In ice hockey betting, “12 and Both To Score – Yes” is a combination bet that includes:

- “12” = The match does not end in a draw after regulation time.
- Both Teams To Score – Yes:
- This means both teams must score at least 1 goal each during the regular 60 minutes of play (3 periods).

Tips for Betting on “12 And Both To Score – Yes”
- Check Recent Form & Head-to-Head:
- Look for teams with strong scoring records and poor defenses.
- Example: Two high-scoring teams like Edmonton Oilers vs. Tampa Bay Lightning.
- Avoid Strongly Defensive Teams:
- If one team has a tendency to keep clean sheets or the opponent struggles to score, avoid this market.
- Target Mid-Table Clashes or Rivalries:
- These usually have more open play and less cautious defending, increasing the chances of both teams scoring.
- Use Stats Sites:
- Use hockey stats websites to check:
- Average goals per game
- Goals scored/conceded
- First period goal trends
- Use hockey stats websites to check:
- Lineups & Goalie News:
- If the starting goalie is a backup or recently returned from injury, chances of both teams scoring may increase.
Best Time to Use This Bet:
- When both teams are attack-minded
- When both teams have leaky defenses
- When a draw is unlikely due to one team being stronger but still likely to concede
