How to bet on Hockey:
How
to Bet on Hockey
by
Jim Campbell of Footballforecastor.com
The
most recent changes brought about in the hockey world centered
around the NHL lock-out of the 2004-2005 season, the end result was
a season without hockey and a flurry of new rules, most of the new
rules were created and designed to bring more excitement to the game
of hockey, however, these same rule changes also affected the way a
gambler now wagers on hockey with regard to the elimination of ties
and the new shootout format to decide games which of course put an
end to games ending in a tie and brought about the introduction of
the “money-line” to hockey.
Wagering on the “money-line”
and/or on pitchers is nothing new to those familiar to wagering on
baseball, these new rules mentioned above make hockey wagering
almost identical to baseball wagering in that the best route to take
is simply betting a team to win or lose, the difference is that in
baseball you must know your pitchers but in hockey you must know
your goalies, in my humble opinion the best way to wager on hockey
is by concentrating on spread doggies or slight favorites, think
about it a moment if you will my friend, if you were to concentrate
the bulk of your wagers on the doggies and make these same wagers on
the “money-line”, then all you have to do is simply break even
in the win/loss column to produce a profit, following is a list of
key factors to look for when making a hockey wager:
- The most important consideration is
to know who is playing goalie for the two teams involved in any
given contest, the reason being is due to the fact that a goalie
is the single most important player on the ice and his
performance will directly translate to the success of any given
team on any given night. Keep up on starting line-ups and
monitor the injury reports of each team playing on a particular
day, often a situation will arise in which a back-up goalie gets
the start.
- Have a team by team schedule for
the season on hand and realize in advance any and all scheduling
situations that can and will impact any given teams performance,
keep in mind that teams playing consecutive games on the have a
tough row to hoe when facing rested home teams, quite often
visiting teams do not arrive to the host city until early the
next morning because they finished up a night game and then had
to travel. In this scenario the visiting coach usually does not
schedule a practice in order to keep the legs of his team fresh.
- Hockey is similar to football in
two key ways, first of all both games are very physical in
nature, and secondly the adage that defense wins championships
holds true in both sports. In hockey like football, there exists
two type of teams, some teams play a style that is predicated on
intimidating physical play featured by hard hitting while other
teams play more of a finesse style of play predicated on timing,
when two teams with these contrasting styles play usually the
team with the more physical defense wins.
Our goal here at www.footballforecastor.com
is to hit the 60% win mark year in and year out with our NFL and
college football selections, in the big picture few handicappers are
able to achieve this lofty goal on a consistent basis. I shake my
head in wonderment on how they get away with such outrageous claims
when I see the Saturday morning scam-you-cappers on TV or in the
advertisements listed in the USA Today newspaper touting win
percentages of 75% or 80% over the course of a season.
The simple truth is that only the very best handicappers
consistently produce seasonal results that fall within the 55% to
60% range much like we do here at footballforecastor.com year in and
year out, my advise to all clients is to use extreme discipline in
the amount of games you wager on each week, you must also adhere to
good money management techniques in order to get through the peaks
and valleys of a long season.
