I hate the +1.5 lines

The odds are horrible and when I pick 2 big dogs it's almost guaranteed one doesn't cover. Or both, like useless Washington and Buffalo today. And when they do cover, they win straight up by 4 goals like Ottawa. ML is better.

Have you tried the -1.5 lines?

lmao

Have you tried the -1.5 lines?

When I take -1.5 on a super obvious fav then suddenly they forget how to score and it goes 2:1 OT. But at least those are losses at plus odds so it's not so bad.

minus one??

DALLAS -1½+135 lost ML in OT
PITTSBURGH -1½+151 lost ML in OT
ST LOUIS -1½ +173 lost ML in OT

FML, good job you useless favs! Suddenly a 6:2 result is impossible when I dare to bet on it.

Have you tried the regulation ML with better odds?

I at times have hit sticking the -1.5 in a parlay. I have done this and it will pay off nicely if you get a nice juice at like a +180 or higher. I am a numbers person and i look for a game where the team i am doing the -1.5 is a slightly better team then the other but has numbers overall that favor them. Like maybe they have won 6 of the last 7 games between them. The ML for the game may be that team at -120 or so. But the -1.5 should be pretty good.

I figure as long as they at least have a 1 goal lead with a couple minutes left the goalie will be pulled and they can have a shot to cover the -1.5 . I actually had a huge hit like that. Another won easily with a blow out . I do not do this very often. But i have had some luck so far with them when i do. But you have to parlay it with one other normal game.

Yeah, empty netters are great in favor of -1.5. But there is no need for parlays. Either a pick is good value as a single or it's not, there is no in between. It baffles me how many seasoned bettors don't know this simple fact. The worst are those who say "no value in ML but good for parlays" - no, a -2% roi pick is NEVER good in a parlay, even if it has an 80% chance to win.

Alright, last chance for the useless dogs! VANCOUVER +1½-135
