Casino S52

On behalf of the casino team I would like to apologize for the lack of media this season. Inf1d3l was very sick and I’ve been pretty busy with school, though I won't lie, I have been slacking. Anyways, here is your very late casino recap.

With 50 betters, 20 parlays, and $145.4 million on the line this season, the casino saw a slight dip in participants and money which could possibly be due to how much the casino won last time. 

As of 2/15 sim:

Buffalo Stampede
Over/Under 28.5 games
Current Record: 24-14-3
On Pace For: 29-17-4
Over Bets: 0
Under Bets: 5

The Buffalo Stampede have had a season full of ups and downs as they have been very inconsistent this season, having long hot streaks, but equally as long cold streaks. Even with 24 wins, they will have to stay on top of their game with how close the eastern conference is and having to play 8 conference games to end the season. For the 5 under betters the Stampede will have to lose 5 of the last 9 games of their season for them to win. 

Calgary Dragons
Over/Under 28.5 games
Current Record: 18-18-4
On Pace For: Under betters win
Over Bets: 2
Under Bets: 14

The Calgary Dragons have had a disappointing season to put it lightly. The Dragons had an extremely rough start to this season as they lost 17 of their first 25 games but have made a bit of a late season push that might allow them to just barely squeeze into a playoff spot. Congratulations to the 14 betters who won!

Chicago Syndicate
Over/Under 25.5 games
Current Record: 23-13-4
On Pace For: 29-16-5
Over Bets: 18
Under Bets: 0

The Chicago Syndicate’s season didn’t look so pretty right from the get go, but since then have proven why 18 people bet over. Seems to be a bit of a trend going on here. The Syndicate are in a similar situation as the Stampede as they are fighting for a playoff spot and seed in a close eastern conference. They will only need 3 wins for the our 18 over betters, but with 9 of their next 10 games being against teams in playoff contentions anything could happen.

Edmonton Blizzard
Over/Under 27.5 games
Current Record: 22-15-3
On Pace For: 28-18-4
Over Bets: 2
Under Bets: 0

The Edmonton Blizzard aren’t looking as dominant as they have been in the most recent seasons, but are still a very good team who are steady playoff contenders in what seems to be a somewhat weakened western conference. This one will be a very close bet as the Blizzard are just barely on pace to break that 27.5 game threshold as they will have to win 6 of their last 10 games.

Hamilton Steelhawks
Over/Under 27.5 games
Current Record: 27-11-2
On Pace For: 34-14-2
Over Bets: 13
Under Bets: 2

Unfortunately for our 2 under betters, unless Hamilton has a meltdown for the history books it looks like the other 13 betters will be the ones getting paid. Hamilton has been an absolute powerhouse this season as they are sitting on top of the league with their 27 wins. Even with probably the hardest schedule to end the season, as I mentioned they will have to have a complete meltdown to not meet that 27.5 game line as they only need to eek out 1 win.

Los Angeles Panthers
Over/Under 27.5 games
Current Record: 18-18-4
On Pace For: 23-22-5
Over Bets: 5
Under Bets: 3

The Los Angeles Panthers made some huge moves in free agency, acquiring 2 very high tpe players and it seems to be paying off somewhat as they are currently at 18 wins and fighting for a playoff spot. As for the casino and the 5 over betters, it’s not paying off so much. Though it is not impossible, those 3 under betters on the other hand can sit comfortably knowing that the Panthers will need to win every single game left in order for them to lose.

Manhattan Rage
Over/Under 27.5 games
Current Record: 25-16-0
On Pace For: 31-19-0
Over Bets: 3
Under Bets: 2

After a very good 26 win season, the Manhattan Rage are about to surpass that mark as they are a very good team that have been dominant all season which has landed them 2nd in the whole league and in a very tight eastern conference. Another diverse bet here with Manhattan, but unfortunately for under betters the Rage only need 3 wins to break the 27.5 win line. 

Minnesota Chiefs
Over/Under 19.5
Current Record: 15-18-7
On Pace For: 19-22-9
Over Bets: 7
Under Bets: 0

With the acquisition of a new GM and a bit of a retooling of their team, the Chiefs are right on pace to match their previous season of 19 wins. The Minnesota Chiefs were looking good on passing those 19 wins until just recently as they have lost 5 of their last 10 games. This bet will go down to the wire for out 7 betters as they need to win half of their remaining games this season. 

