Ice Hockey
A mainstream sport in many countries around the world, ice hockey is one of the major winter sports. National interest comes along at the big international competitions, with the gold medal at stake and other major hockey competitions like the World Juniors and the World Championships.One of the biggest ice hockey betting scenes is the race for the Stanley Cup in the NHL. It is the most-watched ice hockey competition in the world, featuring a long, arduous season and some of the most intense, highly skilled hockey around.
Odds based on the current state of play within a hockey match can be tracked with live odds. The NordicBet in-play betting platform is quick and user-friendly and includes in-game updates on stats.
The Champions Hockey League season features the best teams from across Europe, plus there are domestic leagues from across the continent for hockey bet options too.
Winter Sports Betting
Outright markets provide great options for winter sports odds. It could be a Slalom or Downhill 'Outright Winner' selection for the season. Most individual-based winter sports boast a large field of athletes, so selecting a skier to land in the 'Top 3' is a popular alternative to selecting a straight victor.The 'Without X' market provides winter odds on an event with a dominant favourite removed. As with any sport, all the disciplines of skiing or snowboarding, for example, have their favourites at the head of the market. But it only takes one little slip, one failed landing, to put that favouritism in jeopardy.
Curling can bring forward bet options like 'Correct Score', 'Handicaps', and 'Winning Margins'. For some winter sports like ice hockey a wide variety of betting odds, options can be found. 'Match Winner' options, 'Spreads', 'Moneyline', 'Handicaps', and 'Winning Margins' tally up to various ice hockey betting markets.
