When at the beginning of January Scott Berry decided to place a bet on his team winning the NHL, none of the employees of one of the bookmakers from Las Vegas were against it. There were no reasons to do otherwise! St. Louis, at that moment, was the worst team in the whole league, and the $400 that the tipster wanted to bet seemed like the easiest money ever made by the bookmaking company.

In the meanwhile, since then St. Louis players started beating team after team, playing a top-level hockey and as a result, got themselves their first ever Stanley Cup. On the other side, the 251.00 (250/1) odds materialized into 100,000 dollars, making Scott the happiest fan in the world.
