    NHL Team Totals question: How much is a half point worth?

    I'm specifically curious about the Team Totals from 2.5 to 3.5. Example, let's say I want to bet on Toronto Over and one Book has Toronto Over 3.5 at +135 but another book has Toronto Over 2.5 at -165. I realize depending on what kind of better you are some people would rather pay more juice and others will opt to play less juice and go for a bigger win. My question is, which one has better value in the long run? Is there a chart for the 2.5/3.5 Over/Unders? What are the 2.5 to 3.5 price equivalencies?

    yeah the difference is very expensive for half-points in hockey

    evidence by comparing the game totals offered, in addition to the team totals you're talking about

    I don't have an immediate answer to your question, would have to manually compare like you said, 2.5 vs 3.5 how the juice varies

    My assumption the reason why so expensive is for years the average game total is 5 goals. It's ticked up a little in recent years.
