Hot Gambling News: What’s Next on Tap – 2012 Stanley Cup Finals Odds
Your hot gambling news for May 31, 2012, the early day edition, had the 2012 Stanley Cup Final odds set at Kings to win minus-170, and the New Jersey Devils, plus+150 at Sportsbook.
The Kings are just shredding up the record books this postseason. Along with becoming just the second No. 8 seed ever to make the Finals (along with Edmonton in 2006), Los Angeles is first team in NHL history to go undefeated on the road en route to the Cup Finals, posting a perfect 8-0 record away from home. On Wednesday, history was once again not on the Kings’ side: the home team has won Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals six straight times, and the road team has won Game 1 only two times since 2000.
Once more the Kings defied history with a win over New Jersey, taking Game 1.
The Kings success in this postseason has been made simpler by their road dominance. In all three series, L.A. was able to take a 2-0 lead in the series before ever stepping foot on home ice. Los Angeles won each of their three Game 1’s by two goals (4-2 over the Canucks, 3-1 over the Blues, and 4-2 over the Coyotes).
….Some important betting odds changes and additions became available Wednesday at Sportsbook. Let’s take a look.
