What this means is if you bet $100 for the Sabres to win, you would get $50 in winnings or $150 back.

Go Sabres!!

You'll win $170 or a total of $270 ($100 + $170).

How do you do the calculations.
i.e how does -200 on a $100.00 bet =$50.00

Yes, right on the button. On the other side +200 would equal $200 in winnings for a total of $300.

Well then. You learn something new everyday. I never understood NHL lines.

It's a Money Line

-200 means for every dollar won, you need to bet $2.00

+ 175 means for every $1.75 won, you need to bet $1.00
