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.
