In the example above, a $100 winning wager on the Coyotes would fetch a total return of $245, which includes a $145 win and the original $100 stake. Bettors would receive a larger return on their initial stake with a victory. With the Oilers listed as the favorite, the Coyotes are considered as the underdog. The Oilers would be listed at 1.625 on the big board. The decimal format, particularly popular overseas, is also sometimes offered. Many books also offer fractional odds, and in this instance the Oilers would be listed as a 5/8 favorite. If a bettor making a wager picked the Oilers, favored to win, they would return just $62.50 on a $100 wager at minus-160. In the example listed above, Edmonton is listed as the strong favorite (-), while Arizona is the underdog (+). However, it is a rather easy equation based upon a $100 wager. The majority of betting sites online, as well as the betting apps, will simply do the math for you. The Money Line Odds will list the favorite with a (-) symbol, while the underdogs will be shown with a (+) symbol. Hockey will list Favorites and Underdogs for that day's slate of games.

Similar to our Puck-line and 1st Period Odds, every contest on the board shows the Odds, Date and Time of the National Hockey League contests on the slate. It is simply a win outright, and that's it.
