Puckline (general terms)
Hockey combines both a handicap/spread and odds. This is called
the Puckline. Sample line: Boston +1 (-110) Detroit - 1.5 (-110)
The favorites are the Detroit Red Wings, who are giving the
Boston Bruins 1.5 goals. To win the bet, Detroit would have
to win the game by 2 goals. When placing this bet you are getting
even money, which means that for every $110 you wager, you will
win $100. If you are betting on Boston, you will receive a 1.0
goal handicap, meaning that if Detroit wins by 1 goal the game
is a push. If the game ends in a tie or Boston wins, then you
win the bet. The odds again are at - 110.
