Learn about beginner hockey bets!

 The bite of the chilly air in the arena, the sound of slush as freshly sharpened skates hit the surface, the gleam of the recently paved ice - hockey season is back in full force and the BetRivers Sportsbook is your game day destination to watch all the matchups!

Our PA BetRivers location is home to plenty of sports betting opportunities for all our hockey fans. In this sportsbook blog, we’re going to go over easy ways to wager - and hopefully win - on hockey! The most beginner bet for anyone looking to participate in sportsbook betting, is the moneyline bet. Similarly, to how it was previously described in both our basketball blog and baseball blog, the moneyline bet is making a wager on what team you think will win the game. If you’re interested in becoming more familiar with the bets that are made at a sports casino, this is a great place to start.

Another bet you’re able to make when participating in casino sports betting is the puck line bet. The puck line is similar to a point spread. If you want to learn more about the point spread in sports like basketball or baseball, you can read our other sportsbook blogs. When it comes to hockey puck line bets, the favorite is almost always at -1.5 goals and the underdog is almost always at +1.5 goals. This is because hockey is a low-scoring sport. This is not a wager on who will win the game, but rather how much they will win by.

Another fun bet to make at our Philadelphia sportsbook is the over/under bet. For the over/under bet, a sportsbook will assign a total number of points for each hockey game. You can make a wager on whether or not the combined final score will either be over or under that number. If you bet the over, you want more goals to be scored and vice versa if you bet the under.

Hockey is just another sport where you can bet on sports in Philadelphia! Try your hand at betting on sports at the BetRivers Sportsbook located in Rivers Casino Philadelphia. We’ll see you when the puck drops!
