W2 and Both To Score – No in Ice Hockey Sports Betting — Explained in Detail


Meaning:

In this betting market, W2 and Both to Score – No combines two conditions in one bet:

  1. W2 (Away Win) – The away team must win the match.
  2. Both to Score – No – At least one team must NOT score.
    That is, either the home team gets shut out, or the away team wins with a clean sheet.

In other words:

  • You win the bet only if the away team wins AND either team keeps a clean sheet (doesn’t score).

Key Insights:

  • This is a double condition bet; both parts must be correct.
  • “Both to Score – No” means one team must be held to zero goals.
  • Often requires the away team to have a strong defense and goalie, and the home team to struggle offensively.

Betting Tips:

  1. Look for Strong Away Defenses:
    • Target teams with good road performance and low goals conceded (e.g., Boston Bruins, Carolina Hurricanes).
    • Check goalie stats: Save percentage (SV%) and Goals Against Average (GAA).
  2. Weak Home Attack Teams:
    • Bet against home teams with poor scoring records or frequent shutouts.
    • Consider injuries to top scorers or offensive lines.
  3. Low Total Game Score Expectation:
    • If sportsbooks set a low Over/Under line (e.g., 5.0 or 5.5), it might indicate a low-scoring game, increasing chances for a shutout.
  4. Check Head-to-Head History:
    • Look at how the teams have performed in past meetings — does the away team dominate and shut them out often?
  5. Avoid Rivalry Games:
    • These can be unpredictable, and both teams are more likely to score.

Ideal Scenario to Use This Bet:

  • top-tier away team is visiting a struggling offensive team, and you believe the away team will dominate while keeping a clean sheet.
