Winnipeg Jets Odds: Betting Options & Strategy

Looking to bet on the Jets this season but not sure where to start? Luckily for you, MansionBet has created a complete Winnipeg Jets betting guide going over the most popular wagers, how to read Winnipeg Jets odds, betting strategies, how the Jets stack up next season, and an overview of the NHL.

Here are in depth explanations of some of the most popular forms of Winnipeg Jets betting. We have provided example as well to help clarify things.

Moneyline

If you are simply looking to bet on the Winnipeg Jets to win or lose, then this is the wager for you. The moneyline is one of the most standard forms of betting, where you receive a payout for correctly selecting the winner of the game.

You can wager on the moneyline for individual periods as well, but ties result in a push meaning you will receive a full refund. Overtime and shootout results are included for full game moneyline wagers, the only requirement is that your team is officially awarded a win in the NHL standings.

• Ex. Jets (-180) vs. Canucks (+155)

Simply click on the -180 to wager on the Jets to win and the +155 to wager on the Canucks to win. If you are correct, you will receive a payout based on the selected odds.

Puck Line

The puck line is similar to the moneyline but there are stipulations put on the wager to even up matchups between teams of varying skill levels. The favourite must win by a specific number of goals and the underdog must either win the game or lose by a specific number of goals. Puck line wagers can also be placed on individual periods, but the standard line is the most popular market.

• Ex. Jets -1.5 (+135) vs. Canucks -1.5 (-155)

Totals

Totals betting is a great way to get action on a game when you are not confident in a specific side winning. Oddsmakers set a fair total that they believe both teams will combine to score, and you are given the option to wager on the true number to be higher (over) or lower (under) than the given line.

Total lines are also provided for each period and top sportsbooks give you the option to wager on totals for each individual team. Totals wagers are meant to be as close to a 50/50 chance as possible, and the goal of oddsmakers is to have even money placed on each side.

• Ex. Jets vs. Canucks O 6.5 (-110) / U 6.5 (-110) 

O 6.5 represents the over and U 6.5 represents the under for both teams combined. Both teams would need to score 7 goals or more for the over to hit and both teams would need to score 6 goals or less for the under to hit. 

Player Props

Player props are not offered on every sportsbook, but they have made betting possibilities feel endless. For Winnipeg Jets betting, you can place over/under wagers on individual players for multiple different stat categories. This includes goals, assists, points, powerplay points, blocked shots, shots on goal, saves, goals against, and shutouts. 

• Ex. Connor Hellebuyck over 27.5 / under 27.5 saves

Futures

Winnipeg Jets betting is not limited to the most recent matchup. You can place bets on things that will be decided further down the line such as Jets awards winners, the Jets to make the playoffs, the Jets to win the Stanley Cup, etc.

• Ex. Winnipeg Jets odds to win series (+240)

Parlays 

Parlay bets are when two or more wagers are combined into one bet slip. This gives you a higher potential payout than if you were to bet each of the events individually, but if one of the wagers does not win you will receive nothing. 

Ex: 3 play parlay (+527)

• Jets moneyline (-180)
• Mark Scheifele anytime goal scorer (+120)
• Kyle Connor over 3.5 shots on goal (-120)

You may have a great understanding of the NHL, but looking at betting lines and Winnipeg Jets odds can seem intimidating at first. We can assure you this is not the case, and you will be an expert in no time after reading this section and placing a few wagers.

Let’s start by understanding our moneyline example of Jets (-180) vs. Canucks (+155). The minus sign (-) next to the Winnipeg Jets odds indicates they are the favourite, and the plus (+) sign next to the Canucks odds indicates that they are the underdog.

The odds here are represented using the American odds system, which is the most popular in North American opposed to the Decimal and Fraction systems. American odds are represented in terms of $100 wagers. If you place a $180 wager on the Jets at -180, you will receive a profit of $100 if they win. If you place a $100 bet on the Canucks at -155 you will receive a profit of $155.

Next let’s look at the puck line. The standard line for each game in hockey is -1.5 for the favourite and +1.5 for the underdog. This means the favourite must win the game by two goals or more and the underdog must either win the game or lose by one goal. The standard line for each period is -0.5 and +0.5, meaning the favourite must win the period by one goal and the underdog must either win or tie the period.

Regular season award winners take up a large portion of the NHL futures market. Here is where the Winnipeg Jets stand for some of the top awards the NHL has to offer.

• Hart Trophy → The NHL’s version of the MVP award, Kyle Connor is the most likely Jets player to receive the honours this upcoming season, but he would be a long shot. Connor finished last season as the team’s points leader with 31 goals and 49 assists.
  
  
• Norris Trophy → Awarded to the league’s top overall defenseman, the Jets Josh Morrissey has a real shot at the award this upcoming season. The Canadian finished second in points amongst all defenseman last season with 16 goals and 60 assists.
  
  
• Vezina Trophy → Awarded to the league’s top goaltender, the Jets Connor Hellebuyck isn’t a favourite, but he has a solid shot at the award this upcoming season. He led all goalies with 64 games played and ranked fifth with a .920 SV% last season.
  
