The Detroit Red Wings have won so many in a row at home that they are starting to lose track.

“Where are we at with the streak?” Drew Miller asked after a 3-2 victory Sunday against the San Jose Sharks.
The Red Wings are at 23 wins in a row at Joe Louis Arena, which is an N.H.L. record, and 6 in a row over all. Detroit, which broke the league’s single-season record of 20 on Tuesday, has now surpassed the 22 wins in a row the Boston Bruins had over two seasons more than eight decades ago. But the Red Wings are only .500 on the road. “We’ve got a good thing going, but we need to take it on the road,” Miller said.
“We have a lot of rivals, but that’s the one we seem to play a lot in the playoffs,” Henrik Zetterberg said of the Sharks, who have eliminated the Red Wings in the last two postseasons. “So you want to win each game against them.”

Does that take into account the fact that red wings were favored in all of these games most likely.
For example, game 1 of the streak might be a bet of $100 on red wings moneyline at -200. So you'd win $50 and have a total of $150. Game 2 bet on red wings for a bet of $150 with moneyline at -150 would win $100, so you'd have a total of $250, etc.
I could see how that would add up pretty fast.
Kind of like the question, would you rather get a million bucks or a penny on day 1 which doubles in value every day for a month. The penny doubling in value works out to well over a million after a month.

I think the mavs won something like 15 games in row ATS last year. It was about the time the season was coming to an end and they were in the playoffs. I forget what exactly the number was, but if you would have started betting them at $20 and doubled up with each win you would have been risking over $1million by the end of the streak.....I hate myself for not believing in the mavs till the finals last year, lol
