We’re still 64 days from Opening Night at T-Mobile Arena, but that doesn’t mean you have to wait to put your money where your mouth is in backing the Golden Knights. Official sponsor of SinBin.vegas, the William Hill Sportsbook already has set the odds on the 26-27 season, including options well beyond simply who will lift the Stanley Cup. Of course, we will start there, though.

VGK to win the Stanley Cup
+1000 (4th)

The Golden Knights check in behind Colorado, Florida, and reigning champions Carolina. VGK have been less than 10:1 in four of the last seven seasons with their longest odds coming the year they ultimately raised the Cup.

25-26: +800
24-25: +1600
23-24: +1200
22-23: +1800
21-22: +800
20-21: +800
19-20: +900
18-19: +1400
17-18: +20000

 

VGK to win Western Conference
+500 (2nd)

Even though the Golden Knights blasted the Avalanche in a four-game sweep on the conference final last season, the odds still show the Avs well beyond VGK, coming in at +290. If Colorado plays anyone other than Vegas, they are probably significant favorites, but if they have to go through the Golden Knights, it would be hard to argue VGK wouldn’t be expected to win.

VGK to win Pacific Division
+200 (2nd)

This is the oddest one of the bunch. The Golden Knights have shorter odds to win the Cup and the Conference than Edmonton, yet somehow come in behind the Oilers to win the Pillow Fight. It’s a minor difference as Edmonton currently sits at +175 to VGK’s +200, but it doesn’t make a lot of sense when considering the fact that Vegas has won the division five times in nine years and the Oilers are looking for their first since 1987.

VGK to make the Playoffs
Yes -625
No +460

These numbers give the Golden Knights about an 85% chance to reach the postseason for the ninth time in 10 seasons. Only Colorado (-1600), Carolina (-1100), and Florida (-900) have longer odds.

A Look Back On VGK’s Moneyline Wins And Losses From 2024-25

In 2024-25, the Golden Knights won 50 games for the third time in franchise history. They posted a strong 50-22-10 record and won the Pacific Division, locking up home-ice advantage for at least the first two rounds. By pretty much all accounts, that’s about as successful a regular season as anyone can hope for.

However, there’s a famous saying in Vegas that may force us to look at the 24-25 season a slightly different way. That saying is, “Good teams win, great teams cover.”

Of course, in hockey, there aren’t really point spreads like football or basketball, but the concept isn’t necessarily only about covering spreads; it’s about making money. The best teams not only win the games on the ice, but they also make bettors money by backing them.

Throughout the season here at SinBin.vegas, we track the gambling side of the game using moneylines from William Hill Race and Sports Book. You can find all of the data for the entire history of the team on our Odds Page.

Did betting on the Golden Knights return a profit in 2024-25?

As we’ve laid out on the historical page, a $100 unit bettor (bets $100 when VGK are underdogs and enough to win $100 when they are favorites) who bet on every Vegas game last season would have walked away with a profit of $372.

What about if, rather than worrying about what the odds for that game were, you simply bet $10 on every single game? Here’s how it would have turned out.

Overall: 50-32 (-$5.25)
Home: 29-12 ($47.11)
Away: 21-20 (-$52.37)

Pacific Division: 19-7 ($43.45)
Central Division: 15-9 ($7.11)
Atlantic Division: 10-6 ($7.38)
Metropolitan Division: 6-10 (-$63.20)

As Favorites: 44-23 ($12.55)
As Underdogs: 6-9 (-$17.80)
As -400 or more favorites: 1-0 ($2.50)
As -300 or more favorites: 5-1 ($4.75)
As -200 or more favorites: 20-5 ($27.42)
As -150 or more favorites: 32-12 ($27.71)
As -150 of fewer favorites: 12-12 (-$25.16)

October: 7-4 ($1.26)
November: 8-6 ($6.37)
December: 10-2 ($50.01)
January: 6-9 (-$56.55)
February 4-3 (-$8.49)
March: 10-4 ($10.64)
April: 5-4 (-$8.49)

Most Profitable Opponent: Vancouver ($27.20)
Least Profitable Opponent: 4 Teams (CAR, NYI, NYR, WSH) (-$20.00)

And finally, the playoffs.

