If the Golden Knights’ storybook season ends Thursday, the betting public is going down with them.
Bettors are backing Vegas as favorites over the Washington Capitals in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final ranging from minus 150 to minus 160 at Las Vegas sports books.
“It’s been fairly one-sided in favor of the Knights so far,” Sunset Station sports book director Chuck Esposito said Thursday afternoon. “We opened them as a (minus 140) favorite and they’ve gone as high as a (minus 160) favorite. There’s been a lot of backing of the Knights thinking it’s a must-win for them and this is the game that can maybe turn around the series for them.
