Hey there, I can't figure out NHL OT Included spread:
So if I take the favored team which is -1.5 they can only win by 2 in regulation I'm told by pinnacle sports which makes no sense to me, why is it called OT included if the favored team can't win in OT.

OT is sudden death, so if it's tied and goes to OT the first goal wins and there is no more hockey.
impossible to win by 2 in OT

if no one scores in 5 minutes of play it goes to penalties, winner of penalties counts as 1 goal

Not sure why they word the PL bets that way

I understand hockey completely man, I play, follow it no problems there, so back to what I was asking the -1.5 bet can only be won in regulation then, even though it says OT included.

How are you going to win the -1.5 in sudden death OT?

-1.5 with or without overtime is exactly the same bet essentially, they could easily offer only one of the two

They just say ot included as a phrase as in nfl ot counts for all bets

[gryfyn1]

the use the phase "OT included", because hockey also has three-way betting in which you bet win, loss or draw that never includes OT. And while, yes, you can never win the -1.5 line in OT the puck line, like the spread on other sports, is listed on the same line. Just like if you take a 14 point favorite in football you will lose if the game goes to OT, it is included.

But +1.5 does win.....Pinnacle also deals other spreads like 1 and 0.5, where the wording would be relevant.
