The moneyline favorite will be indicated by a negative (-) value before its moneyline, while the underdog will have a positive value attached to its moneyline odds.įor example, the favorite to win the game - the Boston Bruins - has a moneyline of -175 which means for every $1 you wish to win, you need to risk $1.75 (bet $175 to win $100).
Sportsbooks often display moneylines in American odds (hundreds). Because not all matchups are equal, each team will be assigned a moneyline which reflects the implied probability of winning the game. Moneyline: Pick the winner of an NHL gameīetting the moneyline is the most straightforward way to wager on hockey, with oddsmakers simply asking bettors to pick which side they think will win the game.
Bettors wager on whether the final score will go Over or Under that expected tally.
NHL Over/Under totals are the estimated total number of goals scored by both teams in a game.
