In the UK, I like that you can betting on NHL hockey This market suits players who expect dominant play or tight defence. For example, betting on a clear favourite, such as Florida, to win comfortably against a weak team offers a higher return on the puck line than betting on a shorter line. Conversely, in evenly matched games, betting on the underdog +1.5 can be a stable strategy, as NHL games often end with a one-goal difference.
