With the NHL betting season starting, now is as good a time as any to discuss the basics in how to set up your NHL betting strategies. Hockey handicapping is very similar to MLB handicapping in that it mostly deals with money-lines. That means when making hockey picks, you’re mostly looking at picking a straight up winner opposed to hoping the team covers a pointspread to win your hockey pick. Some hockey handicappers will look to get a better return on their investment and play the puck-line. The puck-line in NHL betting is very similar to the run-line in MLB in that the team you make a hockey pick on has to win by at least two goals, or lose by just one to cash your NHL betting ticket.

Now that you have an idea of the specific types of NHL betting wagers you can make when hockey handicapping, let’s take a look at some strategies you should take to see your bankroll flourish throughout the remainder of the NHL betting Playoffs.
