Worst Hockey Lines?

BetHalfLines · Aug 22, 2008

Asked a question about longest losing streaks earlier...and got an answer. Thanks...

One more...

How high/bad do hockey lines get? For example, in baseball its rare to see -300 unless the Cubs are playing the Nats (like today)...but we see a lot in the -200's, but most are below that number.

On average, what is the range for hockey, on the ML? -110, -150, -175, -200 etc... How high do we get and whats average...And on those high lines, how often do we really see them?

Thanks to whoever replies.

That is a very good question. I am interested in this too. I hope somebody answers.

They are normally i've found to be home team heavy with -125 to -145 to the home team. When both Teams are equal. EG. CGY vs. EDM

The bigger lines that I've seen are normally game like Detroit vs. Columbus with Detroit at home it would be -280 to -300 depending if either team is the second game of a back to back or injury problems.

Hope this helps.

Much appreciate Chubbdog.

So the lines are very similar to baseball lines which I was hoping. I have a system for baseball I've been running for about two weeks now, and it wins $5 every game played. It doesn't matter who wins, you eventually get the $5 for every game played (in hockey there will be 1230 wins and 1230 losses...1230 x 5 = $6150 over the course of the season at the $5 per game mark). It has a Martingale aspect to it, but since you are technically playing both sides, the risk drops significantly, and you never have to keep doubling your bet like in a true Martingale system.

The system is actually based more on letting the books tell you which team to bet, and where value actually lies. I'll keep tracking this in baseball, but I'm yet to have a losing day, and my biggest bet on 1 team has been around $70. I expect that even a team that loses 10 in a row, like the Flyers two years ago, will be getting pretty good + odds over time, so you're risk is driven down significantly.

I feel like I'm talking myself in circles...but since its working right now in bases, hopefully I can translate that to hockey. The only downside I see right now on the system is that you have to play every game, every day. You can't miss a day.

Hi.

Can you explain your system to us please? I am interested.
