Question

I know this is still a few months off, but Pinny has posted lines on some events already (skiing, Biathlon, Curling, Ski Jumping, Speed Skating and hockey, although I'm well versed in hockey).. maybe someone has some insights into these events.

Well, for women&#x27;s skiing... I&#x27;m guessing Lindsay Vonn is really good... she is an overwhelming fave in the downhill event

thorpe · Answer

I wish I had a Pinnacle account, because I love the Olympics.  Anyways...Mens 500m Speed Skating - take the field -322.  Its a lot of juice but 10 guys have a great chance to win.

Bolar · Answer

I would agree with Thorpe. Speed Skating can be a messy sport.

Bolar · Answer

I think Canada will take the hockey, but not playing anything there as of yet.I will have plays, eventually, just not now.

Bolar · Answer

Australia 1-2 or 3 medals in total might be a good bet. 2 options, one at 2.55, the other 3+, put the same amount on both, you will make a profit, one way or the other.

We will get one medal at least. Then, the sky is the limit in regards to the bet. You would hope we get 3+ so you get a bigger profit.

&#xD;&#xA;And you&#x27;re getting a WAY better number with the Russians.&#xD;&#xA;I am playing Canada to win the most overall medals at &#x2B;250.  About 5 years ago they started a program in preparation for these Olympics called "Own the Podium.&#x27;  They are dead serious about these Olympics.  I think it&#x27;s a dog fight between them and Germany with the US off a bit.  And the number for Canada is much better then the number for Germany.  &#xD;&#xA;Will post some other thoughts as the games move along.  Can&#x27;t wait.

Hope Canada wins the gold in hockey but I can see the High Powered Russians givin&#x27; em a run for their money

rollmaestro · Answer

Ovechkin, Semin, &amp; Backstrom and co. will have something to say about who wins the Gold in hockey, methinks...

icemantbi · Answer

I put in my first bet:HOCKEY:Russia to win Gold: &#x2B;267

TheMystery · Answer

Agree with the hockey... Canada or Russia where im leaning a inch more towards Canada..
Try:
* Neuner to win todays biathlon sprint
* Norway to win the men's biathlon relay
* Germany to win the woman's biathlon relay
* Bjørndalen (big) and Ustygov (small underdog play) to win men's biathlon sprint
* Bjørndalen (big) and Tcherezov (small underdog play) to win men's biathlon 20km
* Austria to win mens team ski jumping (Olympic Best Bet)
* Cuche to win men's downhill with Miller as a underdog play
* Kostelic to win men's slalom
* Janka to win men's big slalom
* Vonn to win women's downhill
* Northug to win all men's cross-country skiing

HutchEmAll · Answer

After researching this a bit more, I think Russia might be hindered playing on an NHL sized rink.

icemantbi · Answer

Alright, I&#x27;m going with the concensus on the forum here for the next bet.  That, and also the fact the line jumped close to 20 cents overnight:SNOWBOARD - Men&#x27;s SnowcrossPaul Vaultier to win Gold (&#x2B;104)
