    Why do books even bother putting these Lines out?

    So NHL is starting.....odds to who makes the playoffs....standard future prop...

    Not expecting the biggest limits....Maybe $500...yeah....no...

    $100 is all they'll take....


    They should want to tie up money for futures, no???
    At least adjust the line and let me bet again for another $100...ugh...so lame.

    Yeah Bodog is a real risk averse shop. Stopped playing there years ago as was tired of their BS. Would recommend Heritage but know you started a thread about issues signing up. Much better shop though.

    It's pretty early. Limits might go up as we get close to season opener.

    Average bettor will not put that much into a future anyway plus it takes away any sharp money that could come in and create a lot of liability

    They are the 76ers of NHL. Finally will make the playoff easily but will exit right before finals. The season after is their year.

    sharks to make playoffs at -275 and to win division at +275 have some value

    conference/stanley cup futures are always too much of a crap shoot for my liking... but to make playoffs when there are so many garbage teams is easy $$$

    western conference only has 15 teams, you can eliminate vanc/ariz so 8/13 teams make the playoffs, an average team should be -170 and a top tier team like sharks is only -275? joke, should be -600