VGK went 5-6 in their 11 playoff games despite being favorites in nine of the 11. That would have amounted to a loss of $30.39 if a $10 bet was placed on every game. The best win was Game 3 at Edmonton, where VGK won as +100 underdogs, while the worst loss was as -240 favorites in Game 2 vs Minnesota.

William Hill Season Opening Odds For Year 9

The official sportsbook sponsor of SinBin.vegas since the inception of the site, William Hill, has released their odds for the season and unsurprisingly, the Golden Knights are expected to have another big year.

To win the Stanley Cup
VGK +850 (4th)

The back-to-back champs, Florida Panthers, check in at the top of the list at +650. The back-to-back Western Conference champs, Edmonton Oilers, are a bit behind in 3rd at +825. Somehow, Carolina snuck up the board into the 2nd slot at +800. VGK are ahead of Colorado (+900), Dallas (+1100), Tampa (+1300), LA (+1600), and maybe the newest rival, Toronto (+2000).

To win the Western Conference
VGK +480 (3rd)

Somehow,the Golden Knights check in behind Colorado (+450) to win the West despite being ahead of them to win the Cup. The numbers are extremely tight though as all three of Vegas, Edmonton (+425), and Colorado are between +400 and +500. The surprise team in the mix is Utah (+800), they come in above LA (+800) and Winnipeg (+1000). There’s a sharp drop after the top seven too, Minnesota is in 8th at (+2200).

Golden Knights In Good Shape Regarding Playoff Chances, Still Doubted To Win Stanley Cup

A little more than a third of the NHL season has elapsed, and the Golden Knights are sitting pretty in terms of the playoff chase. Vegas have held the top spot in the Pacific for nearly a month and they are just one point off the league lead.

With it has come a ton of optimism from the projection models, starting with VGK standing as an overwhelming favorite to reach the playoffs.

Make Playoffs
MoneyPuck: 94%
The Athletic: 96%
Hockey Reference: 97%
William Hill: 94%

The reason it seems clear the Golden Knights will make the postseason for the 7th season out of eight is that everyone has them reaching at least 103 points.

Points Projection
MoneyPuck: 103
The Athletic: 104
Hockey Reference: 104
William Hill: 104

The models vary a bit in regards to the Pacific Division. It’s essentially considered a two-horse race between Vegas and Edmonton. The statistical model still prefers the Golden Knights while the analytical one leans towards the Oilers.

After a busy start to the month, the offseason has settled in and most teams around the NHL have a pretty clear picture of what they’ll look like to begin the 2024-25 season. The official sportsbook sponsor of SinBin.vegas since the inception of the site, William Hill, has released their odds for the season and despite the roster upheaval, the Golden Knights are still expected to be in the mix.

To win the Stanley Cup
VGK +1600 (10th)

10th is a lot lower than we are used to in Vegas, especially to begin the season. The Golden Knights are well behind the conference champion Edmonton Oilers who pace the field at +800, with the reigning Stanley Cup champs slightly behind at +900. New Jersey (+1200), Carolina (+1200), the New York Rangers (+1200), and Toronto (+1500) all enter 24-25 with shorter odds than the Golden Knights.

To win the Western Conference
VGK +750 (5th)

It’s no surprise to see Edmonton (+375) and Dallas (+400) ahead of the Golden Knights after going at it in the conference final, and Colorado (+600) always seems to get to nod when it comes to odds. Nashville (+700) is the surprising final team in front of Vegas after their mega offseason including ripping away Jonathan Marchessault.

