How to bet on the Jets: Props, parlays and puck lines

The Winnipeg Jets have developed one of the NHL’s most passionate fan bases.

One reason why Jets fans have a strong connection with their team is because of the club’s offence-first style of play behind forwards like Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler. That has helped the team consistently reach the playoffs in recent seasons as a threat out of the Western Conference.

With single-game betting legalized in Canada, now is the time to take your game experience to the next level and put some money behind your favourite teams, like the Jets.

There are several different ways to bet on Winnipeg every night it plays, whether you are looking to wager on a win or for Wheeler to score. We’ll break down the best options in this Jets betting guide.

When looking to wager on the Jets, you’ll notice a number of different offerings made available to you. Before placing that bet, there will be a number of factors you will have to consider, such as the opponent, location, trends, and injuries.

They can all influence what you ultimately decide to bet on — don’t worry, though, because we’re here to help.

We’ll examine some of the most popular betting markets, starting with the moneyline, and offer tips for betting on the Jets.

A moneyline bet is a great option for betting on Winnipeg if you think it’ll win a game.

Simply put, a successful moneyline wager involves backing the team that wins the game. As a result, the winner of a moneyline bet can win the game by any margin of victory and in regulation, overtime, or a shootout.

In every moneyline bet, there will be an underdog and a favourite. The underdog will have a plus (+) symbol in front of its odds and the favourite will have a minus (-) sign.

Winnipeg’s status as an underdog or a favourite will largely depend on location and opponent. For example, in a home game against the Seattle Kraken, the Jets would be sizeable favourites. In a home game against the Calgary Flames, however, Winnipeg would likely be a smaller favourite.

On the other hand, in a road game against the Vegas Golden Knights, the Jets would assume underdog status.

Here’s how the odds would be presented on the above examples:

Kraken (+230) vs. Jets (-280)
Flames (+120) vs. Jets (-140)
Jets (+190) vs. Golden Knights (-230)

The payout structure for a bet on the Jets at those odds looks like this:

-280 (73.68% implied win probability): A $280 wager would win $100.
-140 (58.33% implied win probability): A $140 wager would win $100.
+190 (34.48% implied win probability): A $100 wager would win $190.

Of these matchups, the most sensible moneyline wager is the game against the Flames. A $140 bet on the Jets to win would return $100 and the implied win probability is at a respectable number.

In contrast, the Seattle game requires a loftier $280 wager to win $100. At -280 odds on a moneyline bet, the risk isn’t worth it.
