Usa -168 ...finland +164

Olympics Men - SemifinalsFri 2/26
51 Finland (Outright) +1 -129+157 3:00PM
52 United States (Outright) -1 +109 -179

So betting this and getting a US win in OT is a push, but if you bet -1 for regulation, you lose your bet. Better to bet outright IMO.

But then, the Outright ML compared to the Regular 60 min ML, I'm lost.

Right, but why better odds for the outright ML over the regulation ML? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Exactly!!

I have made many wagers in the olympics, and I can tell you for a fact this is how the ML works for regulation at many places DOING ML REGULATION WAGERS...........MATCHBOOK and 5DIMES ARE TWO OF THESE BOOKS.

IF THE GAME ENDS IN A TIE, MONEY REFUNDED...........THE USA IS APPROXIMENTLY -170 FOR THIS TYPE OF LINE.

ML in regulation is 3 way odds, meaning if it's tied at the end of regulation, your bet loses.

Pinnacle has +104 for US in regulation.

Betfair has +102.

pinnacle is up for you?

I just played USA outright at -170 instead of USA in 60 minutes at -189. Odds are definitely messed up, but I'll take it

USA -0.5 looks good to me especially at +101 on bf

The Sweden loss was strategy. They wanted to play the Czechs. Don't put too much into that loss.

Because if they won they would have played Slovakia and Slovakia beat Sweden.

Bodog is a pick 'em. U.S. (-210) It doesn't say anything about regulation or OT?

suicidekings · 02-26-10, 02:59 PM

When I look at this game, I don't see a clearcut winner. I see a game that will be more conservatively played on both sides and I would actually lean towards Finland and the Under.

Boscoe · 02-26-10, 03:00 PM

~~usa is overvalued. going with finland. good luck to all...~~

nothing to see here.....

xraygord · 02-26-10, 03:02 PM

I like Finland

S.K.M. · 02-26-10, 03:03 PM

Finland may be a good value but how much value is there when they lose?

suicidekings · 02-26-10, 03:04 PM

I just played the Under. Could really go either way, but the goaltending has been outstanding on both sides.

suicidekings · 02-26-10, 03:08 PM

Wow.... Kiprusoff just dropped his pants and took a huge shit on the ice.

That line includes OT, which is why it's so high.

Picking a straight up winner including OT had the line at -190 for USA or more on the sites I saw.

Jaug · 02-26-10, 03:19 PM

Finland what a sad start. Held Czech to 0 but let USA score 2 goals in 7 minutes. What a bust.

lakerboy · 02-26-10, 03:19 PM

Why did the finns even show up?

xGrr · 02-26-10, 03:19 PM

Nordic national teams seldom get blown out.

lakerboy · 02-26-10, 03:23 PM

Should set up a good final which will be overhyped.
