Flames host the Avalanche on October 9 and I'm calling a home upset
Betting on a 29th-place side to beat Colorado, that's paying the juice for a reason. 212 goals scored and 259 against in 82 games, the Saddledome crowd can't fix that gap. I'd rather take Calgary on the moneyline at the book only if the price is big enough to be worth it, value over a big price, or nothing. Probably putting my C$ on the Avs, honestly.
Up one week, down the next. Classic.
JackBeliever's math checks out, honestly. Calgary's goal differential sits at minus-47 over 82 games, and that's before you factor in what a stacked Colorado side can do to it on October 9. Home ice is worth something, sure, but 29th place with 39 regulation losses means I'd only touch this via small moneyline singles, not anything serious. If you want the upset angle, the puck line plus-money route is the only way the value roughly works out. 📊

Minus-47 over a full season, sure, but opening night everyone's 0-0 and the Saddledome will be loud. I'd take Calgary on the puck line, small stake only 💸
Bankroll discipline wins.
😂 BenBeliever2014 mate, didn't you call a home upset last October too? How'd that C$ stake work out for ya. Calgary minus-47 goal diff and you're praying opening night magic fixes it. I put this same play on my slip as a laugh, but calling it "confident" is the funniest thing I've read all week 🤡
Can't argue with a loud barn, Enforcer 😂 212 goals all season though, when exactly does the upset come from, vibes? Wait for the fanboys to pile in 🤡
Back in the day I watched worse Flames teams win openers, so Ben's got a point 😄 caveat: Colorado at full speed is another animal. Tiny stake, enjoy the show.
Been here longer than some have followed.
Confident underdog play against a side that leaked 259 goals, sure thing mate 😏 remind me of your ROI before the puck drops?
Show me your ROI first 😏
Took a small slice of the moneyline and passed on the puck line, value over a big price. One night only, see you after the match 💸
Value over a big price 💸
