SHL Casino - Official Report, Part II
#1

With playoffs underway, it's time to take a look at the preseason betting action on the Challenge Cup odds offered. Part I, reviewing the over/under bets, can be found here. There were 63 wagers placed on CC futures - 23 in the (2-1) category, 26 in the (4-1) category, 8 in the (6-1) category, and 6 in the (8-1) category. 

Dragons  Calgary Dragons - (4-1) odds - 16 bets  Dragons

Renegades  Texas Renegades - (4-1) odds - 7 bets  Renegades

Stampede  Buffalo Stampede - (2-1) odds - 7 bets  Stampede

Specters  New Orleans Specters - (2-1) odds - 7 bets  Specters

Platoon  West Kendall Platoon - (2-1) odds - 6 bets  Platoon

pride  San Francisco Pride - (6-1) odds - 5 bets  pride

Blizzard  Edmonton Blizzard - (2-1) odds - 3 bets  Blizzard

Rage  Manhattan Rage - (4-1) odds - 2 bets  Rage

Jets  Winnipeg Jets - (6-1) odds - 2 bets  Jets

Stars  Toronto North Stars - (4-1) odds - 1 bet  Stars

Wolfpack  New England Wolfpack - (6-1) odds - 1 bet and it was probably Ace  Wolfpack

Chiefs  Minnesota Chiefs - (8-1) odds - 1 bet  Chiefs

Barracuda  Tampa Bay Barracuda - (8-1) odds - 1 bet  Barracuda

Panthers  Los Angeles Panthers - (8-1) odds - 1 bet  Panthers

syndicate  Chicago Syndicate - (6-1) odds - 0 bets  syndicate

Calgary at 4-1 was the sexiest pick for many bettors, while not a single person was enticed by Chicago at 6-1. 

The 4 odds tiers in preseason were listed as:

2-1:  Stampede  Blizzard  Specters  Platoon
4-1:  Dragons  Rage  Renegades  Stars
6-1:  syndicate  Wolfpack  pride  Jets
8-1:  Steelhawks  Panthers  Chiefs  Barracuda

If a 4x4 design was used based on final season standings, the tiers would have been:

2-1:  Specters  Barracuda  Platoon  Jets
4-1:  Stampede  Steelhawks  pride  Stars
6-1:  Dragons  Blizzard  Wolfpack  Renegades
8-1:  syndicate  Rage  Panthers  Chiefs

The biggest surprises were Tampa Bay and Hamilton (in the positive direction) and Manhattan and Edmonton (in the negative). The casino will certainly be rooting against Calgary to avoid a major payout, and should consider itself lucky that there were so few bets on Tampa Bay, Winnipeg, and Hamilton.
