Predicting the Olympics and Gambling

[Boner_18]

The olympics are coming up and I just saw this:

Think that table is any good?

Boner the biggest lock of the Olympics is that the womens hockey gold medal game will feature the USA vs Canada, again.

 

[reno cool]

I gotta say their hockey prediction is right in line with mine.

Probably overall their estimates should be fairly accurate for total medals. Most Olympic sports have big favorites and after many events thats likely to average out somewhere close to expectation. Surprised that Russia likely to have so few medals.

 

[Mudcat]

Yeah I'm thinking over on Russia. I don't know anything in particular about anything but still.

I'm with Muddy.

Go amateur sports!

 

[Matty]

Can you parlay Olympic events anywhere?

 

[Mudcat]

I don't know! Possibly!

 

[Matty]

TheGreek won't allow it.

New table out.

Gonna just bet this... see how it works out.

 

[Boner_18]

Hugh play on CAN golds o9.5 (+130) - infostrada predicts 11 gold and a whopping 14 silver. Assuming silvers are ok chances to.convert togold this looks great.

 

[FairWarning]

#sochiproblems on twitter is not exactly a chamber of commerce moment for Sochi.
