Any idea how the Womens Downhill results work with the gold being split? Maze got a gold but so did the Swiss -- just curious bc I had Maze, Goergel and Riesch to get gold and it hasn't been graded yet

Is that with Sports INteraction? I got screwed two weeks ago on a golf bet because of their dead heat rule. Why the darn should you lose any of your stake because the competitor ties??? Makes no sense to me.

They ended up cutting the odds in half. I was fortunate to get Maze at 8:1 when the odds first came out, believe she was around 5 or 6:1 at race time. Would have been pretty cool to have bets on Maze and that Swiss girl to win -- win win!

I would argue that BIG TIME. I bet her at +600.

The bet is that the competitor will win the Gold medal. Does she have a gold medal? YES.
The books should be paying for both women. Cutting it in half is complete bullshit.

I've liked Finland from the start and bet them as the darkhorse. They sit at a +9 differential which is the best in the tourney so far. They know if they can get Canada to OT that they will still have a one goal lead in the for and against. The winner of this game gets a bye so is huge for both.

If the US win they bye. Swedes already clinched their division. 

I've also made a rather large bet on the US Slovenia game to go over. Slovenia needs a win here bigtime to get to the Qualification games. 

As it stands now there are lots of things that can happen here. 
The Swiss at 2-1 with a +1dif will likely get through. We know Canada or Fin will get another Q game and either Russia or USA will get the other. A one win team likely gets in as well Which will be Czech Republic

I should mention that while the Slovenia game is huge for them I certainly dont expect them to win :) 
But they will press to compete which should give the US plenty of ops

Hit the Canada draw bet.

Expect Russia to explode in their match with Norway. Swiss are at least 2 goals better than Latvia.

Qualification Round Parlay
  • Switzerland v Latvia Switzerland -1.5
    -133
  • Russia v Norway Russia -3.5
    -139
+201

Added a Future for the Men's side, US has been impressive in this tourney to date. At 3-1 odds I will back them to win it all. They will need to beat Canada to get to the final. Won't have a hedge op there as I already bet Canada earlier. Have futures on Finland and Russia also.
