If the playoffs taught me anything, it’s that betting with my heart against the Calgary Flames can never go wrong. Sure, you may suggest that this is the worst betting advice you’ve ever heard, but after the way our heroes were able to run the show against the Flames when it mattered most, I’m assuming a simple regular season game should be easy. Dare to dream? I’m an optimist.
If you’re following along at home, the odds I’ll be using for Risky Business all season come from Betway. Here’s what I’m putting down against the Flames:
Player Prop:
Leon Draisaitl to hit 2+ points at -118. My $5 bet would pay out $9.25.
Easy Money:
Over 1.5 total power play goals in the game at -125. My $5 bet would pay out $9.
Risky Business:
Evander Kane to score 2 or more goals. My $5 bet would pay out $40.
Can’t Miss Parlay:
Florida over Buffalo on the ML and Boston over Arizona on the Puck Line at 2.71. My $5 bet would pay out $13.56.
Last Game:
- Leon Draisaitl to score 2+ points at 1.90. My $5 bet would pay out $9.54 ✅
- Connor McDavid any time goal at 1.95. My $5 bet would pay out $9.75. ✅
Evander Kane first goal scorer at 8.00. My $5 bet would pay out $40.- Over 6.5 total goals and Leon Draisaitl to register 2+ points at 2.62. My $5 bet would pay out $13.12. ✅
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 Flames.
