Hockey Betting at Megapari
Hockey is a unique sport: for obvious reasons, it is primarily popular in northern (or at least relatively northern) countries, yet it is widely considered one of the four most popular sports in the world. The reasons for its popularity are obvious: the ice ensures fast-paced gameplay, the score can change quite quickly, and in contentious moments, teams can come to blows, which adds an extra layer of excitement to the action. If you’re an expert on hockey and want to do more than just guess the outcome of the next game—and actually profit from your accurate predictions—place bets on hockey matches at Megapari.
Hockey game schedule
Today, hockey is played not outdoors but in indoor ice arenas, so in theory, the sport wouldn’t have to be tied to the cold season; despite this, most games are still held between October and April. Moreover, the number of games gradually decreases in the spring: once the regular season ends, the competition moves into the playoffs, where with each round, the number of teams—and thus the number of games—is cut in half. For this reason, Megapari’s hockey betting line is prone to significant fluctuations: during the regular season, it may feature over 500 scheduled matches, while in the summer, there are barely a few dozen. As for the most popular competitions, we highlight the following:
- The NHL is the clear and undisputed leader in terms of fan attention;
- The KHL is often considered the second-strongest and most significant club championship;
- national team tournaments—primarily the top division of the World Championship, as well as competitions at the Winter Olympics;
- National championships are of interest primarily to local fans.
Major betting markets
The hockey betting market is the second-largest in terms of coverage after soccer: there is so much diverse statistical data collected for this sport that Megapari offers around 1,000 betting markets for the most popular matches. For bettors, this is a great option: you can always find a reliable betting opportunity in a match where you’d otherwise have to guess the winner, and even in the context of an overly predictable game, there’s still a chance to find some intrigue. As for the most popular markets offered for each hockey game, they are as follows:
- Outcome: Who will win the match (note that a shootout automatically results in a tie);
- Total: Will both teams combined score more or fewer goals in the entire game, regardless of who wins the match?
- Handicap: a betting tool used to wager on a favorite crushing an underdog, or conversely, on a much stronger team winning by a narrow margin against a supposedly weaker one;
- exact score;
- Bets on specific periods: the same outcomes—win, total, spread, and exact score—but not for the entire match, rather for a short segment of it.
