Hockey betting
Among the most popular bets in hockey are several options: outcomes, totals and handicaps. Strong underestimation of bettors goes to this type of bets as “double chance”:
- not losing to the receiving party – 1X;
- there will be no draw – 12;
- not a loss of the visiting team – 2X.
This underestimation is a big mistake for betting fans. Experienced bettors have developed a number of strategies based on the “double chance”. Not all of them can be attributed to the number of working and promising ones, allowing them to gradually gain a profit at a distance, but sometimes interesting developments come across. We will consider several such theories in this review and start with the rarest bet – “12”, a game against a draw result.

The essence of the strategy
In line for a hockey match, many bookmakers set odds on the outcomes within each period, where a “12” bet means there will be no draw. Quotes for such an outcome rarely exceed 1.6, so you should choose an event according to a strictly detected pattern. What is it?
Players with experience in hockey betting noticed that it is extremely rare that all three periods of one match end in a draw, and if a draw was recorded at the first two stages of the meeting, then in the final 20 minutes you can safely bet on “12”.
In one of the matches of the German championship, the score was 1: 1 each time, but in the third period the hosts outplayed the guests with a score of 3: 1. And now we have come to the second important point: it is necessary to choose a confrontation, where a clear favorite meets a complete outsider on the home arena, this is where the indicated pattern most often occurs.
The favorite snatches victory in the final 20 minutes with a world total after the first two periods for several reasons:
- the outsider simply ran out of strength and the game speed dropped;
- the favorite of the meeting, on the contrary, intensifies the onslaught, inflating the speed so as not to lose points at home in the fight against a weak opponent.
Experienced bettors recommend using the “Ladder” theory in parallel. Its essence is extremely simple. The user bets 1,000 rubles in one of the duels against a draw at a coefficient of 1.4. If he wins, he gets 1400 rubles. Next time he bets all 1400 rubles. If he wins, he puts the entire previously won amount on the next bet. Each bettor himself determines how many steps, stages his “ladder” consists of, after which a new one must be started.
Do not think that the proposed theory will win in every case, there will be misfires, just the number of wins will exceed the number of losses. And in the case presented above, the bet did not go through largely for one reason – the outsider accepted the favorite at the home arena. Better to choose the opposite options.

Homes not losing bets
Everyone understands that there is no point in betting on the loss of one of the leaders of the championship, playing at the home arena, because the odds are too low. Home tours of underestimated middle peasants and outsiders should be closely scrutinized when there is an unjustifiably overestimated coefficient on “1X”.
Here you can see how in one match day, in parallel in the German championship and the KHL, there were three suitable matches, where the home team was greatly underestimated, which is why the odds for his victoria increased quite well and exceeded 3. And in all three cases the middle peasants did not lose in the main time, which allowed us to win on good quotes, where “1X” gave from 1.8 to 2.1. Due to such high numbers at a distance, you can go into a good plus, strictly following several rules:
- a crisis leader comes to visit a strong middle peasant who is in good shape, but young bettors, by inertia, heavily load his victoria;
- a strong middle peasant comes to visit a strong homely average peasant, demonstrating not the best move at the moment;
- the hosts' motivation goes off scale to win when an approximately equal opponent comes to visit, but located a little higher in the standings – this is the most popular situation when playing according to the theory being studied.
In this match, Spartak needed a nosebleed victory, the team lagged behind an absolutely equal opponent by several points. The hosts approached this fight with overwhelming motivation, but the bettors heavily loaded Jokerit. This made it possible to put forward a promising bet on not losing to the hosts in regulation time at a good odds – 1.7-1.8. As a result, the bet played out.
All this suggests one thing: the success of the theory largely depends on the quality of the pre-match analysis.

The strategy of betting on not losing guests
It's hard to bet on the guests not to lose, “2X”, when the bookmaker has set a high coefficient on their victoria or it has increased due to a strong load on the victory of the hosts. For this reason, many users are psychologically afraid to choose this type of bet.
But in hockey there is one regularity that allows you to make promising bets: when a strong middle peasant, placing a strong emphasis on tight defense, experiences a small game crisis, and the same strong middle peasants come to visit him, most of the time in such matches often ends in a draw or in victoria guests. The main thing is that the owners do not have a powerful motivating factor, which may arise for the following reasons:
- in an extreme home game that took place 1-2 days ago, the hosts lost with an indecent score;
- equal rivals met 1-2 weeks ago, and the hosts of the upcoming fight lost – the motivation to recoup is simply off scale.
These are the results of Barys, who has been in a small crisis for a certain time. The results of the matches shown speak for themselves.
Summing up
The theories discussed above show that success in them is possible on the basis of deep and laborious analytical pre-match work, for which not all bettors are ready. Many people do not want to spend time analyzing and making frequent winning bets. But in betting, success comes only on the basis of hard work, otherwise you won't be able to win with “double chances”.
