Online sports betting platform takes $110K bet on Oilers winning the Stanley Cup

There is no doubt that the Edmonton Oilers are currently on a roll with a new lease on life since making a coaching change last week and trusting Jay Woodcroft with the head coaching job.

Last night, the Oilers remained a perfect 4-0 under Woodcroft, making a comeback to rout the Anaheim Ducks 7-3. The Canadian team now sits third in the Pacific Division.

And fans are getting excited. One in particular got so excited that he or she placed in a bet on the online sports betting platform Draftkings Sportsbook for 110,000$ on the Oilers winning the Stanley Cup.

If ever at this point into the regular season he or she is correct on this crazy gamble, that person will get a payout of $4.5 MILLION!

Now, I am not saying that Edmonton does not hold a shot: it’s be hard to not to admit that Woodcroft’s ways are working and he has been able to teach a new system in which star players like captain Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are supported and play less minutes in order to still have gas in the tank once the playoffs roll around. Under the former AHL coach, Derek Ryan, Jesse Puljujarvi, Warren Foegele and Zach Hyman scored for the Oilers, who have gone 9-1-2 in their last 12 outings.

It seems like a new season has begun for the Oilers, though I cannot imagine already making a huge bet on their chances of making it all the way to the Stanley Cup finals and hoisting the trophy…
But as you see, the payout is massive and impressive and hey, if you have the cash to gamble on a team that’s on fire at the moment, let’s do it.

Though, the Oilers still have 34 games to go into the 2021-22 regular season, and you never know what can happen…
