Chicago vs. Los Angeles: Western Conference Final Double Dip

We love the fact that the last four Stanley Cup winners are all still alive in the 2013 National Hockey League playoffs. We’re equally in love with our opportunity to double dip and guarantee a payday on the West Final.

Los Angeles, the defending Cup Champs, vs. Chicago, Cup Champs in 2010, is the Western Conference Final match-up and Game One goes at 5:00 PM ET on June 1, 2013, from the United Center in the Windy City.

April NHL Playoff Futures investing pays dividends in June

On April 30th, we advised our loyal readers to invest a Franklin on the Los Angeles Kings to win the 2013 NHL Western Conference Championship with the +685 ML offered at BetOnline. Being as nothing is guaranteed yet, and because we believe in the Greed Kills mantra, we turn back to the betonline.ag sportsbook to check on the series prices set for the Blackhawks vs. Kings West Final clash. We are equally excited about the thrilling puck action and our guaranteed series winner.

Hope for a lot and possibly miss out? Take a smaller guaranteed return?

Bookmakers at BetOnline have posted Chicago as -155 ML chalk to win the West. Since we know that we’ll earn 685 units if the Kings beat the Blackhawks, we can take some of that dough and drop it on Chicago. We were hoping for a better price but we will guarantee a payday by backing the Hawks with a 400 unit investment. If the Champs win we bank 285 units – if the Hawks soar to the West Final title, we cover the Kings Futures wager and add 158 units to our bankroll.

Editors Note: When investing in sports, from a long haul perspective, understanding Futures bets, and then properly investing in them, is a sharp tool that every handicapper should have in their toolbox. Also, don’t be shy to take guaranteed money and run all the way to bank!
