FYI, we typically take the “regular time only” plays, you get MUCH better lines for favorites, and OT is so unpredictable it becomes a tossup once games go into OT. So the favorite we take the -0.5 line and dogs we take the +0.5 line.

Top of the Am… Good picks today!!! Lets get it $$$
it’s getting tougher to pick nhl games. we’ll see
Is it the same as 3-way money line, where a team has to win in regular time.
that’s the one Bobby, same idea
I look back at the last 2 weeks, almost 40% of the game went to OT. Picking “regular time only” is kind of risky in that respect. What is your thought on that?
well, the good thing is I usually take +0.5 for the underdogs, so pay a little more juice but it has paid off on several plays where team lost in OT but won the regulation play. as for favorites, I just like the (significantly) better odds. so I go for the -0.5 simply for the better odds. just my 2c.
Got it. But do you play -0.5 across the board, or do you have a cut-off line for heavy fav vs. slight fav. For example, if the line is -125 or less you play ML and if it more than -125 you play -0.5? Last question for today, I promise. I know you are busy…
I pretty much do -0.5 on all favs and +0.5 for all dogs. I feel like favs lose value in OT since it almost becomes a toss up.
Thank you.
