So they are going to make the playoffs? Like I said, I had to make a few calls to be sure that Lightning was actually Tampa Bay. It might as well be the Israel basketball league to me, cause I know nothing.Doug said:Bet a few hundred Illini, or whatever they'll take, it's an overlay. 30 teams, defending champs, play-off team, sure pay-off if it wins ( being Vegas), hedgable later, great value at 40. I'd take a piece at 30 online, a chunk at 40, but I have Carolina already at 40.
You can do them not to win with Pinny as a future scalp, assuming they make play-off round. Line is off enough to put $500 on it, if they take that much.
Fishhead said:illini---Yes, they are a HUGE favorite to make the playoffs.......they have an 8 pt lead over the 9th place team and a very favorable schedule to work with the remainder of the way!!
It is not a GREAT wager at 40-1, but it is worth a small shot.
The thing is, this is just not an ORDINARY team you have at 40-1.........THIS IS A VERY GOOD HOCKEY TEAM and the DEFENDING CHAMPIONS!
As you know, I watch 80% of the Lightning games and have very good feel for this club.

PS-Why dont you put $5 on it for Mermaid as a gift of kindness........she LOVES the Lightning.
