    USA wins here

    But don't bet just this game ML...

    Bet USA to Win GOLD +240

    Winner of this game will beat Sweden/Finland in Final. Doesn't make sense to bet ML on this game alone

    plays are only for a trend or clear mismatch that books are not accounting for, IMO.

    That being said, may have to play Canada ML if close to even money to hedge USA gold medal play. Womens f'd

    The empty net goal is always MASSIVE in -1.5 sides. That is why you never bet them pre elimination games. Pre elimination they don't pull tenders because of goal differential seeding.

    Is that why 12 of 18 prelim games were won by 2 or more goals? Or why no empty net goals have been scored in the elimination games?

    Interesting note, 2010 saw 15 of 18 prelim matches with 2 or more winning margin and in past two Olympics 5 of the 9 games without 2 or more margin Switzerland was involved.

    Anyone betting -1.5 at -400 should lose their money anyhow. Those who bet those lines aren't hockey bettors. They are dart checkers. There are only 5 teams that could compete at opening ceremony. Tell me how those games fit into your theory.

    I am not the one with the theory here, you are, postulating that goal differential considerations factoring into the prelim games makes them less likely to see a 1.5 line covered than an elimination game. No time now to crunch numbers, but pretty sure if you bet all the favorites in the prelim games where -1.5 was available at 5Dimes or Pinnacle you would be up.

    My overall point is that betting -1.5 you should not be counting on an empty netter when you expect a close game. Canada at around +260 -1.5 here, meaning you need better than a 1 in 4 chance to have value, don't see it.

    anyone who bets against the usa is un-American and should be deported. if you don't reside in the usa, identify your location so we can drone your azz to oblivion.

    Canada nearly lost their last game to the equivalent of an OHL or AHL team.
    A goalie that can't even earn league minimum saved nearly 60 shots on this offensively lacking team.
    I think he plays for the Syracuse Crunch, ffs.
    USA & OVER.

    Luongo is starting at goalie? Did I miss something?

    How the hell can you even get 60 shots on goal if you are offensively lacking. The Latavian goaltender is young with a potential big upside, played the game of his life.

    Wish we could have saved each other some vig money here, but I doubt you are wagering much.

    What do you guys think the chances are that this game goes OT? Odds for the "goes to OT" bet are +305....that's pretty attractive for a game that I think has a decent chance of going into OT.

    The "Canadian" money is probably being neutralized by the rednecks in the US supportin' their country ("USA love it or leave it" bumper sticker on their F-350 type guys).

    The True North strong and free!
    From far and wide, O Canada,
    We stand on guard for thee.
    God keep our land glorious and free!
    O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
    O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

    Born and raised in Chicago, took Canada -110, +155 on the 3-way, and +265 on the pl. Too much firepower on Canada, blind faith for USA backers.
