Leafs to win Cup +10000

[mathdotcom]

I think they will make the playoffs. Could be profitable :-)

[Deuce]

Give me the cash instead, ace.

I like the way you think.

I think they will make the playoffs as well.

[mathdotcom]

Don't worry, Deuce. I will hedge when they make the finals vs. Wings

[Ira Wilton]

You guys are out of your minds. This team has maybe a 20% chance to make the playoffs. Are you both from Ontario?

[mathdotcom]

No I am not

Anyone who has been watching them knows they're better than they look on paper.

[element1286]

Better than they are on paper, yes. A playoff team, no way. Still giving up too many goals, and the goal scoring isn't gonna last all year, they aren't that talented up front.

[mathdotcom]

You've gotta remember, the Leafs are in the East. How can you not make the playoffs in the East?

[Matt Rain]

I like it. They desperately need a goalie though.

[element1286]

You've gotta remember, the Leafs are in the East. How can you not make the playoffs in the East?

Pittsburgh, Montreal, Buffalo, Boston, Washington, Rangers, Carolina, Philadelphia, and New Jersey are better teams. And they are the worst team in their division.

71.6% pk is awful. 57 goals, 2nd in the East, not going to be like that all year.

GL, though.

I'm not. Thank God!!!

[fiveteamer]

Leafs lose tonight.

[Ira Wilton]

I'm not. Thank God!!!

You're not out of your mind or you're not from Ontario?

Seriously anyone that thinks the Leafs are +10000 to win the cup go to matchbook and I will match that. I don't have much liquidity so I can only take $10 to pay $1000.

Let me know in advance (in this thread).

[fiveteamer]

I don't care if it's +100000, it is a losing bet.

The Leafs have a chance to make the playoffs.

[joe the gambler]

The Leafs certainly have a shot to make the playoffs, and anyone saying they don't hasn't watched them play at all this year. People assume they are playing over their head, BUT this team should actually have a better record than they have with the way they've played this year. Their record doesn't do them justice.

With that said, I can't see any way this team goes far in the playoffs, even if they do make it. They would be gone in one round against either Montreal or New York. They aren't a shoe in for the playoffs either, I see that as a 50/50 scenario right now. I think this is a losing bet, regardless of the value it may hold.

[fiveteamer]

I thought this thread is about them winning the cup.

who cares about making the playoffs, 2/3 of the league makes the playoffs.

They would get smoked by Pitt or Montreal in the first round.

[Ira Wilton]

So no one wants the Leafs at +10000? I am prepared to lay -10000 at Matchbook (1000 to pay 10).

Still waiting...

[fiveteamer]

Why would someone lock up a g note for $10????

[mathdotcom]

Ira, I have +10000 at pinnie. Don't need you, pal.

Like joe the gambler said, they are playing very well, despite their record. They are never out of any game. If they keep it up they will probably get a real goalie (their real problem right now) for a playoff run.

[fiveteamer]

we are like 10 games in to the season.

These scrubs will be out of gas by the spring.

You actually need talent to win, Leafs don't have much.

an 18 year old leads them in ice time.

unless that 18 year old is bobby orr, you are not going to win the stanley cup.

[Ira Wilton]

Why would someone lock up a g note for $10????

My overall exposure for NHL Stanley Cup at MBis around $1000 - the Leafs bet wouldn't be the only futures action I have.

Mathdotcom,

I can't find Pinnacle's hockey futures posted. Are they up now?

[mathdotcom]

Ira you didnt answer his question.

Sorry, futures were at SBG not pinn

[mathdotcom]

$1000 risked to win $10 like 6-7 months from now lol
You'd get as good a return on a 1% guaranteed bond.

[Ira Wilton]

I thought I answered his question. The $1000 is already "locked up" through exposure to other Stanley Cup futures bets. Maybe that is stupid. Maybe I am stupid.

Look, in sports anything can happen. If you think there is value on the Leafs, go for it!

I would avoid playing at SBG they are rated D- by SBR.

[mathdotcom]

It can make sense to lock up $10 to win $1000 for 6-7 months, but not the other way around.

If you're locking up $1000 worth of futures, thats fine, so long as you're not taking bets on who won't win the cup, at odds of -10000 etc.

[Ira Wilton]

ok thanks for the facts. Good luck with your bet.

[Ira Wilton]

Carib has the leafs at +5000 to win the Conference

[fiveteamer]

rather give my money to Vegas Dave than bet the Leafs to win anything.

[Ira Wilton]

What about to win the Tavares sweepstakes?

[fiveteamer]

I would not bet on that, either.

[watertight]

smoke another one
