Like any Senators fan who wants to take that extra step this season by placing an online wager, you’ll want to make sure your first bet on Senators is a positive experience.
It doesn’t matter if you are a new fan of Sénateurs d'Ottawa or you were first caught up in the "Bring Back the Senators" campaign back in the day, you’ll find everything you need in this guide. We’ll show you how to find and place your first bet in a safe environment with a reputable sportsbook.
Placing a bet on the Sens is a reasonably straightforward process, as many online sportsbooks have a very similar process for placing a wager. To avoid any rookie errors though, here is a brief overview of what is involved. Most betting sites will work left to right, so you will see the available sports displayed on the left hand side. As one of the bigger sports leagues, the NHL will typically be somewhere near the top of that list.
Selecting NHL will show you all of the available fixtures - and, of course, you’ll be looking for the Sens. You’ll find them in the fixtures along with the Ottawa Redblacks betting options and those of the other NHL teams.
Don’t get started just yet, as there are plenty of markets and odds you need to look through. They could be for upcoming fixtures, live events, and depending on the time of year, it might also have the Senators draft odds listed as well. You also need to decide which type of bet you want to place, as there are several options. If you are not sure what is available here are some examples:
Type of Bet | What to expect |
---|---|
Moneyline | You’ll probably want to start here. A moneyline bet is simply betting on the Sens (or any other team) to win the game. There is a variation of this called ‘60 minute line’, which does not account for overtime. |
Over/Under | As the name suggests, you will be wagering on whether the number of goals will be under/over a given amount. This is usually displayed as numbers like 5.5 or 6.5 so there are no drawn bets. |
Futures | These are bets that will be resolved in the longer term, like placing a bet on Senators at the start of the season to end up as champions. |
Puckline | This works like a handicap, where your wager is based on the premise that the underdog in the game has 1.5 goals more than the score shows. |
Prop bets | These are bets that are on more peripheral matters, like who will score first, or how many penalties there might be. |
Parlay Bets | A Parlay bet is placing more than one selection on the same bet, for instance the Sens to win, and there will be over 5.5 goals scored in the game. The overall odds here are higher as both selections would have to come off for you to win. |
Now you know the types of bet involved, you need a bit more information on how to go about it. These rules would also apply for ensuring you have a safe experience if you were checking out the Hamilton Tiger betting odds, or any other team for that matter.
When you start wagering, obviously never bet more than you can afford to lose, but also start small until you are confident about the processes involved. Even then, most savvy betters don’t commit more than 2-5% of their sportsbook balance on any one wager.
On Canadian sites, you will see (or can select) odds in either decimal or American format. These look very different, so learn what these mean before you place your first bet.
