2 Goals Ahead Early Payout Offer

This early payout offer is basically the “Grail watch” of betting features—it’s pure quality and massive value because it completely removes the risk of a third-period collapse. While the soccer world gets this at two goals, in the NHL, bet365 gives you that same “bench your stress” security the moment your team takes a three-goal lead.

Here is how you can use the Hockey Early Payout Offer to protect your bankroll in three steps.

Step 1: The Pre-Match Scouting Report

Just like you wouldn’t buy a watch without checking the movement, you want to make sure you’re placing the right kind of bet to qualify. You need to place a pre-match single or parlay bet on the Money Line (2-Way) market. This offer applies to any NHL game, so whether you’re backing a heavy favorite or hunting for a value underdog, as long as it’s a standard Money Line bet before the puck drops, you’re eligible. It’s the smart way to build a foundation for your nightly slate, ensuring you’re positioned for a win before the game even gets chaotic.

Step 2: The Three-Goal “Safety Net”

The magic happens once the game is underway. For straight bets, if the team you backed to win goes 3 goals ahead at any stage during the match (let’s say they’re up 3-0 or 4-1), bet365 will pay out your bet in full immediately. The beauty of this is that the final score no longer matters. If the opposing team pulls their goalie, scores three straight, and wins in overtime, it doesn’t touch your payout. You’ve already “locked the crown” on those winnings, allowing you to watch the rest of the game purely for the love of the sport without worrying about a blown lead.

Step 3: Keeping the Parlay Momentum

If you’ve built a parlay to maximize your value—similar to how you’re strategically filling your 24-watch case—this offer works as a massive mid-game boost. If one of the teams in your parlay goes 3 goals ahead, that specific selection is automatically marked as won within your “My Bets” section. This is a huge advantage because it “locks in” that leg of the parlay early, leaving the rest of your selections to run. It effectively shortens the game for you, making your multi-leg tickets much easier to land by taking the “late-game sweat” out of the equation for your hockey picks.
