100x/(x+1) where x = ml if you plan on betting $100 on a game with -1.30 ml and +1.60 pl 100(1.30)/(1.3 + 1) =130/2.3 =$56 on the ml........therefore $44 on pl works out to approx. +1.15 for the -1 spread
Or you can PM me your e-mail address and I will send you an excel spreadsheet that will calculate it for you.

I don't get it either and have never heard a good explanation.

Reason being that if the game goes into OT you don't lose on a regulation line or PL and you get the juice way down. This is for use on higher juiced faves. Tons of 1 goals gamed are played.
That's why you would play it. |

This is the one I have been sending out for years. Not sure which one you sent me. Did you want me to e-mail it to you ? |

But if someone has bet a high priced fav and the game went to OT they've made a bad bet. I admittedly don't have the numbers but it seems to me OT and SO are close to coinflips. They aren't even part of the game. In OT you are playing with 20% fewer players and a SO is a pure crapshoot. Longterm if you've got 100 favs that go to OT your going to lose money, thus you've made a bad bet.
All the -1 does it "appear" to cover for making a bad bet if it goes to OT. It may reduce some juice and turn losses into pushes but it also turns all 1 goal regulation wins (and possible -1.5 wins) from wins into pushes or losses. The regulation bet is IMO a far, far, better bet.

There are way too many OT games for my liking for regulation plays. Also the games that go into OT the better team most of the time will have an advantage considering they were the so called better team. Better horses on the ice.
Sometimes I will adjust this to a regulation if the goaltender I wager on is really bad in the SO's. Hasek was a prime example of this. I would always play the Wings or who the hell he played for in regulation, because he was just horrible in the SO. |

In theory that sounds logical but the numbers don't play out that way. Here is a very rough example:
Last season all 14 non-playoff teams (theoretically bad teams) went a combined 134-148 in OT and SO games. Still a 48% winning percentage. If you had bet against all those teams in those games (assuming they were dogs) with the -1 line it would have saved you only 14 times over the whole season.
But the problem is those same 14 teams lost in regulation by exactly 1 goal a whopping 123 times.

But that's the exact point I am making with the -1 line. If you played the regulation line it would not make any difference in the outcome of OT at all.
Because if you played the regulation line you would of already lost.  |

This formula was posted in the past for getting a -1 Run Line: Say the Money line is -190 Take 100/190 = 0.53 take the 0.53 and add 1 = 1.53 then take the 1.53 and divide it again.. 100/1.53 = 65.39 now 65.39 is what you are going to risk on the ML... what ever the payout of that, you take that and risk it on the RL and thats how you get the -1 RL
