STANLEY CUP/CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP MARKETS
The professional bettors (sharps) are betting on:
🏒 Maple Leafs +1000
🏒 Oilers +900
The highest liabilities are:
🏒 Avalanche +600
The best outcomes are:
🏒 Panthers +800
Other good outcomes are:
🏒 Golden Knights +1000
🏒 Hurricanes +900
Stanley Cup odds are listed, but, the conference markets are mostly aligned.
The sharps have been on the Maple Leafs and Oilers since the beginning of the year. Two of the biggest liabilities (Rangers and Bruins) didn’t even make the playoffs, and so the books are in pretty good shape.
There are two other sharp sides, one other best outcome, and a few more good outcomes and borderline teams. Those are all found in the Betting Market Digest.
