So it turned out that Calgary actually had the best payout odds in the league, for what became true contenders. Did anyone put down any money at the beginning of the season?
I put $100US on the Flames to win the cup when I was down in Vegas at the start of the season. I think it was 33-1. Thought I lost my ticket when I went looking for it a few weeks back, but I did track it down!
Flames were 10-1 at the Bellagio last week to win the Cup. I generally don't make futures bets but was going to put down a few bucks anyway and just ran out of time.
Taking the Flames -1.5 and the over vs. Kings last Monday had me gun shy about betting on my team.
