Betting on totals allows a bettor to cheer for the overall game as opposed to just one team. Over/Under bets are extremely popular, and some bettors play totals exclusively. If we bet on the Over, we’re cheering for goals if we’re on the Under, we’re rooting for the goaltenders. Bettors will wager on whether or not the final combined score of the game will be Under or Over that set number. In NHL Over/Unders, sportsbooks set a total number for each game - usually between 5.5 and 6.5. In this guide I'll teach you the ins and outs of Over/Under betting and will explain several key factors to consider before making your wager.
Betting on the total amount of goals scored is often the best bet when you aren't sure which team will win a given NHL game.
