No futures plays for me as its an area of sports betting regardless of sport that I have never exceled at. The price on Canada isn't worth it in my opinion though. I'm seeing +117 to win gold at Pinnacle. Your better off waiting to see how the lines adjust after the play off round. All the talk has been about it being a Canada / USA final but in a short tournament you cannot count out Finland or Sweden with Czechia being a dark horse. It wouldn't be unusual for Canada to come slow out of the gate. Taking a flyer at Czechia to win Group A at +794 has value imo. Canada could still reach the quarters via the best 2nd place team.
Host teams performance in the 1st game in the Best On Best Era at the Olympics
1998 - Nagano - Germany 3 Japan 1
2002 - Salt Lake City - United States 6 Finland 0
2006 - Torino - Canada 7 Italy 2 (only 1 to 0 Canada after 1 though)
2010 - Vancouver - Canada 8 Norway 0
2014 - Sochi - Russia 1 Slovakia 0 (After SO)
The above is just for fun. Not sure if anything can be deciphered with such a small sample size.
Eye test will be crucial in this tournament. Even if you cannot watch the games live it would still be a good idea to watch them on demand. Your looking for styles of play that could be tricky for some of the favourites. Think Finland's approach to collapsing 5 on the goalie. Tough to score when you can't get shots through.
Because its the first game of the tournament I'm staring with low unit wagers. Need to see 1 game for each team first before going above a 0.5u play.
Slovakia / Finland U5 +114 Regulation (0.5u to win 0.72u)
Would rather have a push at worst. If this doesn't hit than I saved some coin by not going with the U5.5 but when I see a line of -2 for Finland my mind goes go to a 3 to 1 score line. Again without seeing the teams we don't have much to go on yet. Let's see how this plays out
Italy +5.5 -148 Regulation (0.5u to win 0.34u)
Host nation will not want to get embarrassed and I do not think Sweden will want to embarrass the host nation. They can win comfortably 5 to 0 or 4 to 0 or even 6 to 2 hence I do not have a play on the total.
Looking forward to a great tournament
BOL to everyone with their plays
