses a fairly simple algorithm. A bet is made against a draw in the first period, that is, the bet “12”. If a loss, then you need to bet against a draw in the second period. In the case of a secondary failure, a similar bet is made for the third period. If there are three defeats in a row, then choose another match and again set to “12” in the 1st period. Play should be Martingale.

Hockey betting win-win strategies – reality or myth?

Without unnecessary lyrics, we note immediately that a win-win hockey betting system is a myth. There are no strategies that would guarantee a regular profit, even a small one. Each strategy has its own degree of risk, but risk-free systems do not exist in nature.

But what about arbs, you ask? Yes, there is a well-known strategy of the arb – the only one that allows you to make win-win bets on hockey or other sports. The essence of the arbs is that the player finds different odds for one match in the betting shops, puts on opposite outcomes and has a plus for any result of the match. The only problem is that 95% of bookmakers track arbers, lower their maximums or block them altogether. Therefore, arb strategy can’t be called risk-free.

Thus, all the notorious golden strategies and betting secrets are nothing more than cast rods for fraudsters who use the gullibility and inexperience of newbies. In order to learn to beat bookmakers, you need to improve your knowledge in hockey, try different strategies and be sure to learn the principles of the work of bookmakers.
