2016 Big Ten Hockey Tournament: Odds, Stats, and the Standard Bet

Related Topics: Big Ten Conference

I've emerged from months of silence to bring you some stats about the Big Ten Hockey Tournament. And since it's St. Patty's Day, I've decided to let you all in on a way to win some beer, and have a rooting interest in every game of this tournament.

All of these probabilities are based on KRACH ratings posted at USCHO.com. The probability of a team winning a game is equal to their rating divided by the sum of their rating and their opponents rating. Using this formula, I calculated the probability of every possible match-up in this tournament.
