NHL Futures Odds

NHL Futures & Odds

An NHL “futures” bet is a bet on an event that will be determined in the future–beyond just the current day or week. Often, futures center around end-of-season results like betting on a team to win the Stanley Cup. NHL futures bets are popular among fans who want to place wagers on long-term outcomes, such as the Stanley Cup winner or individual player awards. If the selected team or players wins the event on which the bet was placed, the bettor wins their bet.

Futures odds are associated with big payouts, hence greater-scale-than-normal odds like +6000 are not unheard of. It is hard to win the Stanley Cup and difficult to predict early in a season. Even the best teams, or “most likely” outcomes, will be plus-money far off from the event date. Futures are available across the season for conference and division outcomes, individual player awards, and more.

How to Bet NHL Futures

Betting on hockey futures is one of the best parts of wagering on NHL action.

Got an idea who you think will win the Hart trophy? Or have a hunch on which team will win their conference? Placing your futures bet on the NHL is both easy and entertaining.

For example, if you think the Edmonton Oilers could make it all the way to the Stanley Cup one year, simply go to the futures section of the online sportsbook you're using.

The earlier you make a futures bet, the bigger the payout may possibly be too. So think about what major NHL events or awards you'd like to place a futures bet on today.

Eastern Conference Futures Odds

The Florida Panthers were the cream of the crop in the Eastern Conference regular season standings in 2023-24 with 110 points. The Panthers have their sights set on a repeat performance in 2024-25, but there are several teams who are likely to pose a significant risk to their dominance. NHL futures odds can fluctuate throughout the season based on team performance and betting trends, offering insights into how bettors can maximize their returns and strategically hedge their bets. Toronto Maple Leafs enter the new season as the odds-on favorites to win the Eastern Conference. Ultimately, the road to the Eastern Conference Championship looks like it goes through a highly competitive Atlantic Division. Will one of the favorites prevail, or will a different team make a surprising surge?

Betting on NHL Futures

After a long season and the NHL Playoffs eliminate teams from 16 to two for the Stanley Cup Finals, oddsmakers will set American Odds on the championship match-up. At this point, these are no longer future odds – the main event is near! For an event this major, the odds have a name: the Stanley Cup Finals Odds Series Price, using American Odds.

NHL futures betting is a long-term betting option focused on future events, such as the outcome of the Stanley Cup and other league results.

  • Lightning logo Tampa Bay Lightning -140 (Bet $140; win $100 on the Lightning)
  • Canadiens logoMontreal Canadiens +200 (Bet $100; win $200 on the Canadiens)

For additional resources, check out our betting calculators and our guide to betting on hockey. But here are the fast facts on odd types and how to bet on the NBA Finals.

What are American Odds?

American Odds are the default odds at U.S. sportsbooks. The odds are based on winning $100 for a given bet on either the Favorite or the Underdog.  A Favorite will have a minus (-) sign next to the odds and represents the money you need to risk to win $100. An Underdog will have a plus (+) sign in front and represents the money you can win for every $100 risked. So, if you're betting on the Lightning at -140 against the Canadiens, that means Tampa Bay is a slight favorite. You need to risk $140 to win $100 on the Canadiens. If they win, you profit $100 and get your original $140 back.

What are Decimal Odds?

Beyond the U.S., most of the world uses Decimal Odds, in part because it’s easier to convert them to implied probabilities. Decimal odds represent the amount you win for every $1 wagered. And the number represents the total return, not just the profit (this is different from American and fractional odds).

 What are Fractional Odds?

Fractional Odds are used primarily in Ireland and the United Kingdom. Few bettors use fractional odds for betting sports other than horse racing, because the conversions to understand return are challenging. To calculate winnings on fractional odds, multiply your bet by the top number (the numerator), then divide the result by the bottom number (the denominator). 

Where can I bet on the NBA finals?

NHL fans will benefit from taking advantage of bonus bet promotions and more across sportsbooks when betting NBA futures. Bettors should compare different sportsbooks to identify the best odds available for NHL futures bets to maximize their potential payouts. These are the books with sign up offers and our review insights into the books themselves: DraftKings Promo Code | FanDuel Promo Code  | Caesars Sportsbook Promo Code | Pointsbet Promo Code | BetMGM Bonus Code
