Hi,
I'm new to hockey betting and was wondering if anyone could explain the following:
At my sportsbook, Pinnacle, they have 2 sections: NHL Regulation Time and NHL OT Included .. why is it that under "Handicap", the NHL Regulation Time lists it as +0.5/-0.5 and for NHL OT Included it is written as +1.5/-1.5 ? .. I thought +1.5 or -1.5 meant you win your bet if a team wins by 2 goals or loses a game by 1, depending on the side you pick ... so why not just make it +1.5/-1.5 for both NHL Regulation Time and NHL OT Included? I'm not really understanding the +0.5/-0.5...
I feel stupid for asking such a question, and maybe I'm not thinking clearly as it is 5 AM here in Toronto, lol ... but yeah, any help/explanation is appreciated, thanks guys!
