The online sportsbook announced Wednesday that Monday’s series finale between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers set a new mark as the most-bet NHL game in the operator’s history.
“Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final was not only BetMGM’s most bet NHL game ever, but it was also the ideal outcome for us,” Christian Cipollini, BetMGM trading manager, said. “Game 7 is usually something we want as a sportsbook, and Edmonton coming back down 3-0 drove a lot of Oilers bets. The Panthers were one of our best outcomes throughout the season, so we were hoping Florida could win it in seven.
The extended drama led to a rise in interest. BetMGM said it saw a 24% handle rise from women betting on this Stanley Cup playoffs compared to the previous season. The handle from Canadian bettors also jumped 37% year-over-year, as Edmonton nearly gave the nation its first NHL champion since 1993. One of the biggest stars in the league put his skills on display in the playoffs this year, benefitting fans watching and sportsbooks taking wagers. BetMGM said McDavid’s player props brought in nearly two times as many bets as teammate Leon Draisaitl, who received the second-most wagers.
As popular as McDavid is, he was BetMGM’s third favorite to win the award prior to Game 4, behind Florida’s Sergei Bobrovsky and Matthew Tkachuk. Following McDavid's eight-point breakout in Games 4 and 5, the Oilers captain became the all-but-guaranteed winner. Copyright © 1995 - 2024 CS Media Limited All Rights Reserved.
