Puck lines

I have a feeling IE might have some saber metrics on this if you're into that stuff.
But I see it similar to baseball runlines, only on a smaller scale. In bases you might easily have a 7-4 game, but in hockey the avg is 5 goals, so you'll see a lot of 3-2, 3-1, 4-2 type games. Thus puck lines are more difficult to hit, so you get more + money. e.g. a -150 fav can net you +200 on -1.5. (in bases -150 fav gets you maybe +150 on rl)
On big favs most here play -.5 on regulation (60 mins only, no OT) to reduce their juice. Some lay -1 instead of 1.5 for a go-between of odds.
Just started playing myself last season. Some vets here might offer some good perspective.

Thanks for the info.
It seems to me like the scoring is a bit up this year and last (wrong?). That should provide a bit of value in these puck or RL puck lines. :shrug:
That's actually a good question and I know there's a thread on the salami over...but to those that are hockey buffs, has the scoring increased in recent times as opposed to "before" (whenever that may be)?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
Many games played in short time span... More mental mistakes are being made.... Injuries to key players on many teams... Its starting to show on the scoreboard that this is a compacted schedule. I did not check but I would think that the total goals per game over the last 3 or 4 weeks is probably higher than average for the year, due to some of these factors.
