St. Louis Blues Betting Odds — Types of Bets

If you have no experience with betting on ice hockey (or in general), read the following descriptions of the most popular betting options among NHL fans. All popular online sportsbooks feature most of the following markets.

Moneyline

Moneyline betting is one of the most popular forms of sports betting, particularly in hockey. It is a straightforward bet on which team will win a given game.

Let’s say the St. Louis Blues are locking horns with the Chicago Blackhawks, and the Blues are listed as the favourite with a Moneyline of -150. If you want to make a profit of $100, you’ll need to make a bet of $150 (negative odds).

The Blackhawks have +125, meaning they are an underdog, so you will win $125 if you make a $100 bet. Of course, you can switch the odds format and use fractional or decimal odds, but learn how they work first.

Moneyline betting is a simple and popular way to bet on hockey games, and it can be a good option for beginners or those looking for a quick and easy way to get in on the action.

60-Minute Line (Regulation Only)

Regulation-only betting is a hockey bet where the wager only applies to the game’s outcome at the end of regulation. In other words, the bet does not consider any overtime or shootout results that may occur if the game is tied after the third period.

You can bet on the St. Louis Blues or their opponent. However, there’s one more option: betting on a draw. That’s because the regular 60 minutes can end with an even score, and you can make a profit if that happens.

Puck Line (Point Spread)

In hockey betting, a puck line is a form of point-spread wagering similar to a run line in baseball betting. It involves betting on a team to either win by more than a certain number of goals or lose by less than a certain number, usually specified by the sportsbook (point spread).

A typical puck line bet will have the favourite team listed at -1.5, meaning they must win by at least two goals to cover the spread, while the underdog will be listed at +1.5, meaning they can lose by one goal and still cover the spread.

For example, let’s say the St. Louis Blues are playing the Chicago Blackhawks, and the puck line is listed at Blues -1.5 (+160) and Blackhawks +1.5 (-180). This means that if you bet on the Blues to cover the puck line, they must win by at least two goals for your bet to pay off.

Totals (Over/Under Bets)

Totals or over/under bets will let you predict whether the total combined number of goals in a match will be higher or lower than suggested by the betting site of your choice.

Let’s say the St. Louis Blues are playing the Chicago Blackhawks, and the sportsbook sets the total for the game at 5.5 goals. You can bet on the over or the under for the total number of goals scored in the game.

You can bet on the over if you believe the game will be a high-scoring affair. You win your bet if the Blues and the Blackhawks combined score six or more goals. If the final score is five or less, you lose your bet.

Futures (Outrights)

Futures or outrights are bets on the outcomes of tournaments, championships, MVP races, and other long-form contests. A good example would be betting on the winner of the Stanley Cup before the season starts.

Let’s say the odds of the Blues winning the Stanley Cup at the start of the season are +1200. This means that if you place a $100 futures bet on the Blues to win the Stanley Cup, and they end up winning the championship, your bet would pay out $1,200 plus your original $100 wager.

Futures bets typically have longer odds than traditional game bets but offer potentially higher payouts if the outcome you predicted comes true.

Parlays

A parlay is a type of sports wager where you combine multiple betting options into a single bet, with the potential for a higher payout. The more bet selections you add to your slip, the higher the payout. For example, you can bet on the Blue Notes to win the game with a total score of over 5.5. If you get both right, you’ll get paid.

Props Betting

Prop bets usually focus on specific events or occurrences within the game. For example, you can bet that the Blue Notes will be the first to score in a match or that the goalie will have a specific number of saves.

Sportsbooks may offer different prop bets for St. Louis Blues games, and the specific prop bets available can vary depending on the game and the circumstances surrounding it.

Live Betting

With live betting, you can place bets on a wide range of outcomes while a match is in progress. For example, you can watch the Blues play and place bets as the action unfolds. Sports betting sites usually feature new and exciting markets, where odds change as the game progresses.

Live betting can also be more challenging than traditional sports betting, as you need to be able to process information quickly and make informed decisions in a short amount of time.

Who Has the Best Odds on the St. Louis Blues?

No single site can always have the best odds on the St. Louis Blues or any other team. Certain platforms offer better odds for specific markets, so you’ll have to do a bit of “odds shopping” to find the best odds and place a bet.

In other words, you need to scan several sportsbooks at once, so it’s a good idea to register on a couple of them to be able to make a quick bet when the odds are good. Make sure to use odds comparison sites for a better overview.

St. Louis Blues History

The St. Louis Blues are a professional ice hockey team based in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. The team was founded in 1967 as part of the NHL’s first major expansion, which doubled the league’s size from six to twelve teams. The Blues were one of six new franchises added to the NHL that year, along with the California Seals (now the San Jose Sharks), the Los Angeles Kings, the Minnesota North Stars (now the Dallas Stars), the Philadelphia Flyers, and the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Blues got off to a strong start in their first season, finishing in third place in the NHL’s Western Division and making it to the Stanley Cup playoffs. Over the next few decades, the Blues would become a successful team, making the playoffs in 25 consecutive seasons from 1980 to 2004. However, despite their regular-season success, the team struggled to make it deep into the playoffs, never winning a Stanley Cup championship.

In recent years, the Blues have remained a competitive team in the NHL, with notable players including Vladimir Tarasenko, Ryan O’Reilly, and Jordan Binnington. The team finally broke their Stanley Cup drought in 2019, defeating the Boston Bruins in seven games to win their first championship in franchise history.
