NHL Stanley Cup Update & Protecting Sportsbook Profits

The 2018 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs is well under way.  Right now, no team looks as strong as the Pittsburgh Penguins. 

The Pens, looking to add a third straight Stanley Cup to their mantle, have become one of the favorites.

Online bookies should keep reading for a Stanley Cup update along with ways to protect sportsbook profits.

NHL Stanley Cup Update: Odds

Odds listed were updated on Wednesday, April 18.

Vegas Golden Knights                                    +350

Nashville Predators                             +425

Tampa Bay Lightning                         +550

Winnipeg Jets                                     +550

NHL Team Updates

Only teams offering Stanley Cup odds at +1000 or below are listed. Those teams, based on the oddsmakers and sports bettors, have the best shot of winning the Stanley Cup. 

The first thing to notice is that the expansion Vegas Golden Knights are a solid squad to win Lord Stanley’s mug.

The Knights are solid favorites because they handed the L.A. Kings a 4-game series sweep. The Knights await the winner of San Jose versus Anaheim.

Anaheim offers something like 100 to 1 odds to win the Stanley Cup. The Sharks should advance.

Could the Knights beat the Sharks? Sure, they could.  Most expect them to.

That’s not the real thing to notice.

What per head agents should notice is that of the 7 teams on the above list, 4 are Western Conference Squads:  Vegas, Nashville, Winnipeg, and San Jose.

The top two betting choices based on odds are the Golden Knights and the Nashville Predators. Those are both Western Conference squads.

However, Pittsburgh leads Philadelphia 3 to 1 in their series. They just ransacked the Flyers 5 to 0 on April 18.

The Pens could battle the Columbus Blue Jackets instead of the Washington Capitals in Round 2 because the Blue Jackets are up 2 to 1 in their series versus the Caps.

Protecting Sportsbook Profits

That brings me to the most important point of all this, and that’s how to preserve profit. The way to preserve profit is to set max betting limits on every team listed.

Emphasize max betting limits on the Boston Bruins and Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Bruins and Pens could face-off in the Eastern Conference Finals. Both offer great value at their current odds. The Pens especially could garner attention.

Some NHL Stanley Cup pro players are already salivating over the 8.5 to 1 betting odds on Pittsburgh, a team that’s won the Stanley Cup the past two seasons in a row.

Set max betting limits. If it gets too crazy on one team, online bookies should take that team off the board.

Protecting your sportsbook profits is especially important for large events such as the NHL Playoffs.
