Interesting. A 5.5 total breaks down to 1.83 goals per period, so in theory there is an advantage to betting the over 1.5.
Best of luck, I will keep an eye on this one. Maybe do a little research of my own as well.

Looking at line history by period, I noticed that for a 5.5 total, more often than not you'll get +odds betting the 1.5 over in period 1. If that goes under the odds flip to anywhere from -130 to -165 (in general) for over 1.5 in periods 2-3. I think the value lies in betting only period 1 over.
With the higher odds and chasing through 3 periods, a single loss will be almost 10 units lost at -130 if you chase to win 1 unit.
I'm in the middle of testing last year, and so far over 50% of the games of 5.5 totals go over 1.5 in period 1. At plus odds and playing on labby line, could be a good little profit.
If someone is good at writing scripts for research, please post the formula on this thread. I can't wrap my head around those scripts, tried and failed numerous times.

The only way I could play this would be to do so on a labby line for period 1 only. Period 1 has the lowest odds and my research shows about a 46.5% win rate on the games I tested at 5.5 total over the last 2 years.
Still thinking about this.
