Consider betting against Canada winning gold on Pinnacle

[ochenta y cinco]

Canada's wake up call was last night. They'll deliver for the rest of the tourney, I'm not betting against them.

[blittydeuce]

Not Really yisman. There the most talented country in the world. Why are people seeing this as such an impossible accomplishment?
Sure Canada hasn't played great, but I think last nights game will wake them up. Expect an insane amount of energy and focus. The hometown crowd will lift the boys up.

Don't you think going to a shootout with the swiss should have woken them up?

[yisman]

lol thats true as well. its going to be right around -150 for sure..............so what do you think. ill compromise to pinnacle if you go -150?

ok, deal.

Pinnacle ML at 12 PM EST Wednesday the 22nd

I'll hold the points, or we can both send them to MexicanStallion if you prefer.

Same offer for anyone else.

I agree it won't be far off -150, which is why I was surprised when you said they'd be -190. They're not going to be -190 at any book, even the high juice ones.

[KingKolzig]

ok pinnacle ML noon est wednesday for 135 sbr points. but is -150 a push?

[KingKolzig]

ok if -150 is a push we have a deal (135 sbr pts. line pinnacle noon wed, i say canada will be -150 or higher, as in -160, -170 ect. if not, you keep my sbr points. if lower than -150, you give me back 270 sbr points)...............ive never transferred sbr points but i see that i just click that gold thing at the bottom of your page. ill be back in a bit to see if you accept -150 as a push...............also, im thinking maybe you like the devils. just a heads up, i know they are +400 at all the major books to win the east. but thegreek has them for +745. a great deal, wont last too long.

[vmchockey]

I bet the states would win at +419

yep, it's a steal at the moment.

[KingKolzig]

ok points are transferred. ill be here on this page noon eastern wednesday to get my 270 pts after canada beats germany 6-0 and ppl are hard over them again lol

[yisman]

see you then.

Canada's wake up call was last night. They'll deliver for the rest of the tourney, I'm not betting against them.

They had a similar wake a up call in 2006 after a round robin loss to the Swiss. Then they were eliminated by Russia next game.

[Jaug]

if you're that confident in Team Canada, then like I indicated, put a bunch of money on them winning each game SU.

You can put $2000 on Canada to beat Germany in regulation.

$2100 on them beating Russia (where they might even be slight underdogs), then all of that in the game against Sweden, etc.

They will be huge favorites in every game except the one vs Russia. They were -300 favs vs the US

Thing is I think Canada will be favs vs Russia. Facts are tough that Russia are +310 to win olympics and Canada are +220, that means Canada will be somewhere around -140 (maybe -135) vs Russia I think.

[Regul8er]

Canada went from +228 to +192 at 5dimes. I knew there was tremendous value at the first number, I just didnt have funds to bet it.
Let's Go Canada.

[yisman]

They will be huge favorites in every game except the one vs Russia. They were -300 favs vs the US

and those numbers will come down unless they start dominating.

In any case, betting each game will still result in a better payout.

Define huge favorite. They would not be a huge favorite over Sweden. -200 or less, I think.

Let's Go Canada.

First number was +190/-230.

[Regul8er]

It was offered as high as +228 yesterday afternoon.

[KingKolzig]

and those numbers will come down unless they start dominating.

Define huge favorite. They would not be a huge favorite over Sweden. -200 or less, I think.

hehehe im totally doubting your abilities here. -200 against the swedes lol. maybe if it was played in dubai. home advantage is a factor here. -250 vs the swedes. and by the looks of our new +191 to russia +327 (5dimes) the public think canada has a 1.7+ greater chance then russia, and they havent even pasted germany yet.......hehehe

[Regul8er]

Id be VERY VERY surprised if KingKolzig doesnt win this wager! You just gotta worry about getting past Germany.

[KingKolzig]

I just need a nice 4-0 game in the 3rd period, Canada throws in the 3rd and 4th lines a lot and the announcers start talking about the big matchup. this way a nice easy Canadian win is fresh in the publics mind as they watch them throw 45+ shots at some greasy german goaltender

[KingKolzig]

Wow 9:15 and the line is Canada -133. It was -140 this morning, but it didnt go in my direction.............ppl must be morons. Canada is going to win this game. They are the home team, and they are overall better. They will overpower the russian D with size and power. Cant believe ppl are so into russia, they lost to slovakia geez

[Regul8er]

Sorry Kolzig......you need some serious movement. I'm very surprised the public has been backing Russia. I'm sure non-hockey fans watching US beat Canada didn't help, even though the Canadians dominated from start to finish. I heard the game Sunday night had bigger tv ratings then game 7 of the Stanley Cup.

[KingKolzig]

yep still steady at -133..........i really need roman abramovich to log into his pinnacle account and bet 10 million euros on the canadians lol

[Regul8er]

Cant see the pinny lines as I dont have an account, but I noticed Canada is -145 at rebatewager.

[KingKolzig]

yep its moving towards canada on pinnacle, now -141, i bet by around 5:00 eastern it passes -150 or comes very close. but i only have another 40 minutes, not gonna happen..........sucks too cause i just went on a massive losing streak with real money and could use 270 sbr points for a freeplay with my book.......... -145 at thegreek. i think yisman knew pinnacle would be tight on canada, crafty guy

[yisman]

It's official now.

You don't need an account. You can view lines on almost every betting site without one.

Pinnacle is simple. http://www.pinnaclesports.com/

Click on what you want.

I wish SBR Lines would have Olympics hockey, but I guess they didn't want to go to the trouble of adding something that wouldn't be there that long.

[Regul8er]

I hear ya yisman. Im at work, so pinnacle is blocked out on me. What was the line officially at 12:00?

[KingKolzig]

It's official now.

good call. i cant believe these ppl man. Canada should be -165 at least. If Russia had Chara to sure up the back, giving them at least one world class defensive dman then i could see this line, but Canada is gonna bully the russian D.............

The one and only reason why they are not bigger favs is their defense. The defense of Canada has straight up sucked. The Russian d on the other hand is both BIG and QUICK.

name 2 russian d-men who could take the place of any 2 canadian d-men?

-141

It's now -139

on the PK spread

the ML (three way, regulation only) is +115 for Canada right now.

I'm rooting for Canada, but Russia is very close to them in terms of talent. If Canada was -190, as was suggested, the money on Russia would be astronomical. Give me Russia PK at over +150, and I'm all over it, especially at +170 or +175.

Home game. We will see, i think russia needs a bunch of luck to boot Canada out of the olympics in Canada

[KingKolzig]

figures now the line at pinnacle is -155.............argh i figured it would be the other way around

[KingKolzig]

7-3 told you all this line should have been -200.................i cashed in anyways with Can in regulation +110 cause i knew they were better. russias weak defense and canadas home crowd, just like i said

[Masu485]

i told you all, it's fixed so canada wins gold in a magical finale
