DEL betting

The Deutsche Eishockey Liga is Germany's top hockey league. The regular season runs from September to March, then the playoffs decide the German champion.

A game level after 60 minutes goes to overtime and a shootout, so the three-way regular-time result and the winner including overtime are two different bets.

Markets you usually see

• Match result - home, draw or away after regular time.
• Winner including overtime - which team wins, however the game ends.
• Puck line - a handicap, usually a goal and a half.
• Total goals - over or under a line of goals.
