Looking for advice on Devils Atlantic Division future bet...

That game today REALLY sucked. How do you blow a 2-0 lead with 30 secs left in the 2nd period without even forcing OT? Amazing.

Anyways, I have 7.5 units on the Devils at even money to win the Atlantic. When I bet it, they were 10 pts or so up on the Pens. I calculate standings in terms of games over .500, NOT on pts at the time. (since games in hand can play a big role) Anyways, now they are only 5 up in terms of games over .500.

I can get Pens +200 to win the division, should I hedge a lil bit on this? 7.5 units is a big bet for me on this future bet as I usually bet .5 to 1.5 units per game.

Leaning towards putting 2.5 units to win 5 units on the Pens. What would you guys do?

The goal is profit, if you can guarantee yourself money, why gamble?

I agree with the King. If the math works take 3 or 4 units on Pitt & guarantee yourself a small profit. Doesn't look like there's much risk in one of these 2 not crossing the line first. If the math doesn't work I think you're probably safe with 1 pt up and 3 games in hand.
