Definition of 60 Minute Line

What does the term "60 minute line" mean in the world of hockey betting? What is meant by the term "60 minute line"?

The term "60 minute line" means that you are betting on where the game will stand at the end of regulation time.

For instance, let's say that the Washington Capitals are playing the Nashville Predators. The 60 minute line might look like this:

Nashville Predators, +215
Draw, +340
Washington Capitals, -105

This line disregards what might happen if the game goes into overtime.

Instead, you are betting on where the game will stand at the end of 60 minutes of regulation time play.

So, if you take the Capitals -105 and they end up winning in overtime, you will LOSE your bet as the game was a draw at the end of regulation time.

If, on the other hand, you took the "Draw" side, you'd win your wager.

If you want to be assured that a tie at the end of regulation won't spoil your bet, you should take a look at the "tie no bet" lines instead.
