NHL mobile betting was long an afterthought when compared to American sports leagues like the NFL, MLB, and NBA. That is quickly changing, however, due to a number of reasons, including nationally televised games, special events like the Winter Classic and Stadium Series, and an influx of young, talented players such as Jonathan Toews, Sidney Crosby, Patrick Kane, Drew Doughty, Alex Ovechkin, and more. The NHL league itself is enjoying an unprecedented popularity in itself, but NHL wagering is on a meteoric rise. One factor leading to an increase in hockey betting is daily fantasy sports where people are paying attention to the NHL on an everyday basis. Beyond that, the ability to do NHL mobile wagering means every night there is an opportunity to make money no matter where you are. U.S. punters can get in on the action using traditional U.S. bookmakers or the new breed of bitcoin sports betting sites. Many gamblers will profess that the NHL is their 'go-to' source to build their bankroll and have long term betting success. The simple fact is that, although the National Hockey League is more trendy than ever, there are still less public bettors that will sway a line. This means you can find legitimate value in an NHL line and not one that is simply an example of oddsmakers taking advantage of 'Joe Public.' Of course, in order to take advantage of this you need to learn a bit more about NHL mobile betting. Intro to NHL Mobile Betting If you have a grasp of MLB Android/iOS betting you're already a step ahead in learning how to bet on the NHL with your smartphone. This is because the overall odds and scores in hockey are very similar to baseball. Scores are traditionally very low and outcomes are largely determined by the performance of one player. You'll pick a baseball team based on the starting pitcher while in NHL mobile betting it's your goaltender that is largely going to produce a win or a loss. Of course, betting on the better goaltender (like the MLB pitcher) comes at a price with the moneyline often requiring a bet of $180 to $270 or more just to win $100. In the same way that baseball offers a run line, NHL Android wagering offers a puck line bet – which is essentially the 'spread' that you'd find in basketball or football betting. What the puck line boils down to is having confidence in the Detroit Red Wings or St. Louis Blues winning by -1.5 instead of by just one goal. The payout is much better on a puck line bet, but it also means an overtime game or winning by one goal is a lost wager. Many bettors prefer the higher risk of a moneyline bet for no other reason than to avoid the agony of 'winning, yet losing' by 2-1 or 3-2. NHL Mobile Bet Types You Can Make on an iPhone or Android The iPhone and Android NHL betting basics are picking just the winner (moneyline) or really, really picking the winner by -1.5 goals (puck line). Of course, these are far from the only NHL wagers you can make, and in terms of puck line bets they can also be utilized on the +1.5 goal side. Taking the +1.5 underdog will cost you more, but it also increases your chances of covering in an NHL game decided by one goal (which is very frequent). Another very popular type of bet for those doing NHL mobile sports betting is the total. Just like in other sports, you're betting on whether the total goals scored in a game go 'over' or 'under' the set line. An interesting thing about NHL mobile gambling is that you can also wager on the 'grand salami' which is whether the totals of all that night's games go over or under. You're essentially betting on all the games with a single wager. Mobile betting on NHL hockey also offers the ability to wager on just the 1st period or take overtime out of the equation with a 'regulation time' bet. Props, parlays, and spreads beyond the puck line (-2.5 or -3.5 goals) are just a few more of the wager types that makes NHL iPhone betting so exciting. Tips for NHL Mobile Betting Success One of your best opportunities for NHL android gambling success lies in finding a solid goaltender. If you've ever heard the term 'standing on his head' it means a goalie almost single-handedly won the game by stopping every shot sent his way. The best way to find top goaltenders is by looking at most recent results (5 games) as well as career splits vs. a certain team as well as home/away. Schedule is another important factor in mobile hockey gambling. Hockey teams, like NBA squads, play multiple games a week all around the U.S and in Canada. A particular team might be ending a 3 games in 5 nights or the 2nd night of a back-to-back situation while their opponents may have been resting for 3-4 nights. It's not always the better team that wins, sometimes just the most rested. As with any sport study your recent trends, evaluate the injury report, and look at past results against a team to find your best chances of building your bankroll via NHL wagering using the latest iOS, Windows Phone or Android devices..
