Ice hockey isn’t the most popular sport to bet on for South African bettors, but if you’re tired of seeing small totals in soccer, maybe you should give Ice Hockey a try. YesPlay offers pre-match Ice Hockey lines, but is it a sport worth your time?
On The Menu
Ice hockey is found under Sports and then Prematch. There, you’ll see a bunch of games from leagues like the NHL, KHL, DEL, Czech Extraliga and the Swedish SHL. To see all upcoming Ice Hockey games simply go to https://yesplay.bet/sports/prematch/ice-hockey and you’ll see matches organized by country so you can easily find any name you might recognize.
Lines That Matter
When looking at a fixture, you’ll see three popular choices: 1×2 result, total goals, and handicap. With 1×2, you pick the winner. Total goals is when you bet on how many goals both teams will score combined. Lastly, the handicap lets you back the underdog by giving them a goal to start with. If you’re looking for something a bit different, hit the More markets link for extra options.
Also, watch out for the outright season lines, tagged with things like NHL 25/26 or KHL 25/26. These are long-term bets on who wins the trophy at the end of the season. A small bet of R29 at 9.50 odds could win you about R275 and keep you excited for months.
