Virginia sportsbooks will set NHL Stanley Cup futures odds based on the same criteria as Las Vegas sportsbooks. That means they’ll both take team history, recent performance, roster moves, and statistics into account. It also means the Stanley Cup betting lines will be almost exactly the same at first.
However, the betting patterns will most likely be different. That means Virginia sportsbooks and Las Vegas sportsbooks will most likely adjust the lines throughout the season differently based on those different betting patterns.
