Unless you’re a born and bred Canadian, chances are you haven’t even put on a pair of skates in your life. But that doesn’t mean you’re unqualified to bet on hockey.

It’s a really simple sport: put the puck in the net. Some teams are better at it than others. Also, some teams are much better at keeping the puck out of the net. If you do the math on the two goaltenders in a matchup, you’re already ahead of the game.

The betting side of things isn’t rocket science, either. It’s a lot like baseball betting; there’s the moneyline, and there’s the spread, which looks and cooks the same as the MLB runline. If you’re not a big fan of either, try the totals. These are very popular, since you don’t have to do too much math on the chalk; it’s usually hovering around the familiar –110. And you get to keep your teeth.
