Looking To Hedge NHL Playoffs Bets

Manchild84 · #1 09-24-2007, 07:38 PM

I made a couple bets with a coworker, and since the odds are nowhere near right, I'm hoping I can hedge and lock in a profit.
The bets are:

1) The Edmonton Oilers make the playoffs (at 1:1).
2) The Calgary Flames make the 2nd round of the playoffs (at 2:1)

I can't find anywhere that offers these kinds of bets though. Am I out of luck? Or has anyone seen anything like that around ?

lol oilers at even money to get into the PO?

i sure hope you're fading those northern greasers?

.... You will be able to set up a pseudo hedge later on off of tradesports.com

Fading? (Sorry... I'm kinda new to sports betting and didnt see it in the FAQ).
I'm betting that the Oilers will miss and that the Flames will make then 2nd round (I figured it was a bit of a freeroll since the Oil are such a longshot at the playoffs. Id like to cover my bases either way though.)

ya sorry i meant you're fading as in going against the oilers .... i assumed this has to be an Alberta thing where the stubborn oiler fan is letting pride get in his way, and you are ready to fleece him.

To be honest I would just max out that oilers bet and skip the flames one 2:1 ... there's a little value there but not a lot (most sites have them as 8:1 - 10:1 to win the west)
