Popular NHL Bet Types
Since betting on the NHL is less popular than football, some operators may not have as many markets and variety when it comes to hockey. Here are a few of the most popular wagering options the majority of betting sites should have.
- Moneyline - A moneyline wager is betting on who you think will win the game in question. If the team you bet on wins, you win.
- Puck line - The puck line in NHL betting is the same thing as the "spread" in other sports. The key difference here is the puck line is almost always 1.5 where that number varies for events like basketball and football. If the Blues are -1.5 on the puck line, they need to win by at least two goals for you to win your bet. On the other hand, +1.5 means they could lose by one goal and still win your bet.
- Total - Commonly referred to as the over/under, total bets are wagering on the combined number of goals between both teams in a game. If the total is set at 5.5, over bettors need at least six goals while under bettors will be rooting for five or fewer.
- Parlay - An NHL parlay bet is simply combining two or more wagers (called legs) into a single bet. Doing this increases the odds of your wager, but each leg added ups the risk of the parlay.
- Player Props - Prop bets have skyrocketed in popularity in recent years as they allow you to wager on a particular player independent of the outcome of a game. This could be something like betting on the number of points Jordan Kyrou will have or how many saves Jordan Binnington will have.
- Futures - As the name implies, future wagers are on events that won't be settled until later in the season. The most popular example is the winner of the Stanley Cup, but this extends to conference champions and award winners as well.

While it's too early to say for certain which NHL offers may be available, hockey fans can rest assured there will be Missouri betting bonuses to take advantage of. There may not be NHL-specific promotions, but any of the new user offers that become available can be used for NHL betting in MO.
