How Much Would You Make Betting On The Boston Bruins This Season?

The 2022-23 Boston Bruins are the best NHL team in history, at least according to the standings. The Bruins have set an NHL record for most wins (64) and points (133) in a single season. And they still have one game remaining on the schedule. 

But how well have bettors done wagering on the Black and Gold at their local retail book or favorite sports betting app throughout the season? 

If you backed the Bruins' on the moneyline with $100 in each of the team’s 81 games thus far in the 2022-23 season, you would be up a tidy $1,928.67 heading into the season finale Thursday night in Montreal. That is a net profit of 23.81% on a total handle of $8,100. 

When retail sports betting launched in Massachusetts on January 31, former Boston Bruins great Ray Bourque backed the Bruins with $100 at +375 to win the in a ceremonial “first wager” at MGM Springfield. That remains their price today on . 

Bourque and thousands of Bay Staters may be in for a nice payday come late June. The Bruins opened the season at +2500 in markets to win the Cup at BetMGM.
