Many gamblers are eagerly awaiting the start of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics this Friday. With over 2000 athletes competing in 15 different events, the games give plenty of opportunities for betting big.
One of the most popular Olympics bets is which country will win the most medals. The odds right now put Germany in the lead, followed by the U.S., Russia, and Canada. These predictions mirror the medal results of the 2006 Winter Games in Torino. It's slightly surprising that Norway doesn't have better odds, since that's the country which holds the most Winter Olympic medals with 280, followed by the U.S. with 216.
Here are the odds, according to Sportsbook.com:
- Germany 1/1
- USA 7/2
- Russia 4/1
- Canada 4/1
- Norway 12/1
- Italy 20/1
- Austria 25/1
- France 30/1
- Switzerland 30/1
- Sweden 50/1
- Korea 80/1
- China 100/1
- Finland 100/1
- Holland 100/1
- Japan 100/1
Another popular bet is on Men's Ice Hockey. Current odds favorite Canada with the hometown advantage, followed by Russia, Sweden, and the U.S.
