Match Odds Explained
As with soccer betting there are pre-match betting markets based on the performance of the teams and individuals regarding the number of goals and the results. There are also added markets not generally available in soccer betting based on the “tie” (draw). Because Ice-hockey rules insist on a “winner” there is betting available (like soccer) in cup competitions with over-time and a shoot-out. There are also statistic based betting markets and of course handicap betting too. Markets maybe divided into “pre-match betting” markets, 1st period, 2nd period and 3rd period betting markets.
