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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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:

4-1:

6-1:

8-1:

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

2-1:

4-1:

6-1:

8-1:

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.
