At Bet-online they’re issuing odds on which league will return first and when the NHL might return:

What League will be the first to play?

MLB 7/4

NHL 9/5

NBA 5/2

Major League Soccer 4/1

Odds of 9/5 mean that if you bet five dollars on the NHL to be back first, you will get a pay out of nine dollars in return, says spokesman Jimmy Shapiro on Bet Online.

Will the Next NHL Game be Played June 1st or Sooner?

Yes +300 (3/1)

No -500 (1/5)

It’s challenging to set odds on something like this, said Adam Burns, SportsBook manager for BetOnline.ag, because there are no stats to sift through and analyze, as there when setting the odds for a game. “We’re looking at social media, Twitter, Instagram, reading the news, seeing what people are saying. We’re trying to keep on top of and obviously these odds will fluctuate quite a bit based on how people are betting it and what news comes out.

“It’s kind of chaotic doing this stuff with all the rumours that come out.”

Folks are still betting on who will win league championships and awards, but Burns is looking for other things to bet on. “At this time, right now with everything cancelled, we’re trying to put up as much content we can for people to bet…It’s a matter of figuring out the best way to keep people engage. At the end of the day, people just want to bet.”

If someone bets on the Stanley Cup final winner and there is no official winner, everyone who placed a bet will get their money back, Burns said.

As for the NHL being ahead of the NBA, Burns said the NHL hasn’t said much officially but seemed reluctant to postpone the season in the first place. “They had to because the NBA did it…I think the NHL has a better chance (of coming back) so that’s me trying to put some sort of percentages to these things that have no stats on it. Anything could happen.”