New England Wolfpack
Over/Under 25.5
Current Record: 20-15-5
On Pace For: 25-19-6
Over Bets: 13
Under Bets: 1

A very lopsided bet like the Hamilton one but unfortunately for betters, this one doesn’t look like a clear payout for the majority. With 20 wins on the season, the Wolfpack are looking to squeeze past Toronto to take the 4 seed in the eastern conference. As for their bet they will need to win 6 games which is undoubtedly doable for this team, but unfortunately for them and over betters, New England has a tough schedule ahead.

New Orleans Specters
Over/Under 28.5
Current Record: 20-15-6
On Pace For: 24-19-7
Over Bets: 7
Under Bets: 1

Only one lucky better will be happy to hear that after the loss of one of their best players, the Specters are falling very short of the 36 wins they put up last season. The Specters are fighting for a playoff spot in the west and with a relatively weak schedule to end the season they should be able to make it. Can’t say the same for the 28.5 win line they will need to pass for an over bet win as like the Panthers they need to go undefeated to end the season.

San Francisco Pride
Over/Under 26.5
Current Record: 23-11-6
On Pace For: 29-14-7
Over Bets: 0
Under Bets: 0

As 0 bets were made, no one will be benefitting or losing from this one. With the acquisition of a big name free agent this past off-season, the Pride are looking nothing like their previous selves as they are sitting on top of the western conference. They are currently on pace for a 29 win season but with how strong they have looked this season and a not so strong looking schedule they could definitely possibly pass that mark.

Tampa Bay Barracudas
Over/Under 25.5
Current Record: 12-24-4
On Pace For: Under betters win
Over Bets: 1
Under Bets: 12

With a dismantling of the Tampa Bay roster this past off-season, the Barracudas are currently the worst team in the whole league. Unfortunately for the casino, participants seemed to see that coming and jumped on the chance for payout with only 1 person predicted for the water dogs to surpass 25.5 wins. The Barracuda will need a miracle of the ages for a chance at playoffs but with how this season went I hope that’s not what they are aiming for at this moment. Congratulations to all under betters!

Texas Renegades
Over/Under 18.5
Current Record: 18-19-3
On Pace For: 23-23-4
Over Bets: 4
Under Bets: 1

This season has been a pleasant surprise for betters as the Texas Renegades are currently fighting in a close battle for a western conference playoff spot as they are sitting at 5th in the conference with 18 wins. Will definitely be a close one with how well Calgary and Los Angeles have been playing as of late. Same can’t be said for this 18.5 win bet however as they only need 1 win for that.

Toronto North Stars
Over/Under 17.5
Current Record: 21-13-5
On Pace For: Over betters win
Over Bets: 9
Under Bets: 2

After the loss and soon retirement of Lokitonov, Toronto seemed to be a rebuilding team but with great seasons across the board for their forwards and a stellar season from their goalie, Harry Carpet they are a surprising playoff contender. Even though 9 of you predicted they would go over 17.5 wins, I’m sure none of you expected this as they are currently at 21 wins and are on pace for 27. Congratulations to everyone who voted over!

West Kendall Platoon
Over/Under 22.5
Current Record: 17-22-1
On Pace For: 21-28-1
Over Bets: 3
Under Bets: 2

West Kendall aren’t having a very great season after putting up 25 wins last season and the same can be said for 22.5 wins they will need to obtain for over betters. It will be very unlikely to see West Kendall’s name in this year's playoffs as they are on pace for 21 wins which is well below what the rest of the eastern teams are on pace for. They will need to squeak out at least 6 more wins this season in order for an over win and if the last few games are any indicator, under betters can relax comfortably, but seeing as the rest of their schedule are against teams around their record it should be a very close finish for all betters.

Winnipeg Jets
Over/Under 23.5
Current Record: 18-22-0
On Pace For: 23-27-0
Over Bets: 0
Under Bets: 3

The Jets had a very shaky start to the season but slowly brought it back as the season progressed to bring them to 18 wins on the season and possibly a chance at a low playoff spot. The rest of this season is gonna be extremely close to the 3 under betters as they are on pace to end just barely under the line, but with only 6 wins needed to go over, only time will tell for this Jets team.

So as the season is coming to an end and a few bets closed we will have to see what happens to the rest. Should be quite interesting to see if teams can break the odds and beat out what they are predicted to end with or maybe even if someteams do the opposite and fall short. I hope you all enjoyed this casino recap. Thank you to everyone participating in this season's casino, and good luck!

Each Hamilton cheat-win should be a half win in the standings
