Sports Betting Rules and Odds
Hockey
Canadian Line
The Canadian line is a combination of a goal and money line. The money line is a 20 cent line for straight bets.
| Example: |
| Boston Bruins +1/2 -140 |
| L.A. Kings -1/2 +120 |
|
If wagering on the Kings the customer would give-up half a goal and would risk $100 to win $120, the Kings must win by at least one goal. If wagering on the Bruins the customer would get half a goal but would risk $140 to win $100.
American Line
The American Line (Puck Line) is similar to the Canadian Line except, generally there is no juice (vigorish) involved, but involves a "gap" in the goal line.
| Example: |
| Boston Bruins +1 even |
| L.A. Kings -1½ even |
|
In this example, the Kings must win by at least 2 goals for you to win that wager. On the other hand, if you choose the Bruins, they must at least tie, for you to win.
Money Line
All money line options are prices to win the game outright, regardless of a point spread with a tie being a "push".
| Example: |
| Boston Bruins +110 |
| L.A. Kings -130 |
|
If you select the Bruins to win the game, wagering $100 would win you $110. If you select the Kings to win, you would need to risk $130 to win $100.
Totals Over/Under
| Example: |
| Bruins +1/2 -140 5 OVER -130 |
| Kings -1/2 +120 |
|
As well as having favorites on sides you also have favorites on totals, in this example over the total of five goals is indicated as the favorite in which case the customer would lay $130 to win $100. If wagering on the game to go under five goals the customer goes with the underdog so he receives a larger return in this case risking $100 to win $110. If there is no money line indicated the total has a “FLAT” line or -110 whether wagering over or under, in which case the customer would lay $110 to win $100 either way. When you wager on total pucks, if the score falls on the number in this case five, it will be “no action”.
Parlays
With hockey parlays you can combine anywhere from 2 to 8 teams into a single wager resulting in higher payouts as in baseball parlays. Note: Hockey parlays are calculated as they are in baseball.
