Hockey betting: how to make accurate predictions

Hockey is one of the most gruelling sports: it is played on ice by people who are not afraid of the cold and are ready to fight at any moment when they see injustice on the part of their opponents. The score in hockey changes more often than in football, but not as often as in basketball, because every mistake has a huge impact on the game. In short, the reasons for hockey's popularity are obvious, and at 22Bet you can bet on any of the 250 or so scheduled events.

Features of hockey betting

Hockey is a very dynamic game: in 60 minutes of playing time, opponents can score up to ten goals between them, with the gap between two changes in the score being literally a minute or even less. In addition, the coach has the right to change the entire team completely, radically turning the game upside down. All this should be kept in mind, because sometimes completely unexpected twists and turns are possible.

When betting on hockey at 22Bet, remember that the most important player in hockey is the main goalkeeper: if he is injured, this will inevitably affect the outcome. In addition, hockey players in major leagues can play every day, and this definitely affects their form: a tired athlete will not be able to perform at their best, and even the slightest injury can result in them missing several matches.

Popular types of bets

For the best hockey matches, our establishment offers a solid line-up, sometimes exceeding 1,000 markets, and the most popular choices among 22Bet customers are the following bets:

match/period outcome - determine the winner of the entire match or any third, with the latter having a slightly higher probability of a mini-sensation;
total goals - more or less than a certain number of goals will be scored by the opponents in total (only the goals of one team are counted in the individual total);
performance of one player - a bet that your chosen star will score a goal in a single match.

Tips for successful betting

If you want to win at hockey betting, forget about guessing or always betting on the favourite! Instead, 22Bet offers detailed statistics on previous matches between opponents right on our website – this will help you understand who is currently in top form, who is in decline, and who is traditionally a difficult opponent for whom. Take into account the game calendar and the difficulty of away games: if one of the teams does not have time to train, barely finding time for games between endless flights, this can be a big problem for them.

Finally, here’s some universal advice that’s useful for all bettors, regardless of their preferred sport: take care of your bankroll and never bet it all at once – this will allow you to recover even if you lose. If you lose, pull yourself together: trying to win back your losses immediately by betting on anything and everything almost always makes the situation worse.