  
• Jack Adams Award → Awarded to the leagues top head coach, Rick Bowness brought the Jets back to the playoffs coaching the team to a 46-33-3 record in his first season with the team. This was the second-best point finish of the coach’s career, three points behind his 98 points with the Dallas Stars in 2021-22. He holds a 258-384-48 record all time.

The Jets missed the playoffs in 2021-2022 following a season where the front office shocked fans trading Patrik Laine for Pierre-Luc Dubois – the 2nd overall pick from 2016 for the 3rd overall pick the same year. Winnipeg got back on track this year and has now qualified for the playoffs in five of the past six season.

They didn’t put up much of a fight in the first round however, losing 4-1 to the Vegas Golden Knights. Searching for their first appearance in the Stanley Cup finals, here is how the Jets Stack up for the 2023-24 season.

Odds for the Jets to Win the Cup

The Jets have only been in the league for 12 seasons, but they have yet to reach a Stanley Cup Finals. They have a solid overall team but lack a true superstar to put them in the conversation with the top teams in the league. Make sure to check out our Stanley Cup betting odds page to see who the current top contenders are.

Presidents Trophy odds

The Jets have yet to win the presidents trophy and will be a longshot once against with powerhouse regular season teams like the Bruins, Leafs, Oilers, and Avalanche. 

Jets Odds to win the division

The Jets made the playoffs by 2 points last season and have a long way to go to pass the Colorado Avalanche as the top contender to win the Central division.

Jets Odds to make the playoffs

The Jets have made the playoffs in half of their seasons since joining the league and should be expected to make it once again after qualifying in five of the past six years.

Everyone wants to win more bets, and I wish I could tell you there was one simple answer to doing so. Here are a few simple strategies you can implement this season to help increase your profits when betting on the Jets.

How to Get the Most Out of Winnipeg Jets Betting Lines 

• Make sure you check recent injury reports. 
• Take fatigue into consideration – one team may be much more rested than the other. 
• Factor in home/away split – some teams perform significantly better at home opposed to on the road.
• Look for favourable odds when placing wagers rather than always betting on heavy favourites. 
• Shop around different sportsbooks to obtain the best odds for your specific wager. 
• Always check the promotions tab on your sportsbook and take advantage of odds boosts when it makes sense to.

How to Find the Best Welcome Bonus for Winnipeg Jets Betting

Welcome bonuses are no secret in the betting industry, but finding the best ones to activate can be a challenge. A great place to start is checking out our top sportsbook bonuses page, but before you do that, we have a few things you need to consider.

There is no limit to the number of welcome bonuses you can obtain, so we recommend activating as many favourable bonuses as you can and taking advantage of the free bet credits you can obtain rather than putting up large amounts of your own money. The key word there is favourable, as you can only activate a welcome bonus once per sportsbook and some just aren’t worth it at the end of the day. Companies change their bonuses all the time, so if you think the offer has room to improve in the future based on industry standards, it is best to hold off.

To make sure a bonus is up to par, we highly recommend reading the terms and conditions before singing up. The most common things to look for are ridiculous play through requirements and short deadlines.

Before betting on the Jets, you need to have a complete understanding of the NHL. Here is a breakdown of the NHL format for the upcoming season:

The NHL consists of 32 teams separated into two 16 team conferences – the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference. Each conference is then separated into two divisions of eight teams. The East has the Atlantic and Metropolitan divisions while the West has the Central and Pacific divisions.

The Canucks are in the Western Conference and the Pacific division along with the Oilers, Kings, Kraken, Flames, Sharks, and Ducks. Within the division they play five of the opponents four times and two of the opponents three times. They play each team within their conference but not their division three times, and each team in the opposite conference twice.

Points are used to determine the regular season standings – with two points awarded per win and one point awarded for an overtime/shootout loss.

NHL Playoffs Format

The top three teams in each of the four divisions advance to the playoffs. Additionally, there are two wild card teams that make it from each conference, totaling 16 teams. Each round is a best of seven series, and there are four rounds including the Stanley Cup Finals.  

The format for the first round of the playoffs is as follows: 

• Highest overall Division 1st vs. Conference 2nd Wild Card 
• Lowest overall Division 1st vs Conference 1st Wild Card 
• Division 2nd vs Division 3rd 
• Division 2nd vs Division 3rd

For the second round you play winner of the only other matchup with a team in your division – for the third round you play the only remaining team in your conference – and for the Stanley Cup Final you play winner of the opposite conference.

Cashout

The ability to back out of wagers for a small loss or small gain is a great feeling. This isn’t always the most profitable option, but it is a great feature to have none the less. It’s also important to note that some sportsbooks offer many more cash out opportunities than others.

Same Game Parlay

Another feature that has become an industry standard, the ability to parlay together multiple wagers from the same game has given sports bettors more opportunities than ever before.

Once you have signed up for a sportsbook, you will have access to exclusive offers they provide to existing customers. This includes free bets, odds boosts, and risk-free bets.
