Has anyone looked into betting for the olympics? I noticed that a lot of the sites are spreading action and a there doesn't seem to be a lot of consistency in their odds. IMO there must be a way to play them profitably. Ideas?

Im guessing you are Canadian. I think we are the only people who really care enough about hockey to gamble on it lol.

Canada to win their group, and Russia to win theirs, parlay if u can.

Come day of there will be lots of weird spreads such as Canada -9 goals -10000 on the money line.

Do your homework, and dont expect Russia, Sweeden, and Canada to lose to bum countries in the group stage.

Interesting, I just found an e- newsletter called 2010 Hockey Betting that claims to give up to the minute betting related updates. Has anyone had any positive experiences with something like this? I'm hesitant to give out my e-mail address.

Another question: big site vs. small site? I've only dealt with poker sites in the past where the smaller ones are usually skins for a big server, is sports betting the same?

I'd look at Pinnacle Sports or Bet365. Neither will rob you but the former will have better odds overall. However Bet365 will give you a $200 bonus. Both are easy to get money onto as Canadian.

i hate usa hockey team and it would gag me to see them win but they are alot better then poeple may think . They have the hotest goalie in the world and a goalie alone can win you a tourney. Just my two cents but canada is the clear fav

I totally agree, especially if that flake Modano plays. There are a lot of ridiculous goalies in the tournament, so I'm not sure I'm going to throw any money at them based on Miller alone; I'd argue that in terms of total defence, the Finns are better.

+ 5000 on slovakia take a look at there line up and you might scratch your head and say why cant they win gold. The bigest reason they wont win IF they dont is there goalie halak is the weakest goalie in tourney.But as gerber proved in last olmpics on switzerland with his 50 shot shut out on canada you never know. im laying some dough on slovakia as we speak.
