What Does It Mean?
In ice hockey sports betting, the market “12 and Both To Score – No” is a combination bet involving:
- “12” (also called Double Chance without Draw):
- You’re betting that either team will win.
- A draw is NOT allowed (i.e., the match must be decided in regulation time).
- “Both To Score – No”:
- You’re betting that both teams will NOT score at least one goal each in regular time.
- At least one team must finish with 0 goals.
For Your Bet to Win:
- There must be a winner (Team 1 or Team 2 wins in regular time).
- Only one team (or none) must score.
Winning Score Examples:
- 3–0
- 0–2
- 1–0
- 0–5
Losing Score Examples:
- 2–1 (Both teams scored)
- 3–2 (Both teams scored)
- 2–2 (Draw + both teams scored)
- 1–1 (Draw + both teams scored)
Betting Tips:
1. Focus on Strong vs Weak Teams
- Look for matches where one team is clearly dominant.
- Example: Top-of-the-league team vs bottom-ranked team.
2. Study Team Goal Stats
- Look at teams with:
- Good defense (concede few goals).
- Poor offense (score very few goals).
- Great bet if one team frequently wins without conceding or loses without scoring.
3. Avoid Evenly Matched Games
- In close contests, both teams are more likely to score, increasing risk.
- This bet works best in lopsided matchups.
4. Check Goalie Performance
- If a team’s goalie is in excellent form, the chance of a clean sheet increases.
5. Monitor Team News
- If a team is missing top scorers or key attackers, they may struggle to score.
Example Match & Analysis:
- Match: Boston Bruins vs Anaheim Ducks
- Scenario: Bruins are strong at home; Ducks are weak offensively and often fail to score away.
- Pick: “12 and Both To Score – No”
- Reason: Bruins likely to win 3–0 or 4–0.
Risks to Consider:
- A late goal by the weaker team can ruin the “Both to Score – No” part.
- If the match ends in a draw, you lose — even if only one team scored (e.g. 1–1).
