Puck line betting will always have better odds than the moneyline and is a great way to turn our wagers into more money. It’s a two-way market, meaning there are only two betting options on a puck line bet: -1.5 or +1.5. Favorites are listed with a negative value before their line (-1.5), while underdogs are listed with a positive value (+1.5). Puck line betting is wagering on a team to win by more than one goal or not lose by more than one goal. A team has to win by more than one goal (-1.5) or not lose by two or more goals (+1.5). Good thing nearly every NHL sportsbook offers puck line betting markets that resemble a point spread in football or a baseball run line.
Sometimes betting a big NHL favorite to win doesn’t make much sense given the odds.
