A friend of mine put $1000 on the Kings in August and got $18,000 when they won. He's a Redwings fan who won't bet on his own team. He even bought tickets and flew out for game 6 so he could be there with us when they won(and he won). He's got a picture of his receipt framed with his ticket to the game.

Dallas and Winnipeg provide really good value IMO. Dallas moreso, but if Winnipeg finds a goalie their odds would skyrocket

For people that like risky but high return bets, Buffalo @ +10.000 and Colorado @ +6.600 are cool bets.

Buffalo has Eichel, Kane, and ROR as additions with a horrible defense, while Colorado is coming off an unexpected down year and make some good tweaks to their roster. They at least have a goaltender capable of making a Stanley Cup run should they get in.

I put 200 down on calgary and will probably do another little bit before the season starts. I really do think they have the best defence in the leauge.

If they had gio and hamilton amd frolik and bouma against the ducks...the series goes 7. And with the regression chicago has taken...

On sports interaction oilers are like 50:1 and flames are 19:1. Not sure what bodog is doing.

[DownhillGoat]

^Both at 33:1.

Site I'm on the Flames are 23-1, Oilers 51-1.

That puts the Oilers at 24th and the Flames at 14th, which seems about right.

There is money to be made betting on hockey if you have a decent unbiased understanding of the game and how each side plays.

Hockey lines are the least solid lines set by Vegas, the turnover on it is not even close to the others (NFL, NBA, MLB) which is how smart guys can make a living.

I do this sort of thing for a living and can easily point out the flaws in the markets prices, as most can and have here with this one. The Oilers have no business being at that price.

What site is this! I'm placing a bet on the home team!
