    +500000 Goldmedal: Latvia, Belarus, Germany & Norway

    Stan James is offering +500000 odds in Latvia, Belarus, Germany and Norway to win gold medal in Men Hockey Olympics. I guess they are too high, especially Belarus.

    I know, they are a longshot, but 5000:1 seems too high against a 3 games streak. The first game is listed at +160 vs Switzerland. Beat them, then USA and they are in the semifinals.

    It may be the best $1 bet I have seen in a long time.

    i dont really think these teams have any chance at all. one of them might beat one top quality team in these olympics but there is just no way they are winning the gold medal. just wont happen. too many good teams to beat. you can get lucky once or twice but not three times.

    i think it would be smart to bet that none of these teams make it to the gold medal round. i would put my whole bankroll on none of these teams winning the medal. easy money.

    Don't bet Latvia or Germany. Only one that is bet-able is Belarus imo.

    It's a sucker bet. and if one of those teams wins gold the site will probably lose so much money that it won't be able to pay out on it. But it won't happen.
