What NHL Stanley Cup Finals Betting Markets Can I Bet On?
The main NHL Stanley Cup Finals betting markets are to win championship, moneyline, spread and over / under total goals:
To Win Championship - This market is simply betting on who will be crowned world champions at the end of the NHL Stanley Cup Finals Finals. You do not have to successfully predict the series result, just who wins it. There will be an alternate market that allows you to bet on the series result – 4-0, 4-3 etc.
Money Line - The money line is betting on which team will win the game. There is no option for a draw in the NHL, with teams going to overtime and/or a shootout if the score is tied at the end of regulation, so the moneyline is a two-way market in which you bet on one team to win, and it includes overtime.
Line - The line market is more also known as a handicap. Bookmakers will assign one team a positive (+) or negative (-) spread, line or handicap depending on favoritism for the game, and the bettor bets to cover the line.
Let’s use an NHL game between the Vegas Golden Knights and Colorado Avalanche as an example. If the Golden Knights start with a +1.5 line and you bet on the Golden Knights, they need to win the game or lose by less than 2 goals in order for your bet to win.
On the other side of the coin, the Avalanche would be assigned a -1.5 line spread meaning they would need to win by 2 or more goals in order for your bet on the Avalanche to be a winner.
Over / Under Total Goals - This NHL Stanley Cup Finals betting market allows bettors to bet on the total amount of goals scored in a game by both teams. The sportsbook will set a line, let’s say 5.5 goals and you can bet on the total goals scored by both teams going over or under that total.
