What’s New and Exciting In the World of Hockey Futures?
Well, to be honest, not very much. To update on the Mats Sundin props that were available at Betsson a few weeks ago, he has still not made a decision but the odds have been taken down. The latest rumour (being denied by Sundin’s agent) is that Mats has expressed his interest in playing for the New York Rangers.
On the betting exchange front, Matchbook is yet to put up their hockey market, and only $1,768 has been matched at Betfair.
No sportsbooks that I know of have posted division odds, and Stan James, BetDirect (are owned by same company, have the same odds), and Carib have posted Conference odds.
Usually there is some consensus between sportsbooks, but there are some major differences of opinion between the Stan James odds and the Carib odds. The “%” column is the implied percentage of each team to win the Conference. Whose odds are more accurate?
