NHL Future Bets!

[STONE.]

I'm a fan of betting the longer shots that have a great chance to be in the mix (but not likely to win), and then cashing out when the field starts to narrow and the odds shift in their favor (or, ideally, they actually look to pan out). Worked well for me last year with Barkov for Hart (cashed out before his first injury), Shesty for Hart, and Markstrom for Vezina.

I don't have the odds in front of me, but I took

JHughes for Hart
Pettersson for Hart
Markstrom for Vezina
Ottawa for the Cup

These don't need to win to be successful. Just need to improve on their longer shot odds at the moment.

Jack Quinn +1600 for Calder
Florida Panthers +600 Not to Win The Stanley Cup
Detroit Red Wings +290 To Win The Stanley Cup

Those are strange odds....

Came right from the Vegas Insider.

I still can't get over Seattle at 81.5.

Why is it better odds for the Under!?!?! Did they make a trade I don't know about? Dobber has them at 60 points.

Bet365 members... If you're not in on the Super Boost bets that they've been offering for prime time games, get in now.

They announce them about an hour before the prime time start. By my count they're 4 for 5.

Javonte for a TD - MISS
Rodgers for a single TD (2/1 odds) - HIT
Diggs for a TD (3 or 4/1) - hit
Chubb for a TD - hit
Zeke and Barkley over 50 rushing yards - hit

Soooooo I guess I was very wrong about the Kraken. Holy crap I'm going to be in the hole on this one.

I'd love to know what the best year over year increase has been. With 60 points last year they look like they're going to blow that out of the water.

I wanna say the Leafs Matthews 1st yr was a top 5 turnaround statistically? I can't remember now since it was so long ago, but I kinda remember them talking about that.

2015-16 season, 29w-41l-11OTL, 198GF, 246GA (-48), 69pts
2016-17 season, 40w-27l-15OTL, 251GF, 242GA (+9), 95pts

So a +26pts differential.

Kraken had 60pts last yr (-69GF/GA) and are on pace for 95.67pts (+27.33GF/GA). So yeah, they're on pace to even beat the Leafs turnaround.

Ahh don't count your chickens. Look at how good Anaheim started last year as well. Still lots of hockey left.

I missed this topic earlier but here are the NHL season bets that I made this year:

0.5 units - Dylan Holloway to win Calder at +4000
1 unit - Joe Pavelski under 30.5 goals at -122
4 units - Bruins over 95.5 points at -110

So far only one of the 3 is looking like a winner but it's still very early in the season.

I cannot believe the Bruins right now. Absolutely on fire to start the year.

I missed this thread, but are these really things you can bet on??
I'd hammer these two lol

[saucelife90]

Yeah, not sure about that - "Florida Panthers +600 Not to Win The Stanley Cup"

I'm sure they may be close to +600 To WIN the cup, but +600 to not win it... I'll put my house down on those odds.

Hahah yaaaaaaaaa I can't see the Panthers one being correct.

Season long bets are tough because your funds are tied up for months. But if you find good ones, it's def worth it. I do try to avoid award betting (this is hard to accomplish though lol) because you're not only betting stats, but also narrative. For an MVP before the season starts you are betting stats. But with about 2 months left in a season, narratives start taking a role in MVP discussions. I try to avoid these type of award betting. But I always tend to drop a few bucks on MVP/CY Young/OPOTY/Vezina.

My season long bets right now for new seasons:
Kraken O81.5pts - I think I should have gone Under 81.5pts though lol.
Bengals for division
Bills, KC, Packers to win Divisions.
Herbet MVP
Breece Hall ROTY
CMC Comeback player
Kevin O'Connell (Vikings) Coach of the Year


My season long bets for baseball:
Cards Division - 8 games up on Milwaukee
Manoah Cy Young
Goldschmidt MVP
Ohtani MVP
Cease Cy Young
World Series Jays
Baltimore O62.5w - 73wins
Mariners U84.5w - 79wins
Rangers O73.5w - 61wins
Guardians U76.5w - 74wins
Jays U92.5w (This was a mistake, I wanted over) - 79wins
Jays to win AL

Reading is hard for some people.

The subject is NHL future bets and some idiots post their non NHL bets in this thread lol
