Willy Wonka has nothing on Las Vegas sports books when it comes to selling Golden tickets.
Thirteen wagers were placed on the Golden Knights at 500-1 odds to win the Stanley Cup at the Westgate sports book during the preseason. William Hill sports book took 350 futures bets on the Knights at 100-1 or higher.
Those long-shot wagers and would-be souvenirs suddenly have been magically transformed into virtual Golden tickets by arguably the greatest expansion team in sports history.
The Knights still are eight victories from winning the Stanley Cup, but their backers can lock in a healthy profit now by selling their futures bets on PropSwap.
