Hockey betting basics in 1xBet India

Hockey is one of the most dynamic and exciting sports, which makes it attractive for betting enthusiasts. First, you should be well-versed in the rules of hockey, the format of tournaments and the peculiarities of specific leagues and championships. This will help you better understand what is happening on the ice and make more informed decisions when choosing bets.

It is also important to learn how to analyse the statistics of teams and players – such indicators as the number of scored and missed pucks, the percentage of the majority, the reliability of goalkeepers, etc. This information will give an idea of the current form and capabilities of the teams.

Another key factor is motivation. It is necessary to assess how important the upcoming match is for each team, consider the tournament position, history of personal meetings, injuries and disqualifications of players.

Finally, it is important to manage your bankroll wisely and stick to your chosen strategy. You should not bet on every match and increase the number of bets in pursuit of a quick win.

Types of hockey bets available at 1xBet in India

The main types of hockey bets available at 1xBet:

Betting on the outcome of a match. This is the simplest and most popular type of betting, where you must guess the winner of the game. In hockey, there are three possible outcomes – a win for one of the teams or a draw.
Betting with a handicap. Bookmaker’s give a handicap to one of the teams, expressed in pucks. The bet wins if the team with a handicap wins. This allows you to equalise the odds in matches with a clear favourite.
Betting on total. In this case, you need to guess whether the total number of pucks in the match will be more or less than the value offered by the bookmaker. It is also possible to bet on the individual total of the teams.
Betting on the exact score. One of the riskiest, but also potentially profitable options. You need to correctly predict the final score of the match.
Betting on statistics. 1xBet offers many betting options on statistical indicators – number of goals, penalty time, shots on goal, etc.
Betting on individual periods. You can bet not only on the outcome of the whole match but also on the winner or the total of individual periods.
Live betting. This option allows you to place bets during the game while the odds change depending on the developments on the ice.

1xBet often offers special bets on significant tournaments, such as the top scorer or MVP of the NHL playoffs.

Betting on the outcome of the match at 1xBet in India

Betting on the outcome of the match is the simplest and most popular type of hockey betting at 1xBet. In this case, the player must guess how the main time of the match will end – with a victory of one of the teams or a draw.

In hockey, unlike some other sports, a draw is a common result. Therefore, the odds for the teams to win are usually higher than in football or basketball.

When betting on the outcome, it is important to consider the current form and motivation of the teams, the history of personal meetings, line-ups and injuries of key players. You should also pay attention to the standings – if one of the teams is solving important tasks in the championship or Cup, and the other has no tournament prospects, it can significantly affect the result.

In addition, the home ice factor plays a big role in hockey. Home teams win more often, so bookmakers usually give lower odds on their success.

1xBet offers betting on the outcome for the whole match and for individual periods. This can be an interesting option if you expect one of the teams to be more active in a certain period of play.

Betting with a handicap at 1xBet India

Betting with a handicap is a type of hockey betting at 1xBet, which allows you to equalise the chances of teams in unequal matches. A handicap is expressed in the number of pucks, which are conditionally added to or subtracted from the result of one of the teams.

If your bet on the favourite with a -1.5 handicap, for example, it means that the team must win by 2 or more pucks to win your bet. Betting on the underdog with +1.5 will be played if the underdog loses by a margin of 1 puck or wins.

The size of the handicap and the corresponding odds are determined by the bookmaker based on the difference in the class of the teams. The stronger the favourite is, the bigger the margin and the lower the odds of his victory.

At 1xBet there are bets with integer and fractional odds available. In the first instance, in case of a certain result (e.g. a win by exactly 1 puck at ±1), the bet is calculated as a return. Fractional odds (±1.5, ±2.5, etc.) exclude the possibility of a return, but usually have higher odds.

Betting with a handicap can be interesting in matches where there is a clear favourite, but you are not sure that he will win big. Or vice versa, if you believe that the underdog can provide a worthy resistance and not be defeated.

Betting on total at 1xBet in India

In this case, the player must predict whether the total number of goals scored in the match will be more or less than a certain value offered by the bookmaker. For example, if the bookmaker has set a total of 5.5, a bet on “more” (TB 5.5) will win if the teams score 6 or more pucks. A bet on “less” (TM 5.5) will be played if 5 or fewer pucks are scored.

As in the case of a handicap, totals can be integer or fractional. With a whole total (5, 6, etc.), an exact match between the number of goals and the total will result in a return of the bet. A fractional total (5.5, 6.5, etc.) excludes a draw.

At 1xBet you can bet not only on the total of the match but also on the individual total of each team. This can be useful if you expect a high-scoring game from one team and a low-scoring match from the other.

Betting on the exact score at 1xBet India

Betting on the exact score is one of the riskiest, but at the same time potentially profitable types of hockey bets at 1xBet. Here, the player needs to correctly predict the final score of the match, which, given the unpredictability of hockey, is a very difficult task.

Odds on the exact score are usually very high, especially for results with many pucks. For example, a bet on a 5:4 score can have odds of 50 or even 100. This means that with the right prediction, you can get impressive winnings even with a small bet amount.

