Hi Metra,

I'm new to hockey betting, so here goes a stupid quesiton:

Are you placing a Moneyline bet on the Canadians for the First Period? What does the 1.8 stand for?

Thanks!

I'm liking the Kings -109 at home.

Are you placing a Moneyline bet on the Canadians for the First Period? What does the 1.8 stand for?

1.80 is decimal pricing. In American odds it converts to -125


American = -[100 / (Decimal - 1)] [For Decimal values less than 2]



For Decimal values of 2 and above, it is a positive line, in which case:

American = (Decimal - 1) * 100

Thanks Winston.

I hear you looker. I'm in a funk myself. If I lose tomorrow I'm gonna take a few days off from hockey.
