Total betting strategies in the Line
All the listed types of total bets can be found in the Line section. During the match, odds for all totals change. Therefore, bets placed before the match may win at higher odds than those placed during the game. However, total bets in the Line require careful work with statistical data.
For example, for the NHL match between the Washington Capitals and the Carolina Hurricanes, the Line shows average odds of 1.768 for TO 5.5 and 2.175 for TU 5.5.
At the time of the match, the Washington Capitals had the following statistics:
- Average goals scored per match – 3.16;
- Average goals conceded per match – 2.80;
- Win/loss ratio – 28/18 (1.5).
At the time of the match, the Carolina Hurricanes had the following statistics:
- Average goals scored per match – 3.47;
- Average goals conceded per match – 2.38;
- Win/loss ratio – 37/11 (3.36).

At that moment, the Washington Capitals ranked 8th in the Eastern Conference. Last 5 games statistics:
- Nashville Predators 1:4 Washington Capitals;
- Philadelphia Flyers 3:5 Washington Capitals;
- New York Rangers 4:1 Washington Capitals;
- Philadelphia Flyers 2:1 Washington Capitals;
- Washington Capitals 3:5 Toronto Maple Leafs.
At that moment, the Carolina Hurricanes ranked 1st in the Eastern Conference. Last 5 games statistics:
- Pittsburgh Penguins 3:4 Carolina Hurricanes;
- Philadelphia Flyers 3:4 Carolina Hurricanes (win achieved in overtime);
- Carolina Hurricanes 4:0 Columbus Blue Jackets;
- Carolina Hurricanes 2:1 Edmonton Oilers;
- Detroit Red Wings 4:3 Carolina Hurricanes (win achieved in overtime).
Thus, Washington came into the game against the Eastern Conference leader with a losing streak (3 losses). Carolina had just lost their last game in overtime, and another loss could reduce the gap between first and second place to a single point.
Therefore, bookmakers favored a Carolina win over Washington (odds 2.165 versus 2.768).
Carolina scored fewer than 4 goals in only one of their four recent wins. Washington scored only one goal in away losses and three goals in a home loss. But since Carolina’s average goals conceded is 2.38, it can be assumed that even in defeat, Washington will manage to score 2 goals.
Let’s assume the match ends 4:2. Based on this prediction, the following bets could be placed:
- Total Over 5.5 – 1.768;
- Individual total 1st team Over 1.5 – 1.21;
- Individual total 2nd team Over 3.5 – 2.5;
- Second team win + total 5.5 – 1.2.
These bets can be combined into an accumulator with total odds of: 1.768×1.21×2.5×1.2 = 6.417.
The following totals don’t depend on the final match score, but we’ll base calculations on a 4:2 result:
- Second team win + second team total Over 3.5 – 3.1;
- Individual total 1st period – yes – 1.85;
- Individual total 2nd period – yes – 1.85;
- Individual total of the first team + exact number of goals (Yes – 2) – 3.9;
- Individual total of the second team + exact number of goals (Yes – 4) – 5.3.
Thus, bets were placed on a productive Carolina Hurricanes victory with a score of 4:2 or higher. Suppose each bet is placed for 1000 ₽. The total stake across all bets is 9000 ₽. If the match ends 4:2, the payout will be: 6417 + 3100 + 1850 + 1850 + 3900 + 5300 = 22,417 ₽ (net profit 13,417 ₽). If the final score is higher than 4:2, the last bets won’t win, reducing the total return to 13,217 ₽ (net profit decreases to 4,217 ₽). In case of a loss, you lose 9000 ₽.
Conclusions
- The total betting strategy requires extreme attention to statistical data processing.
- The more statistical data analyzed, the more accurate the forecast will be.
- A successful prediction can bring over 100% profit from a single package of bets.
- Even a thorough statistical analysis doesn’t guarantee accurate predictions for hockey matches. For instance, in the Washington Capitals vs. Carolina Hurricanes game, the hosts crushed the visitors 4:0.
- The betting strategy requires a large bankroll to compensate for losses from unsuccessful forecasts.
