I bet Tom Gaglardi bribes the Flames with Moxie's gift cards and that's why they always do so poorly against the Stars. We all know how much the Flames love Moxie's.

Sportselect Info
Flames Win = 2.35
Overtime = 3.5
Stars Win = 2.15
Over 5.5 = 1.65
Under 5.5 = 1.75

Stars have struggled out of the gate this season. Here's hoping we don't serve as the magic potion to get them going. I think the bottom half of our lineup needs to wake up and dominate theirs tonight for us to get the W, as their top guys always do some damage against us. Flames better start on time in this one as a goalie like Bishop can slam the door shut if he's given a lead. I think this one gets to OT but the Flames get the 3-2 win. GFG!

It’s a win-win in my world.

He must be placing huge bets against them every single time.

But "win-win" means that two parties derive some benefit from a single event. You're talking about a single party deriving benefit from two possible outcomes.

Tried that a couple years ago, Dougie Hamilton refused immediately

Dagnabbit, at work tonight and I forgot my jersey at home... I guess I'll be wearing a "third jersey" in the form of a Flames logo taped to my shirt :P

GFG!

What you're describing is what I call a Texas hedge (which seems fitting in Dallas)

I'm predicting a 4-2 W tonight for the Flames. Bennett is the hero of the day with Lucic popping one in too.

4-1 win, top line responsible for all goals with Giordano sprinkling in an assist or two.

I first tried to figure out what the Boeing 777-300ER and 777-200LR had to do with this game before I figured out what you meant.
