Which games promise to be the most exciting?

Whistles. That’s a tough one. There are so many high-caliber teams taking the ice that you could argue that the bookies are going to have a difficult time setting odds for these matchups. We are particularly intrigued to see how Austria will fare this time around. For a nation that bleeds Red Bull, we are expecting a stronger showing from them than they’ve shown in years past. Sweden won gold last year and they’re always a force to be reckoned with. The North American contingent of Canada and the USA reached last year’s semifinals and are poised for another deep run. Of particular betting interest, we think you should know that Switzerland does not run the risk of relegation this year as they are hosting next year’s World Championship. The Table below shows each team’s medal count in the 82-season history of the event. Russia’s 27 gold medals can easily dazzle the eyes, but remember 22 of those came during the Soviet Union era.

What are the advantages of Bettingformat’s odds comparison feature?

The most distinct advantage our odds comparison feature offers is the ability to see the betting odds that offer you the best price-to-payout ratio available at any given time. Our service continuously monitors and organizes the odds supplied by all bookmakers in our portfolio (74 and counting). The numbers provided by the bookmakers say a lot, but our in-house experts take it one step further by writing analyses, predicting match outcomes and suggesting lucrative betting options independent of any particular bookie. We are beholden to none; we simply present you with the biggest bang for your puck (so to speak). Feel free to jump over to our Betting Tips and read the experts’ take on the IIHF World Championships.

When is the perfect time to compare the odds?

Needless to say, we recommend you check the bookmakers’ odds one last time immediately before placing your bet. The odds can very well change right up until the last second before the puck drops, so stay on your toes. Currently, Bettingformat does not offer live-betting odds comparison, as we feel that would impair the reader’s enjoyment of our content. Because the tournament is quite a short one (only 16 days), don’t expect too much in the way of soccer-style team drama, but injuries and sickness can happen which could dramatically alter a team’s chance for claiming the gold.

Conclusion

In the final analysis, we heartily recommend that you get in the habit of regularly checking the odds here on Bettingformat. It’s your money, so why would you place a bet with odds of 1.70 when you can plainly see another bookmaker offer 2.10? We urge you to spend a little time and investigate the many resources available to you here at Bettingformat. Our years of experience in both sports-betting and reviewing betting providers has provided us with a powerful one-two punch that we cheerfully pass along to you! Don’t forget to check our bookmaker reviews and bonus reviews when you’re in the market for a new bookie or two. As always, GOOD LUCK!
