Forty-nine years of a Stanley Cup wagering dry spell came to an end on last Wednesday night when the Chicago Blackhawks overcame the Flyers in a thrilling Game 4 struggle to claim the 2010 Stanley Cup probabilities championship and hoist Lord Stanley's large chalice for the first time in close to five decades.

In the process the Hawks shattered the lengthiest such NHL wagering winless streak and brought back the Cup to the Windy City, a city with a proud hockey wagering history.

And as the 2010 Stanley Cup probabilities season comes to a marvelous conclusion sports wagering devotees could only look back and say: Amazing!

The last 2 months were actually a fantastic run. 16 teams were finally whittled down to 2 Stanley Cup probabilities contenders. Anyone that saw some of the 2010 Stanley Cup probabilities event happen would surely agree that this series was every bit as interesting as last year's Stanley Cup wagering series between the Red Wings and Penguins, and will certainly go down in the annals of Stanley Cup wagering as among the most memorable in years. Both the Hawks and the Flyers played their guts out.

The different back stories of these two teams was part of what made the 2010 Stanley Cup probabilities event so compelling. On the one hand you had the Chicago Blackhawks who were the cream of the NHL wagering crop since almost the beginning of the hockey wagering season. Chicago qualified for the NHL playoff wagering competition as the #2 and ripped through the Western Conference event sweeping the #1 seed Sharks in 4 matches.

Alternatively you had the other 2010 Stanley Cup probabilities competitor, the Flyers, a team that qualified for the NHL playoff wagering event only on the last day of the regular season by winning a shootout in overtime. This team went on to upset the #2 Devils, rewrite the NHL wagering history books by staging a memorable 3- comeback against the Bruins, and finally dismissing the #8 seed Canadiens in the Eastern Conference Finals wagering event.

All in all, it was a helluva run, though a lot of sports wagering devotees were hoping for a Game 7 finale in Chicago and were loath to see the wildly compelling 2010 Stanley Cup probabilities event finally draw to a close.

The brain trust of the NHL met up a while back after the catastrophic lock out and cancelled season and tweaked the policies of the game in such a way that the goal scoring avalanche of the 2010 Stanley Cup wagering event could take place.

The intent of the rule changes was to increase goal scoring opportunities, thus making hockey wagering more interesting to the casual sports wagering lover. Anyone would need to agree that that this experiment has been a big success if they caught some of the 2010 Stanley Cup wagering event.

Otherwise how can you justify a 6-5 outburst in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup probabilities tournament? Then in Game 5-7 to 4 offensive displays? The NHL's objective was to get additional goals won throughout the match and that has certainly happened throughout the 2010 Stanley Cup wagering action so far.
