The puck line odds are one of the most popular ways to bet on NHL hockey. It combines the money line hockey odds with the point spread. Here’s an example of a puck line using two playoff teams. In the first game of the Oilers-Sharks series, the Sharks as the home team, with a hot goalie and as the higher seed were favored. The puck line would have looked something like this.
Edmonton Oilers +1.5 -180
San Jose Sharks -1.5 +160
A money line, used in baseball and hockey, takes the place of a point spread. Money line betting is simply wagering on a sports betting event based on a given price rather than a point spread. The team bet on has to win the game outright, regardless of the score. The minus sign (e.g.-130) always indicates the favorite and the amount you must bet to win $100. The plus sign (e.g.+120) always indicates the underdog and the amount you win for every $100 bet. Using this example, therefore, you would bet $130 to win $100 on the favorite, while for the underdog you would bet $100 to win $120.
The over/under is the number of points sports books expect will be the total score for the contest (both teams combined, overtime included). You bet on whether the total points scored will be more or less than this number. As with point spread bets, you must generally wager $110 to win $100.
Betting on a point spread or money line is sometimes called betting “sides” – that is, betting that one side or the other will be the winner – while betting the over/under is referred to as betting “totals”. Stanley Cup Betting Glossary Here
