    stupid question

    I never bet nhl but will try my luck tonight. I want to bet the blackhawks to win in regulation but they give me two options of -0.5 or ML. this doesnt make any sense to me. wouldnt winning by -0.5 be the same as a ML win? but the difference in odds is way off. again this is probably a stupid question just looking for some clairifaction

    -0.5 loses if it goes to OT.

    The .5 is called the 3-Way line. It's a regulation bet. They call it 3-Way because you can pick Home/Away/Tie.

    The ML you can win OT or Shootout (regular season)