A Look Back On VGK’s Moneyline Wins And Losses From 2023-24

The Golden Knights finished the regular season with 45 wins and 37 losses. There were exciting wins like the crazy three goal comeback against the Avalanche and the 6-5 win over the Canadiens, and there were tough losses like 3rd period disaster against Arizona and the outdoor drubbing of the Winter Classic.

Throughout the season here at SinBin.vegas, we track the gambling side of the game using moneylines from William Hill Race and Sports Book. You can find all of the data for the entire history of the team on our Odds Page, but today we’re focusing just on this season, and we’re using a slightly simpler style of measurement.

In the 82 games if you had bet exactly $10 on every game the Golden Knights played in, you’d have lost $44.41 this season. The 7-game series against Dallas would have cost another $6.41.

The biggest win of the season was a +140 cash-in against the New York Rangers in January. The Golden Knights thrashed the eventual Eastern Conference finalists, as Jonathan Marchessault notched a hat trick while Sheldon Rempal potted his second career goal.

The worst loss of the year was actually the last game of the season. Vegas fell to Anaheim 4-1 on that day as -400 favorites. It was one of only two times this entire season the Golden Knights lost as favorites of -250 or more, the other was to Chicago early in the year.

VGK won as home underdogs four times in five tries this year knocking off New York, Boston, Pittsburgh, and Edmonton, the last of which ended the Oilers’ historic win streak.

Here are some more facts from Season 7 including wins and losses if you bet $10 on each game.

Overall: 45-37 (-$44.41)
Home: 27-14 ($34.07)
Away: 18-23 (-$78.47)

Pacific Division: 14-12 (-$36.76)
Central Division: 16-8 ($44.76)
Atlantic Division: 6-10 (-$57.40)
Metropolitan Division: 9-7 ($4.99)

Golden Knights Largest Favorites In Franchise History Tonight Against San Jose

(Photo Credit: SinBin.vegas Photographer Brandon Andreasen)

The Golden Knights are no strangers to being heavy favorites, especially in home games. This season Vegas have been at least a -200 favorite in six of their 13 games, the most of any team in the NHL. Tonight though, it’s on another level.

At William Hill, the Golden Knights are currently -550 favorites over the San Jose Sharks. It’s the largest moneyline favorite the Golden Knights have ever been in any of their 557-game history as a franchise, and it’s not even particularly close.

The previous high was -440, a number the Golden Knights have hit twice. In 2021-22 Vegas were -440 in home games against the Sabres and Coyotes. Vegas have been at least -400 favorites on four occasions, they’ve won three of the four games.

2/1/22: -440 vs BUF (5-2 win)
4/9/22: -440 vs ARI (6-1 win)
11/17/22: -400 vs ARI (4-1 win)
3/23/19: -400 vs DET (3-2 loss)

VGK have been at least -300 favorites 15 times. Their record isn’t particularly great considering the expectation of lopsided contests. The Golden Knights are 9-6 in these games including a loss to San Jose in April of 2022.

2/12/23: -375 vs ANA (7-2 win)
10/27/23: -360 vs CHI (3-2 loss)
10/14/23: -355 vs ANA (4-1 win)
10/13/22: -355 vs CHI (1-0 win)
4/23/22: -340 vs SJS (5-4 loss)
3/1/20: -340 vs LAK (4-1 loss)
3/19/23: -335 vs CBJ (7-2 win)
1/20/22: -320 vs MTL (4-3 win)
10/17/19: -320 vs OTT (3-2 win)
4/18/22: -310 vs NJD (3-2 loss)
3/3/20: -310 vs NJD (3-0 win)
12/21/22: -305 vs ARI (5-2 win)
3/20/28: -305 vs VAN (4-1 win)
10/28/22: -300 vs ANA (4-0 win)
2/21/23: -300 at CHI (3-2 loss)

Tonight is the first foray into the land of -500 for Vegas. Next stop, -600, a place we’ve only seen a few times in NHL history, most recently when the Maple Leafs beat Chicago 5-2 in a February game in Toronto.
