The NHL is now at that point of the season where the tables are starting to take shape and for those of you who like to place a bet, your eyes will surely be turning to the Stanley Cup next Spring. Last year threw up a few surprises, with Canadian dominance taking a further backseat as the Canadiens were the only team from Canada in the playoffs. The bookies are predicting the same thing to happen again this year, but out of the teams tipped to be in those playoffs, who is it worth placing a bet on for the win? It’s a little early on in the season just yet, but hopefully we can help you out.
On average as it stands, the bookmakers have the Chicago Blackhawks as favourites to win the Stanley Cup. With most bookies putting them in at odds of 7/1, they are shorter on the odds than you might expect by looking at the tables, where they stand 3rd at time of writing behind St Louis Blues and the Nashville Predators. With that in mind, if you’re feeling brave it may be worth placing a wager on the Predators – with odds of 25/1 and currently top of their division on the back of a 3 game win streak, even a couple of bucks would get you a nice return.
If the odds aren’t to your liking but you still fancy placing a cheeky little wager though, it might be worth taking a look at another way of combining hockey and gambling, for example with Break Away at an online casino like http://www.mobilecasino.mobi. There doesn’t seem much doubt that ice hockey fanatics will find a lot to enjoy about it, as the graphics on the reels are particularly high in quality. Most sports slot games pack the reels with relevant imagery, and Break Away is no different – with hockey players, referees, rinks, pucks and all manner of other sights across them. However the quality of these images is possibly the best with any of these games, and as they light up and are accompanied by audio, the combined effect is pretty thrilling – whether you love ice hockey or not. Of course, this is all well and good, but those of a casino, rather than sports persuasion, will care more about the payout.
