Help me understand a hockey line....

I rarely bet hockey, and definitely don't dig deep into all the various bets available.

Ok, so tonight's Cal/Sea game has a line for Team to score(goals) and has lines for 1st , 2nd and Neither, up to 5 goals
Cal 5th +190, Sea 5th +155, Neither +170

i assume choosing Neither would mean i don't think either team will reach 5 goals.

But then there's a race to (goals) and it has lines for each team and for neither, and the line for neither team to reach 5 goals is -275

What? TIA

Confusing price indeed.

I'm guessing the prop pays +170 that there won't be a 5th goal combined total in the game.
But if there is a 5th goal it's more likely to be scored by Kraken who are the slight ML favorite.

These 3 way lines, I believe are more commonly dealt at the Euro books

Tonight Pinnacle was dealing under 4.5 total at +289 I believe.

The 1st did make me think they meant who would score the 5th goal total in the game, but way it was worded i wanted to make sure.

the 2nd one about a race to 5 goals, i interpreted that as which team would get to 5 first. Which i thought was very odd considering the total for game was 5.5 total goals.
In my mind i was like "i don't think neither team will score FIVE goals."

I ended up passing and should've went my gut instinct to begin with and bet the dog, Cal -that's the only reason i was looking into the lines more in-depth and noticed those lines - it was bet365 - but i passed and didn't play any nhl.

Bet365 is huge. The brother and sister owners are both multi-billionaires.

They've always gambled with both hands in the UK and Ireland.
Bet365 executed a business plan to close all the Bet365 physical betting shops about 20-25 years ago and
concentrate on internet gambling exclusively while expanding in Europe and elsewhere world wide.

To coin a phrase from Sam "Ace" Rothstein (Robert De Niro) in Casino, "they run a square joint".

Before PASPA was overturned, I was fortunate one time to run up a balance, low 5 figures, and they paid via bank wire transfer in 2 days.
No issues or fees. Good Times.
