Bet on the 2010 Winter Olympics


Do people actually bet on the winter olympics? To be honest, I never have, but after looking at the 2010 Winter Olympics Odds that are being offered by online sports-books BetUs.com and Sportsbook.com, I may place my first Olympic wager.


I think the thing that most Americans forget about is that fact that skiing, curling, and cross country are a pretty big deal in other countries. Here in the USA, I can tell you that my Olympic betting attention will be focused on Ice Hockey and the overall medal count for each country.


Here is a sample of the 2010 Olympic Ice Hockey Odds currently offered at Sportsbook.com. The number with each country represents the payout on a $100 bet. For example, if Slovakia win the men’s ice hockey gold medal, a $100 bet on Slovakia pays out a whopping $4,000!
