Favorite bet of all time
After Columbus upset Tampa Bay in Game 1 of the teams’ opening-round series in the 2019 playoffs, the whole world expected the Lightning to rebound in Game 2 — creating a pile of value on the Blue Jackets. Jon backed the Columbus Team Total Over 2.5 at an inflated +130 return and cashed his ticket before the game was 22 minutes old.
Most heart-breaking bet
If you bet on hockey long enough, you’ll suffer plenty of gut-wrenching losses. One that has always stuck with Jon was a 2019 game in which Edmonton allowed a soft goal with less than one second remaining in the opening period, spoiling his plus-money wager on the First Period Under 1.5 goals.
