The Crown corporation also reminds all bettors that all odds from the online platform for the Expansion draft announced at the release of the article can be changed and any time.
The Expansion draft also leads to another marquee event – the NHL Draft, as many sports fans are also eager to see how it will unfold. The Crown’s online platform is also accepting bets on who will be featured on this year’s first overall selection. Customers of the website can also wager on who The Canuck will pick at ninth overall.
This year marks the fifth time in the last six years, that the Canucks will be selecting in the top ten of the NHL Entry Draft. As a result of a turbulent 2020-2021 season, the team must now select a quality prospect at ninth overall. Players of the website can also bet on the position of first-team selection, from forward (1.50 / -200), defense (2.25 / +125), or goalie (11.00 / +1000).
Novelty Wagers
The Crown corporation likes to keep its many gamblers entertained by always providing them with different novelty betting solutions. For example, in April the agency introduced its special Oscars awards betting. Cinephiles were able to place wagers on several intriguing categories with Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Picture being among the most exciting for wagering among players.
Since the Crown could not offer to bet on a single event, the agency provided a great variety of novelty betting on the last edition of the Super Bowl. Sports fans could place over 550 different bets on the clash between Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Also, bettors could wager on the length of Eric Church and Jazmine Sullivan’s half-time performance, as well as the color of the Gatorade which will be poured on the winning coach.
