- Puck Line
- Hockey's version of the point spread, almost always set at -1.5 / +1.5. The favorite at -1.5 must win by 2+ goals. Underdogs at +1.5 cover if they lose by exactly 1 or win.
- Over/Under (Game Total)
- A bet on whether combined goals exceed or fall short of the line, typically set at 5.5 or 6.5 in the NHL. Low-scoring games make the under more competitive than in other sports.
- Three-Way Moneyline
- A moneyline bet that includes the draw as a third outcome. Settles at the end of regulation — overtime and shootout results do not apply.
- Period Betting
- Spreads, totals, and moneylines for individual periods (1st, 2nd, 3rd). Valuable for targeting teams with strong starts or historically high-scoring third periods.
- Grand Salami
- A single over/under bet on the total goals scored across ALL games on a given day. A market unique to hockey (and occasionally baseball).
- Alternate Puck Line
- Adjusted puck lines beyond the standard -1.5, such as -2.5 or +2.5, with corresponding odds changes.
- Moneyline
- A straight-up wager on which side wins. No point spread involved — you simply pick the winner.
- Vig (Juice)
- The bookmaker's commission built into every line. Standard vig is around -110 on each side, meaning you risk $110 to win $100.
- Implied Probability
- The likelihood of an outcome as suggested by the odds. For example, -200 implies a 66.7% chance. Comparing implied probability across bookmakers reveals where value exists.
- Closing Line Value (CLV)
- The difference between the odds you locked in and the odds at the time the market closes. Consistently beating the closing line is the strongest predictor of long-term betting profit.
- Line Movement
- Changes in odds between when a market opens and when it closes. Driven by sharp money, public betting patterns, injuries, and other news.
- Bankroll
- The total amount of money you've set aside specifically for betting. Effective bankroll management — typically risking 1-3% per wager — is essential for surviving variance.
- Unit
- A standardized bet size, typically 1% of your bankroll. Tracking results in units rather than dollars normalizes performance regardless of stake size.
- Hedge
- Placing a bet on the opposite side of an existing wager to lock in a guaranteed profit or reduce exposure, often used with futures or parlays.
- Parlay (Accumulator)
- A single bet combining two or more selections. All picks must win for the parlay to pay out. Higher potential return but significantly lower probability.
- Futures
- Long-term bets on outcomes determined at the end of a season or tournament, such as championship winners, MVP awards, or win totals.
- Live Betting (In-Play)
- Placing wagers while a game is in progress. Odds update continuously based on score, time remaining, and game flow.
- Overround
- The total implied probability across all outcomes in a market. An overround above 100% represents the bookmaker's margin. Lower overround means better value for bettors.
