Default A new improved system for betting Hockey totals

Make every total 5.5. That way when doing a board run, or quoting numbers, you could just say "over -125", without having to referance a total AND a money line, just a moneyline.

To draw an anology, imagine if the puck line wasn't a std -1.5, and every book had to put up a spread and ML on the puck line. TOO COMPLICATED!!

Just make every total 5.5. Simplify. Further, it will avoid ever having a push where the book makes no money. I'd deal every total at 5.5 if I was a book, simpler, easier to explain, and better for the book.

Great idea, which is probably why it will never happen. I didn't figure you to be interested in pucks.

I don't care ...... I just hate stupid systems that are only there based on "
we have always done it that way".

Why not run my idea by a book or two?

I think you are in a good position to do that. I miss the old pucklines, +1, -1.5. I did very well with them, no juice, lots of pushes, but lots of winners.
