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

If you’re reading this right now you already know that the Oilers are in a tough spot and that a matchup with the Panthers won’t be an easy road to getting out of it. To say that our side isn’t playing at the top of their game would be an understatement, but my hope is that a dance with a very good Florida team will be enough to jolt them out of this funk. Maybe going up against Matthew Tkachuk for the first time since knocking Calgary out of the playoffs can wake the boys up and fill their hearts with rage? Maybe? Dare to dream.

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 Panthers:

Zach Hyman over 3.5 shots at +120. My $5 bet would return $11.00.

Over 1.5 total power play goals at -134. My $5 bet would return $8.75.

Leon Draisaitl over 2 assists at +187. My $5 bet would return $14.37.

New Jersey over Arizona on the ML, NYI over CBJ on the ML, and Connor McDavid any time point at 2.13. My $5 bet would return $10.66.

My betting game is struggling like the Oilers are and it’s painful both for my heart and my wallet.

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 Panthers.
