My pure guess is that it means the sharks are 15% more likely to win, based on placed bets. (twitter.com)

It means the TOTAL points has to be over 6.5 goals--so 7 goals scored by both teams combined, for you to win if you bet the OVER 6.5 -- nm* - Flavorize Feb 16, 23:08 1
- And just as Reagan said, you'd win 100 on a $115 bet--so total of $215 would be coming back to you, after you won -- nm - Flavorize Feb 16, 23:09
No, it means that you'll get 100 back on a 115 bet if they win. -- nm - Reagen Feb 16, 19:07 4
- $100 profit, right? Not a loss of $15? :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 19:09 3
  - Its just another way to level the odds. Instead of adjusting the points, they adjust what you pay. -- (edited) - Volnelk Feb 16, 20:44 1
    - and it's an implied 53.5% win chance -- nm - Reagen Feb 16, 20:46
  - Oops, I misread it -- nm* - Krusty Feb 16, 19:14
