Risky Business: A must win situation

Risky Business is brought to you by NHL odds site Betway!

It’s Game 4, we’re in LA, and that can only mean one thing. I have to do my part to manifest this win for the Edmonton Oilers. I need to send a message to the Hockey Gords that shows them just how important this game is for both the team and its fanbase. While I know that most of you would say that what I’m betting will have no effect on the game, I will be doing my part to make this happen despite your doubts. I will do whatever it takes to help this team win, and anything less has me questioning your commitment to excellence. Fair? I keed, I keed. Actually, you know what, we need to try everything we can think of to make this win happen.

If you’re following along at home, the odds I’ll be using for my game day betting articles all season come from Betway. Here’s what I’m putting down against the Kings.

Evan Bouchard over 2.5 shots at +110. My $5 bet would return $10.50.

Connor McDavid over 3.5 shots at -167. My $5 bet would return $8.00.

Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl both to score at +240. My $5 bet would return $17.00.

Edmonton over LA on the money line and Boston over Florida on the money line at 2.60. My $5 bet would return $13.04.

I don’t even care that I went 2/4 on my bets for Game 3. I would have much rather struck out and had the Oilers win, ya know?

And there you have it, friends. Now that you know what I’m betting on — I’ll be throwing one unit down on each bet, for the record — feel free to hit me up in the comments section to let me know what you’re looking at against the Kings.
