    Can someone explain hockey line for me?

    Capitals moneyline tonight is -170 but for capitals to win in the first 60 minutes (-.5) the line is -108.

    so basically if I think Capitals win in regulation and it doesnt go to overtime then im getting .62 cents lower on the line? That seems like insane value..or am i wrong on this.

    No, you are correct. Caps in regulation seems like a good bet, especially @ -108. GL.

    yep your right. However I'm not sure about the exact number but the % of hockey games that go to OT is alot higher than you would expect

    The line is correct and if you like the caps I'd take the regulation bet before I'd lay -170.

    I don`t geht what`s so special. According to the Odds the Caps should win about 55% of matches in reg. time. If you`re taking ML they have to win about 70% in reg. time or OT.
    Sounds fair but not unusual to me

    people always underestimate the number of games that go to ot, and also underestimate the number of games decided by 1 goal, most guys play the -1.5 and -.5 regulation lines. but in the long run you are better off on the other side of both of those.

    The -108 implies a 52% chance of winning, the -170 implies a 62% chance of winning. If the odds of going to ot are 20%, you are still better off with the -170 because the difference is 10%. If it went to ot, i would give the caps better than a 50/50 chance of winning.

    the problem is that people look at the -170 and think that is a higher than 62% chance of winning, just like they look at -300 and think that is 90% chance of winning instead of the reality 75%.
