Money Line vs. Goal Lines

oldmantime · Nov 25, 2002

I'm fairly new to playing Hockey--but I like it. My question is do most of the bigger sportsbooks offer Mpney lines? (I was looking at WWTS for instance and to bet Colorado -I would have had to lay 1.5 goals--which would have equaled a loss. Instead I played Colorado on the Money line and won the bet (1 to 0).

Why do some of the bigger books such as WWTS offer only a goal line bet? Which do most players here prefer? Thanks

A semi-serious/serious puck bettor "must" have all 3 options available.

Spread
Moneyline
Puckline

You will find "at least" a 5 cent difference a vast majority of the time on the game you wish to risk tax paid money on.

wwts are a bunch of crook bastards. They only offer a puck line. Like Bases said, you should have all 3 handy. A Canadian line, a puck line, and a moneyline. You will always find value if you have 12 or more books, along with all these options. You will hardly ever find value in a puck line. 98% of the time, it will NOT favor you. But when a line is -5 pick, chances are, you will get a ev-0.5 on the puckline, which means that if you like the fav, you will get -.5 even, rather than -5 pick. I know I have definitely lost you by now Oldmantime, seeing you're not a hockey player. In fact, I'm sure I have lost you by now with that last comment. Sorry, but I cannot explain it any better. I hope you understood a bit.
