What does Over/Under mean in hockey?

Over/Under means betting on the combined total goals scored in a game and predicting if the total will be Over (more) or Under (fewer) a set number.

Should I bet Over 6 (or even 6.5) instead of Over 5.5?

Betting the Over 6 (or 6.5) will produce better odds, but if a game finishes 6-0, 5-1, or 4-2, the Over six bet will push (tie) instead of winning with an Over 5.5 wager.

Why are some NHL totals half a goal?

NHL totals with half a goal (for example, 5.5) are widespread and ensure no tie as teams cannot score exactly 5.5 goals. The game finishes either Over or Under.
