They won a lot of games last year, so you must of had some bad luck.

If you can do 15-1 I will do it for a fun bet of $30.

OK. I will take your $30 bet on Knights to win the Stanley Cup. My exposure will be US$450 if Knights win the Stanley Cup. Your exposure will be US$30 if Knights dont win the Stanley Cup. Will settle within 7 calendar days after Cups final. Please confirm with PM. Thanks.

I think this is a good bet on Las Vegas Golden Knights to win the Stanley Cup. They have been playing their best hockey of the season as of late and are a better team on paper than last year in my opinion. I bet 200 dollars to win 2400. I do not think the odds will improve between now and the end of the regular season. Go Knights!

Bold statement for a team coming off their worst season in franchise history.

That is a good bet Babs. The only team you have to worry about is Tampa. I was also going to bet them to win the conference but it was only 4-1 or something close to that.

That was a true statement I can't argue with. Vegas is the second best team in hockey next to Tampa IMO

Boz...were you going to continue to offer this bet? Saw you on today, but not in this thread.

Here's a joke with the bump.

How could you tell there was a leper on the hockey team? There was a face-off in the corner. (Sorry - only hockey joke I know. I'll get the puck out of here now.)

I probably wouldn't have made a bet with you in this situation because I really didn't like the undercut.

I don't know anything more than you do, I have other reasons for making the bet.

Nashville also won last night to stay ahead of them and clinch a playoff spot. :( I have money on the Blues winning the Stanley Cup. But I made the bet in September though, so I didn't get good odds. 12 to 1.

Bovada had it at 12-1 if you bet Vegas. Tampa has been the best team all year and after that it is anyone's guess. Vegas has a team that is built for the playoffs with excellent goaltending and probably the best hitting team in the league.

Well, then, I like my bet with Boz even better. I got my little bird call when I read it. The one that said, bet these numbers on the superfecta Breeders Cup 2015, the one time I bet a serious amount on a horse race. The one that said bet yes safety in 2014 SB. The one that said, you must play this machine 2 weeks ago. Hello, big bux. He doesn't twinge me often, maybe twice a year, but he seems to know what he's talking about. So we'll see.

If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

They�ll most likely be underdogs in all 4 series. If you parlay all 4 series prices you�d probably get somewhere between 15 and 20-1 on them. Maybe a bit higher.

Edit - So that�s why people are giving those odds on here. They can�t lose.

Wouldn't hurt my feelings a bit to see Tampa and Pittsburgh upset this round.

But I guess that's why they have playoffs. Such fun.

islanders were favorites to win both games at home, as well as the series as a whole . That 2-0 result isn�t a big surprise. Columbus on the other hand ..
