Traditionally I do ok with this tournament. I think the key is to remember that the gap between the elite 6 to 8 teams and the rest is closing.
My plays tend to increase once I start to get a feel for the teams. I try and watch as much as possible.
May 5/17
Belarus +2 -105 (1.05u to win 1u)
Germany +1 +127 (1u to win 1.27u)
The other two games I have no feel for. Russians tend to coast early and throughout the round robin doing the bare minimum but I can't necessarily back Sweden in this opening game. Canada usually starts out slow at this tournament as well and they are playing a traditional power. Czech +1 +117 has value but as I am Canadian I do not want to have any monetary interest in my team.
This is a great tournament with lots of good hockey. I will actually be going to the one in Denmark next year.

Im looking at playing the Czech Republic on the handicap but no line available at my book currently. Czechs looked good against Canada 4 to 1 final is a little misleading. Score in the Finland / Belarus game more reflective of Finland coasting at times rather than Belarus over achieving. Looking at Czech Republic -1.5 depending on the price.

I want to pull the trigger on Russia -4.5 but im passing because Russia has a reputation of doing the bare minimum against lesser competition. As the saying goes no one can meander through a round robin like the Russians.
Im going to take a chance on Slovenia +5.5 -126 ( 1.26u to win 1u ) Remember a Canada 6 to 1 victory means this play hits. Canada also is not a country that traditionaly likes to run up the score.
Just the one play for me.
Enjoy the games tomorrow

we should have tailed our country as we are both from Canada! we will get them next time but for future reference betting against Canada is never a good idea these guys really don't care how many goals they score on you. you said Canada isn't the type of team to run up the score.... but are you watching this game vs Slovenia? they are just slaughtering them still scoring goals in the third period up by 6 goals this is upsetting you put me on this play. Canada -5.5 was the play we should have been on ElDubarino.

and Dubarino the Russia -4.5 or even -5.5 would have been money the Russians are destroying Italy... it looks like you were wrong about both early games today Dub not looking good for us

Zags - I watched both games, Russian game I had on in PIP. Canada was dominant but no where did I see them going for the jugular like the Russians did against Italy. They easily could have but that's not the Canadian way. Our 3rd period goal was a knuckle ball / fluke deflection no less. I thought there would be an opportunity for a back door cover which is exactly what happened. Realizing that this assessment is not full proof I took "a chance" and it happened to hit.
As for the Russian game. My lean was Russia -4.5. The lean hit but I did not play it as per my experience following Russian teams in International competition vs. lower ranked sides. I never said that Italy was the play at all. Now I can admit my assessment of this Russian team was not on the ball. They are a lot younger and played with an edge that past Russian senior level teams have not shown against the lower ranked teams.
This tournament is about getting a feel for the teams as the tournament progresses hence I only liked one play today and even then it was a "a chance" that happened to hit.
Lastly my friend please make sure you only bet what you can afford to lose and do not blindly tail me or anyone else here on covers. You should being using myself and any other cappers here as a resource combined with your own betting expertise.
Your welcome to contribute your thoughts and plays in this thread before hand so that we can discuss intelligently together but please do not come in here with any negativity as outlined in post #10. It serves no useful purpose.
Enjoy the rest of the tournament

So my thoughts about this day games First of all, I think that you can surely take SlovakIa's ML @2.20 because they have to win versus Denmark. They have to win , there is no doubt if they lose they will go under Denmark in standings. After game vs Denmark Slovaki will face with USA, Russia, and Sweden these games will be really tough for them so they will have big motivation to take 3 points from Denmark. As we know they lost their previous game vs Latvia, they will bounce back for sure im pretty confident.
2nd game would be Latvia vs Italy ov 4.5 @1.85 I think that Latvia will start strong and push for some early goals. They have played really good recently, their attack is in really good shape now they are using powerplay pretty good and condition in team is great also. Although, I think that Italy will score at least some 1-2 goals, because they won't back down they have nothing to lose. I predict 5-7 goal game.
3rd game Norway ML vs Slovenia @1.65 Norway is in same position as Slovakia , they're playing with team that they have won in the past. If norway want to fight for a place in playoffs they need to take 3 points from Slovenia.
