Well we have (64-50)/50 which is a 28% better deal at the Boyd, betting on a Puck Line wager for the Lightning than at William Hill as you correctly stated (It's been years since I made a sports wager but I think I got the notation right).

At first glance this is what my brain immediately computed.
However, a few moments later my brain or the voices in my brain said it's 14 dollars extra on every hundred dollars bet.
This would bring it to a 14% differential.
So I think the correct answer is a 14% difference?

I think it gets down to what we want to define Monet. The amount won at the Boyd is $64 and the amount won at William Hill is $50 if the bet wins which is 28% (for each hundred wagered). So that's just a definition really. It's also true that you receive $14 more dollars for each $100 bet at the Boyd versus William Hill if the bet wins. The 1st definition is "Money Won % Differential per bet of the same amount" and the 2nd definition is "win amount differential divided by $100 wager" both are correct IMHO, they are just different metrics. I.E. Definition 1 takes into account just the win amounts (the amounts wagered are the same for both bets so they aren't considered). If you find the 2nd definition (14%) more useful for defining how much one bet is better versus the other you should use it for your evaluations IMHO.

Thanks Bosox, I appreciate the complement and I think the same of you and Monet.
