........ Does anyone know anything about any sport in these olympics?

I know that if apolo ohno doesn't win the 1500 shorttrack this morning I'm screwed

the early hockey coupon is com, 5 of the 6 games have a team at 1.17 or less

Not really, have a limited knowledge of Ice Hockey which is the biggie for the host nation.

It is amazing how big "Hockey" is in Canada, was there during the NHL playoffs last year and it was wall to wall coverage.

also on meng wang @ evens in the 1k shorttrack, if she doesn't fall she wins. some bookies seem to have stopped taking bets on her already

golod tip on the Meng Wang...

I only know Sven to win the mens 1000k at 1/16... Get on get paid!

bollocks, only 2nd. that hurt

Canada 18 - 0 Slovakia.... I presume Slovakia are awful and Canada are reasonable!

I think canada were best priced at 1.02 before the match

lool! Get on get paid!!!!

Given what I just saw that is buying money. No way if they play that game 50 times do Slovakia win.

A man had a tragic accident not 3/4 days ago, yet these crazy M/Fers are going mental down this ice slope....

I salute you Luggers!

Anyone watch the Mens boardercross? So so good. Women tomorrow which should be pretty good aswell if it's anything like the last one.

Yeh i watched it. It's amazing how often the man at the front for most of the way doesn't win. Must just play it safe as people behind seem to find speed from nowhere.

I soooo want to ride that board cross course, it's incred

The camel toe at the moment is incred, i'm just waiting for chazz micheal micheals and jimmy macelroy to come out now.. Not seen anyone attempt this either :

It's amazing the Canadian mens hockey team are odds against to win gold with UK bookies.  North American sports books all have them -200 (1/2).   As close a comparison with football as I can think of is imagine Brazil had hosted the world cup in 1970's with that team they had then..there's no chance they'd start odds against.  Canada have the best team they've ever taken to an Olympics and are host nation which ought to be a positive despite the pressure.  They're also using an NHL sized rink instead of an International rink (which is much bigger) which suits their style of play. 

The Russians have an awesome team, so much fire power, but they have some weakness on their blue line and in goal.  The have shown some typical stubborn national pride with their squad selection and chosen players from their KHL league instead of proven NHLers - just to show everyone their league is as good, which of course it isn't.

Sweden are defending champs, but are old now, with almost the same team that won in Turin...they're leading players are two very scary looking ginger twins.  It's a frightful sight seeing them skate down the ice - a blurry ginger apparition if you will.

The USA are going through a transitional period and have taken a very young team to the Olympics this time around.  No miracle for this team, a place lay for me.

Very much looking forward to this tournament.  Hockey is my favourite sport.  I've had a chunky bet on Canada, obviously anything can happen, but there's no way they should be odds against so one has to have faith in ones judgment here and take the plunge in my humble opinion.  Slovakia are good dark horses for a bronze too.

I've said my piece, I'll bid you good day.  There's more of this crap on my blog incidentally.

When does the hockey start/finish?

Mens starts tonight finishes 28th

Canada perennially has an under-strength side for the World Championships due to most of their best players still being involved with the playoffs and thereby unavailable, but this looks like a full strength squad which I am looking forward to watching.

I lived in Canada for eight years, mostly in Toronto and I became a big NHL fan despite being weaned on The Leafs who must have one of the worst records in the NHL over the last thirty years or so.

I've just read up on the Canadian squad and have lumped on @ 2.4 on BF, it's an amazing price imo for what should be a penalty kick.

GO LEAFS GO ! or whatever it is they chant when the organ stops.

Nice write up, might have 2 get involved.

Whos our British snowboarding woman on tonight?

Zoe Gillings

me too! Incred course

is she sponsored by pokerstars? she has several stars hats that she wears in interviews

it's quite possible she had to get alternate funding after snow uk or whatever they were called went busto

def a stars pro. her board and all her clothes are ps branded too

yep

http://www.zoe.org.im/sponsor.php

I could watch women's speed skating all day (and probably all night too)

Double Luge. Wow, wtf and all other amazed epithets.


Curling is addictive. However each end a team of 4 has 8 stones each. The first six stones each they whack each others stones off the rink so it always comes down to a 2 stone end. Design fault in the game I think

fyp

I am truly amazed that Canada are still 2.4 on BF to win the men's ice-hockey.

I may have to go in again and I've already had a max. bet.

Women's relay speed skating is even better  :)up

Shaun White is awesome.


