    How To Bet On Stanley Cup Final

    Stanley Cup champions are remembered forever and that idea is not lost on the players involved. Those guys know they’ve got a chance to be immortalized with their name forever engraved on the Cup should their team come out on top. With so much on the line, it’s important as a bettor to remember that those NHL players are human too, and nerves and adrenaline will play a part in any Stanley Cup Final for both sides. Those nerves can play a huge part in deciding the outcome of a game, so predicting which side may be more affected by those nerves has to be included in your handicapping.

    Along those same lines, it’s a huge plus for a team that’s got a core group of guys who have been through the pressure of a Stanley Cup Final before (won or lost). Those players have a much better idea of what to expect when the pressure is at its highest and can react accordingly. That’s a big reason why we’ve seen two teams in Chicago and the L.A Kings take home five of the past six Stanley Cups entering the 2015-16 season.

    Finally, as with any new series in the playoffs, there is always going to be a feeling out process for two new combatants. Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final is where you’ll see this process the most evident as both sides are experiencing the nerves of being in the Final and neither team wants to drop that first game. There will typically be less risks taken and more preventative rather than aggressive play. That style of hockey is music to the ears of totals bettors who aren’t afraid to play a lot of ‘unders.’
