UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: Depending on your perspective, either Florida is on the brink of an epic choke or Edmonton is on the brink of an epic comeback. The Panthers dominated the first three games to take a 3-0 series lead, but the Oilers followed with three straight wins to force Game 7.

In Game 6, Edmonton led 3-0 through two periods and added a couple late empty-net goals in a 5-1 victory. BetMGM does much better to a Florida championship, but won't argue with the betting attention of a Game 7.

"We're thrilled to end up with a Game 7, especially after 3-0 starts in the NHL and NBA Finals. It gives us a ton more handle," BetMGM trader Christian Cipollini said. "As long as we get the Panthers winning, it would be our ideal series."

Monday night's massive finale is where the futures odds, series odds and game moneyline all collide. Prior to Game 4, Florida was -3000 to lift the Cup, then slipped to -1200 before Game 5 and -350 ahead of Game 6.

After losing Game 6, the Panthers opened -115 to win Game 7, but it's now flipped to Oilers -115. One sizable issue for BetMGM is a live three-leg, $1,000 futures parlay made months ago:

  • Kansas City Chiefs +650 to win the Super Bowl
  • Read Madrid +550 to win the Champions League
  • Edmonton Oilers +1000 to win the Stanley Cup

Add that up, and you get odds of +58400 (584/1). If Edmonton wins tonight, the bettor cashes out with $584,000 in profit.

"I can confirm that ticket. But it doesn't change anything for us. That liability would've been calculated in ahead of time," Cipollini said. "Regardless, we're still rooting for the Panthers. We're taking majority Oilers money on tonight's game and still have more Oilers [futures] liability.

"I don't think that will change. Everybody loves the Oilers now and wants to back them to make this comeback."

The total opened at 5.5 (Under -115) and is now out to 5.5 (Under -150). In BetMGM's digital market (online/mobile betting), the Over is seeing 56% of tickets, but 64% of cash is on the Under.

The Under hit in Games 1 and 2, but the Over is on a 4-0 run in the Stanley Cup Final.
