final outcomes. eg. Habs beat Sabres 3-2 in a shootout...Habs get the win. The Bruins are -1.5...so they need to win by 2 goals for the bet to win. The other games, you're just picking the winners essentially.
oh, ok. usually the -.5 means regulation only betting, meaning a team that's -.5 has to win in regulation, or else it's a loss (tied after regulation would count as a "draw"). since you're saying they're MLs (OT included), I bought back some of my bets.
I understand. for amateur bettors, it's usually best to keep it simple and just put who wins. Maybe for the next poll don't include the .5s? That's why I thought you might be doing something different. The 1.5 is fine if you don't want to do tilted MLs (like Boston is about a -200 favorite in this case).
I should probably sit down with you on an AIM session at some point....and we can put together some vbetting process. I'm kind of winging this as I go.
