NHL Hockey Betting online Lines

NHL Hockey Betting is especially true if you consider the fact that goals in the sport played on ice basically equal runs in the sport played on dry land.

Total goals scored is one way to betting online. This is a classic hockey betting line for an over/under wager that might look like this:

Over 4.5 goals -180

Under 4.5 goals +210

Using the above information, if you bet the “over” hockey betting line then in order for you to win the total number of goals scored by both teams in the game would have to be 5 or more. The -180 is the multiplier, so if you put $10 down on the over and you win you would get back a total of $18.00. If you wagered on the under NHL lines then the total number of goals would have to be 4 or less for you to get back a total of $21.00 on a $10 bet.

With the decrease in the size of goalie equipment, rule changes to create a more wide-open game, and the institution of the shootout, in the 2006 season, one would think the average number of goals scored per game will increase, thus raising the totals for NHL betting lines. Also, the scuttlebutt on the ice is that officials will be rigorously enforcing any type of interference and holding calls, which should create more power play opportunities and more chance for scoring.
