Edmonton at Calgary
Edmonton +0.5

I placed a bet for this...What exactly does this mean? Im thinking that it means I picked edmonton to win the game. Is that right?

Thanks

Dude are you serious? You shouldn't be placing bets you don't understand, that's a quick way to lose cash. Anyway, you picked edminton getting a half a goal, if they win or tie you win, if they lose (even by one) you're out the cash.
