Ways to bet on 2017 world junior hockey championships
And remember, there’s more ways to do world junior hockey championship betting than just betting on who you think will win the tournament, or even who will win today’s game.
There isn’t much suspense when Canada plays Denmark, but the game will be a lot more interesting if you take Canada -6.5 on the puck line. Over/under, live betting and props are other ways to keep the games exciting and hopefully make a few bucks as well.
