    2013 WJC Picks

    It's that time of the year again.

    I'm going to be posting my wagers for the ongoing World U20s. So far I have only made one wager, and it consists of Finland winning the tourney at +518 odds for 1x. At that price, a solid all-around team with one of the best goalies in the tournament has good value, and I believe it is worth a shot.

    My first bet on a game will be USA-Germany Game Total Under 7.5, for 2x. This American squad has some serious skill at all positions, but watching them in the exhibition games, I didn't feel like they had found their offensive groove yet. I think they'll need a few more periods before that happens. John Gibson will be between the pipes for the USA. To me, he's probably the best goalie in the tourney ahead of Korpisalo and Subban. He'll be hard for German forwards to score on. A 4-1 or 5-1 final is what I envision.

    I like it. I know nothing about this league but after seeing Germany just got whacked 9-3 in their last game the Over seems like the obvious choice so I'm going under

    And of course after I lock in the under at +115 it jumps to +120

    German goalie looks brutal. But anything can happen in these games like this u.s. probably not up for it.

    man I dunno. I want to bet on this so bad, but I just don't want to bet on the Under or the -5.5. I love betting hockey because I love to have something on it while I watch, but I absolutely suck at picking winners in this sport.

    Sick line movement indeed, have no idea what it means. I did lock it at +123 last night so no complaints!

    What odds did you get on that!?

    It's a very much a given that the US will win this by *at least* 2 goals.

    I don't want to even say it. I never lay these type of odds, but I wanted to get something down for action while I watch.

    Under backers caught a small break with no goal scored in the 2H of the 1st period. Some reason for hope after an explosive start by the US squad.

    Germany is really bad

    Under is dead. USA could win 20-0 if they wanted

    Wanna make an under more manageable? Give the Germans a couple of powerplays. That'll kill some big minutes off the clock.

    not a lock... this game could easily go into OT. Staying up for this one. 4 A.M start.

    Small play on my Canadian fellows

    OT is a definite possibility, which is why I passed up on Canada -1 at -111, although those were enticing odds. Still believing the Red, Black & White gets it done.

    Nice goal for the US.


    The place is half empty.... & it only has around 6k seats.

    Totally sad considering we're signing up now to get tickets for the 2015 tourney in Canada

    and they wonder why the tourney gets so many dates...
