Betting Types, Terminology, and Examples

 - (ML) moneyline - This is simple because you just pick who will win (V) visitor, (T) tie, or (H) home.

                     (V)   -   (T)    -  (H)
BOS at VAN  1.75 - 45.50 - 2.25 - predicting a tie pays big because it is rare and hard to predict.

Examples:   
   if I bet 25 BB on Vancouver then my payout if they win is 2.25 x 25 = $56.25
   if I bet 25 BB on Boston then my payout if they win is 1.75 x 25 = $43.75
   if I bet 25 BB on a tie then my payout if I win is 45.50 x 25 = $1137.50                               
 
 - (O/U) over/under - This is a bet on the total points scored for both teams combined in a weekly matchup.

BOS at VAN  250 total points - This has a payout of 2.00 either way you bet.

Examples:
   if I bet 25 BB on the over and the score was 124 - 131. The total would be 255 so I would win 2.00 x 25 = $50
   if I bet 25 BB on the under and the score was 124 - 131. I lose my 25 BB and they are deducted from my account.
 
 - (PS) point spread - This is when you pick a team to win but you get points to even out the difference between favorites and underdogs

BOS -7.5 at VAN - This means Boston is the favorite to win by 8 points or more. If the Point Spread was -7 and Boston won by 7 then it would be a push and your BB are returned to your account. This has a payout of 2.00 either way.

Examples
  if I bet 25 BB on Vancouver to cover the spread and the score is BOS 118 - VAN 112 then I win because Boston only won by 6 points. I would win 2.00 x 25 = $50

 if I bet 25 BB on Boston to cover and the score is BOS 118 - VAN 112 then I lose because the did not win by enough points. I would have 25 BB deducted from my account.

Thanks, but I can't take all the credit. Drew has helped me a lot with formatting and inserting information.

Some league stats and other things will be posted here in the future. Things like General Manager(lifetime coaching records), players and goalies of the week, and league records.

Chicago is planning to relocate to Winnipeg at the start of the 2012-13 season upon league approval.
