I'm new to hockey betting. Any tips? Did this article help

Best Ways to Bet on the NHL?​

The article left out MONEYLINES(ML), which are good because like there are only 2 possible out outcomes - no ties(pushes), which in reality is your best bet for winning because 2 outcomes means 50% chance of winning or losing.

So, take MLs which are 50% chance to win/lose then apply the odds(lines) that the MLs are offering - to try to figure out if the team you think is going to win the game is worth the money you risking for the payout.

This applies to baseball too:cheers:

Smells like a planted post. And the article sucked.
Think they would have tried to direct traffic to something more recent?

Do agree with Tuesday about the MLs being left out buuuut

Gotta admit the 3 way line paragraph had me thinking for a bit.... Trap or could it actually be profitable for certain specific matchups?

3-way line is obviously good when you betting game not go overtime since it pays better than 2-way lines...or if you want to bet games go to overtime - and yeah especially playoff matchups when you think it'll be close game and want to get on games going to overtime.
