It’s easy to tell which of your South African mates like to watch hockey late at night. It’s always super quiet, the ice rink looks very cold, and the goals always come in bunches. If you’re a soccer fan during the day, then hockey can be your perfect nighttime guilty pleasure. Hockey always rewards focus with short bursts of action.
Find it
YesPlay lists ice hockey under the Sports section, with pre-match markets grouped by competitions, like the NHL for the United States and Canada, as well as leagues from Europe, like KHL, SHL, DEL, and the Czech Extraliga. In order to skip between countries, simply use the tournament bar. If you want to learn more about YesPlay and everything they offer before you start betting, you can read more about it on their pre-match page.
What’s on offer
Decimal pre-match prices make things simple and the main options are right in your face when you open the page. If you like betting on regulation-time outcomes, then use 1×2. If you like betting on total goals, then click on totals. Each fixture comes with a More Markets hub, where you can find what you’re looking for with ease. It’s wise to keep an eye on the timing filters such as one hour, three hours, or twelve hours, especially if you’re betting on your lunch break at work. You can stake in Rands to keep things simple, and remember, if you’re betting singles, stay away from round numbers. A stake of R47 at 2.12 or R61 at 1.86 is going to tell you a lot more about your edge than neat hundreds.
Rule to note
YesPlay’s hockey rules clearly explain how overtime and shootouts are going to work. Unless it’s said otherwise, all bets are paid out at the end of the game, and a goal is added to the winner’s score if a shootout ends up being needed. The games need to be finished within a specific period in order for bets to stand, but if the market has already been decided then you can still get paid out. Cash Out is explained in detail in the rules, so instead of using it as a panic button, why not make it a part of your strategy?
