sorry but i dont think the canadiens win the hockey gold.
chzech rep +330 to win the gold.great odds here,i think they shoud be at +150. guys are dropping out left and right ,but the chzech just replaced prucha with elias ,no disrespect to the kid but elias makes them even better.

Nation with most Gold Medals:
NORWAY +120 (1 UNIT)

Most individual gold medals:

That should be it! :tongue

 

[1837]

Recap day one: 1-3 (-1.5 unit) Counting biathlon picks (Bjoerdalen and Fischer) as 2 loss instead of 1. Manninmen choke but Bjoerdalen loss only because he missed one more shot than the winner Greiss in biathlon. It was a very close call! Our win with Heil was an easy one! Zoggeler for tomorrow has already a good lead and we should cash that one too!

Adding 2 more for later on this week:

Skeleton Womens outright:
MELISSA H. RICHARDS +150 (1 unit) :canada1

Skeleton Mens outright:
JEFF PAIN +200 :canada1

Recap day 3: 1-1 (+2 units)

 

[BBALL MIKE]

1837,

I know absolutely nothing about the Winter Olympics, but I coattailed your Germany to win the most medals play just to have something to root for.

In your opinion, is this still looking good? When are the Germans' strongest events?

Thanks.

 

[1837]

Womens (LUGE) is ususally German, Bobsled and Biathlon should bring a lot of medals too but they are starting slowly for sure!!! We'll see how it goes...

 

[Jawz]

Sorry, Sweden will not win 2 golds in curling in these olympics..........wish I would have seen your post earlier..........

 

[1837]

Sorry Jawz but i DIDNT say Sweden would win 2 gold :nono: I said they should win at least 1 gold! If they win 1 we will be anyhow making profits!!! Good start in men and women so far both winning their games!!! :SIB

Recap day 4: 0-2 (-2.5 units) :cursin: Bad day as Raich was leading until his last run when he fall... Ah well... :shrug:
