Money Line Bets
A money line bet is the most popular kind of NHL wager. This bet type is one where you choose who’ll win the match. If the team you chose wins the match, you win your bet! The important point to realize about money line bets is they do not always cover the exact same amount for every group. In reality, they often don’t cover the exact same amount.
The bigger of a popular an NHL team is to win a game the less cash the sportsbook will pay you for a correct pick. The bigger of an underdog that an NHL team is to win a game the more money the sportsbook will pay you.
All these statements are basic rules of thumb, although the lines will move based on how the gambling public chooses to wager.

The important take away is that you realize that you will get paid out based on the probability of the team winning. Do not automatically assume you’ll be getting even money on each wager. These money line bets at the NHL operate the same as they do in any of the other major sports. We’ll discuss this more in-depth in the plan section below when we speak about finding value.
