2007 Stanley Cup Odds at Sportsbook.com

Sportsbook.com, the world's largest online sports book and casino, will offer Futures odds on who will win Lord Stanley's mug in 2007.

The Marketing Director at SportsBook.com, Mr. Alex Czajkowski said "Everybody bets and bettors really understand the value of Futures odds"

"Just look at the Carolina Hurricanes who opened the lines last summer at the bottom of the odds chart at 100-1. Every bettor who took his chance and bet $1,000 on the eventual Cup winners was looking at $100,000 in winnings! It's this kind of action that makes Futures odds so well-liked with our clients."

Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs. Sportsbook.com lists the Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings as the pre-season favorites with 6-1 odds, followed by the 2006 Stanley Cup winning Carolina Hurricanes at 10-1 and the San Jose Sharks, Philadelphia Flyers, Buffalo Sabres, Calgary Flames and New Jersey Devils deadlocked at 12-1.

In case you are searching for the biggest payout you don't need to look no more. You have the 100-1 long shot Washington Capitals, Chicago Blackhawks, St. Louis Blues, or Pittsburgh Penguins.
