While not one of the most popular sports in the UK, Ice Hockey definitely does have a niche – especially amongst betters. Although our own country-wide competitions may be comparatively low on quality, international Ice Hockey and the NHL offers a lot of high octane fun: and a prime chance to win money through gambling.

Review of Ice Hockey Leagues, Competitions and Offers at Betfair

Betfair, as one of the UK’s largest bookmakers, do of-course offer odds on Ice Hockey. Their top market, as to be expected, is the NHL – and at the time of writing their top market is Stanley Cup Winner, on which various bets have been matched. Unfortunately, for those looking for special markets or in-depth betting, there is little on offer: while the Premier League, for example, may have many different markets simply on each club, the lack of hunger from UK markets means that options for Ice Hockey betting is somewhat limited.

Once the season begins again – the NHL generally runs from October through to April – there will be a variety of ways to place your cash. Betfair works as a betting exchange, meaning that their Ice Hockey markets are fairly straightforward: you set your odds for betting for (backing), or betting against (laying), and wait for other players to take those odds offered. These are matched bets that can often compare favourably to other high street or online betting companies.

While they do support Ice Hockey betting, Betfair don’t seem to generally run any special offers for the sport. This is likely as it is deemed to much of a minority interest for the company to spend too much time on crafting these individual offers to such a small market. However, if the NHL is to grow over the coming years, this is likely to change – and the number of betting markets will likely grow with it, rather than being the small number it currently sits at on the exchange.
