Buffalo Sabres Odds | Bet On Buffalo Sabres Games

The Buffalo Sabres’ form has been on the decline over the past two NHL seasons and they have also failed to improve their performance in the Stanley Cup.

The Buffalo Sabres standings and stats in the 2020/21 season may explain why the odds will likely favor their future opponents. In the temporary 2020/21 East Division, the Sabres finished last with just 37 points and a −61 goal difference during the regular season.

Hockey betting, however, is not all luck and chance. It also involves skill, and with the right betting skill, statistical knowledge, luck, and timing, there’s still money to be won wagering on the Sabres, or any underdog, for that matter.

Buffalo Sabres Betting Odds

Like the prior two to three seasons, punters should expect fairly high betting odds for the Sabres to win individual matchups in the Atlantic Division in the Eastern Conference. Currently, the Sabres place last with +10000 odds to win the conference. They have double those odds of winning the 2021/22 Stanley Cup.

Buffalo Sabres Betting Lines

Due to their poor (and that’s an understatement) form – both in the Stanley Cup playoffs and the Atlantic and East Divisions – over the past few years, placing a money line bet on the Sabres is not advisable. Rule one: never wager from a fan’s standpoint. When they bet on their favorite team, many inexperienced punters often bet more on optimism than reasonable analysis. If the odds are heavily against one team, there is a good reason for it.

That said, with an objective and analytical approach, and a certain dose of risk and luck, you can win big bets on the underdog. Struggling NHL teams have all too often shown they are not to be underestimated, even when you least expect them to win. As far as the Stanley Cup playoffs go, you might want to avoid money-line bets on the Buffalo Sabres.

The Sabres are currently at the bottom of odds tables with +20000 odds, the same as fellow underdogs Anaheim Ducks, Columbus Blue Jackets, Arizona Coyotes, and Detroit Red Wings. Surprisingly, the New York Islanders are among the top 5 teams to win the Eastern Conference after placing fourth in the temporary East Division, just two points behind the Boston Bruins.

Conclusion

Though the Buffalo Sabres surely won’t be the proverbial horse punters will bet this season, experienced bettors have a knack for playing underdogs and still winning money. A good example of this is simply betting against the Sabres when they are playing against teams that are in good form or a winning streak.

Of course, you don’t have to always bet on whether the Sabres will lose or win. You can also make an over/under prediction i.e. how many goals the team will score during a game based on the form of individual players. Choose your bookie wisely and, if you’re determined to bet online, pick a site that is reliable and licensed and remember to practice responsible gaming.
