Olympics Wagering Ski Jumping [B]Austria to win the Team Ski Jumping Event -345[/B]
Ok, I hear you saying what on earth Alf do you know about Ski Jumping?
Well, I've been researching many sports for the up-coming Winter Olympics in Vancouver. We are always looking for an edge/advantage in betting any sport.
The Austrian's should be easily 10-1 or more to win the Team Ski Jumping event, and here's why. They have 4 of the Top 5 ski jumpers/flyers in the World and are rated so in the World Cup Standings. Whenever this team assembles these top jumpers they win.
The last World Cup event, the Austrians did not participate, they were in Vancouver to practice. 10 days prior to the Olympics no competitors are allowed to use the facilities.
I know a couple of guys that follow all the skiing events and they say that the Austrians are a slam dunk to win the Team Event, infact, they said that for them to lose this competiton, two jumpers would have to break their legs or fall off the base.
The Olympics start Friday. Some sportsbooks have this line up (Pinny), some will post as the event gets closer to the actual date of the event which is Feb 22.