However, the probability of accurately predicting the final score is extremely low. In hockey, too many factors influence the result, including individual skill of players, luck, referee decisions, etc. Therefore, betting on the exact score is more suitable for those who love risk and adrenaline than for those who are looking for a stable income.

However, some strategies can increase your chances of success. First, you should focus on the most likely scores based on the team’s statistics and current form. Results like 1:0, 2:1, 3:2 happen much more often than 5:4 or 6:5.

It also makes sense to analyse the history of personal meetings between the teams. Some rivals traditionally play efficiently, others – more closed. This can help narrow down the range of potential scores.

Betting on statistics at 1xBet

Betting on statistics is an interesting option for those who like to analyse numbers and look for patterns. 1xBet offers a wide range of statistical bets on hockey matches, which allows you to find good opportunities even in games where the outcome seems to be a foregone conclusion.

Some popular types of betting on statistics at 1xBet:

Betting on the number of goals of a particular player or team – you can bet that a certain player will score a goal, a double or a hat trick. Equally, it may predict the range of goals for each team.
Betting on the performance of the periods – you can guess in which period more goals will be scored or bet on the exact number of pucks in each game segment.
Betting on penalty time – 1xBet allows you to bet on the number of penalties or the total number of penalty minutes for both individual players and teams.
Betting on shots on goal – you can predict which team will take the most shots or bet on a specific range of shots for each team.
Betting on goalkeeper statistics such as number of saves or percentage of shots deflected.

The advantage of betting on statistics is that the result of the match is not always important. Even if the favourite unexpectedly loses, your bet on his goals or shots may play out.

Betting on individual periods at 1xBet

In such bets, you need to predict the result of a specific part of the game rather than the whole match. This can be useful if you expect one of the teams to dominate a certain part of the game.

In hockey, a match is divided into three periods of 20 minutes each.

At 1xBet you can bet on the outcome, total, forfeit and exact score of each of these periods:

Betting on the outcome of a period – you must guess which team will win a particular period or whether there will be a draw. This can be useful if you know that one of the teams traditionally starts or finishes matches well.
Betting on the period total – you predict whether the total number of goals in the period will be more or less than a certain value. For example, the bet “1st period total over 1.5” will be played if 2 or more pucks are scored in the first period.
Betting on a handicap in a period. The principle is the same as in betting on the whole match, but the result is calculated only for the selected period.
Betting on the exact score of the period – this is the riskiest, but potentially the most profitable option. It is necessary to correctly predict with what score a particular period will end.

The advantage of betting on periods is that they allow you to win even if the result of the match is “wrong”. For example, if you bet on the outsider to win the first period, and he leads after 20 minutes, but eventually loses the match, your bet will still be played.

Hockey tournaments available for betting at 1xBet in India

1xBet offers a wide range of hockey tournaments for betting – from the top international leagues to lesser-known national championships.

The NHL is the strongest hockey league in the world, where the best players from all over the planet play. The regular season, the All-Star Game and the Stanley Cup traditionally attract a lot of attention from betting enthusiasts.
The KHL is the leading Eurasian league, featuring clubs from Russia, Kazakhstan, China and Belarus. KHL matches are unpredictable and often provide interesting betting options.
World Championships and Olympic Games are the main international tournaments for national teams. There is always a high level of competition and great interest from fans and bettors.
European leagues – Swedish SHL, Finnish Liiga, Swiss NLA, German DEL and other European national championships. These tournaments are often underestimated by players but can offer favourable odds.
The Canadian junior leagues are the WHL, OHL and QMJHL, where young talent plays before making it to the NHL. The games in these leagues are very high scoring and unpredictable.
The NCAA is college hockey in the USA, which is often as good as the professional leagues. Young and ambitious hockey players play, which adds spice to the matches.

In addition, 1xBet offers bets on lesser-known leagues – for example, the championships of Norway, Denmark, Great Britain, Poland and even Australia.

Hockey betting strategies

Betting on the underdog. Hockey is a game where sensations happen more often than in other sports. By betting on underdogs with high odds, you can make a solid profit even with a small percentage of probability.
Draw betting. In hockey, draws happen quite often, especially in matches of equal opponents. Bookmakers usually give high odds on a draw, so such bets can be profitable.
Live betting on total. Watch the match and estimate the probability of goals based on the current picture of the game. If the teams create a lot of chances, it makes sense to bet on the total more. If the game is viscous and there are few chances, bet on the total less.
Total catch-up. If you are sure that the match will be successful (or on the contrary, a draw), you can bet on the same total several times in a row, increasing the bet amount after each loss. This is a risky strategy that requires a large bank and strict discipline.
Betting on periods. Analyse how teams play in different periods. Some are better at starting matches, others are stronger at the end. Betting on the outcomes or totals of periods can be profitable if you find a pattern.
Forks and corridors. Look for situations where the odds at 1xBet and other betting shops allow you to make break-even or low-risk bets on all possible outcomes. This requires a quick response and accounts at several BCs.
