That black puck flying on the ice looks like a small black dot. But make no mistake! That small, hard thing could change your bet in the blink of an eye.
Betting on Ice Hockey is a totally different ball game than betting on soccer. Many South African punters already know that bets are counted only for the first 90 minutes in soccer, but in Ice Hockey the trap is around regulation time, overtime, and shootouts. If you miss that line, then you might end up being mistaken about your ticket even when you picked the better team to bet on.
Ice rule
If you are into sports, keep in mind that YesPlay has ice hockey under their Sports section, the same as soccer or rugby. You can check this if you want to see the ice hockey page and the latest listed games.
The most important thing to remember is the wording.
In ice hockey, there are three periods of 20 minutes each. If the score is still the same after all three periods, then they go into overtime. And if overtime does not change anything, then a shootout follows that. As per YesPlay rules, all ice hockey bets include overtime and shootouts unless stated otherwise. If the game goes to a shootout, then one goal gets added to the winning team’s score amount.
Ticket checks
Before you Bet on ice hockey on YesPlay, check if everything is in order first.
· If the market offers a draw, it probably means that the bet will be settled at regulation time.
· Read the market name carefully before placing your wager. 2-Way and 3-Way markets are not the same thing.
· It’s possible for Totals to include overtime, depending on the market wording.
· Handicaps can be confusing, so don’t think too much about that “team to take it” idea in your head.
· If a game is stopped early, YesPlay will have certain rules in place, one of them being that the game has to resume within a certain period of time.
· Just because the soccer market is easy to predict and bet on, doesn’t mean you can do the same with Ice Hockey. Think twice before you bet your house.