That is all.

Yea he's so far ahead of everyone it's ridiculous. I guess that's why he's got his own pipe to practice on.

Russian skip in the womens curling is having a mare ... I would like to offer my shoulder for her to have a cry on ... she is hot !

Red Bull gave him wings!!

well, they gave him the Pipe anyway

Just emailed a friend saying the same thing. Well the only difference was I said the whole Russian team were hot.

amy williams destroying the field after one run in the kamikaze event

apparently we're the most successful nation ever at this, quite a surprise

These girlies are scaring me half to death just watching them, they must have huge gonads..

it does look much scarier than the luge

Dunno man, I think ours minus the chav hairstyle is at least as nice..........

our amy's beaten her own track record with her 3rd run. .52 second lead with one run to go, the gold is very much hers to lose now

awesome amy! whens final run scheduled time please..

12.55

Indeed - I'd happily knock my stones into her house, or something.


Yeah - over half a second in front, as long as she stays on the tea tray she's home and hosed.

Coming off that last corner is brutal - they have all smacked straight into it, apart from Amy.

yeah, they're hitting that corner a lot harder than yesterday

I'd be wearing padding on that shoulder, it looks pretty painful

ty gatsooooo

The bbc are looking for a skeleton expert Andrew, you seem to fot the bill.

I learnt all I know about TV commentating from David Pleat.

LOL did you see that last run, how did she stay on?

Also, WTF the British bird shouldn't be talking to the media in between runs, concentrate FFS!!!!!

I shall not hit the wall or fall off x 200.

When did Steve Cram become a curling expert?

Will Alan Hansen be doing biathlon commentary?

"Well swept by the British team".

WTF Crammy? You used to be the fastest miler on the planet, now you are commentating on women doing the housework, you need to take a good long hard look at yourself mate.

pls do this with the krauts in 2nd and 3rd

GOLD  ;letsparty;

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

shipppppppppp

incred. it wasn't even close

She is fit too, i think, i ave had a few too many

The Canadians have put in a protest about Amy Williams helmet. What b******ds. It's not like they would get gold if the appeal is upheld.

Chances of our girl getting disqualified is unlikely as a similar appeal after the first day by the Americans was chucked out.

Ridic, she is clearly a woman !!  besides, you would have been able to see it through those lycra suits :D

Smirk...the German's have got a ski jumper called Andreas Wank.    :D

Two big games this evening in the men's ice-hockey.

Russia v Czech Rep., and Canada v USA. I'm looking forward to these.

skicross this evening. first time in the olympics, hope it's as good as the boardercross was

Eve Muirhead, British skip in the Curling.

Yes please.

2 man bob crashing ... at last something we excel at !! 

+1

Needs to get rid of the chav badger hairstyle, but I agree...........

AND the accent ;)

Never mind the perving, I'm on the Czechs in the hockey @ 3/1 v's Russia.

Cracking match-up on now via red button

delivers on the very first race. awesome midair crash

It's events like skicross and skeleton that makes the winter olympics so much better than the summer olympics.

I like the chav badger hairstyle  :o

Shame she bottled it last night against the americans.

ha ha ha ... brilliant sport !!

Russian skip >>>>>>>>> Eve

I just don't see what you guys are seeing in this Muirhead Curling chick.

the danish skip looks like her from extras

She's looking foxy with her head band on :)

Is it just the GB team or is bickering part of Curling?


extra portion of bacon maybe

its grim up north

It doesn't look like meals are being shared evenly between the Danish team

[  ] I sure understand wtf is going on with the first 6 stones of each end.

you're not scottish enough obv. first 4 they're not allowed to knock each others off the pitch unless they're in the target thing. that's why they put up guards instead of just larruping it

From where I'm standing it looks like the game is played with banjos, the aim is to hit the side of a cow, and we're not very good at it.

Sigh, the scots lose it again.........

anyone else find it a bit creepy when you have siblings doing ice dance?

Yes

So are all you fellas topping up now the odds are 3.1 or have you not been inspired by the USA defeat?

I might get on @ 3.1

The gold medal match looks like it will be a bit of a flip.

Canada would have won that game against the US the other night probably 9 out of 10 times.  They dominated, they just ran into an inspired goalie and for some reason played Brodeur who might have drunk a pint of Night nurse before the game - instead of Luongo. 

When they won it 2002 they were awful in the group stages, lost to Sweden, just beat Jerry 3-2 and drew 3-3 with the Czechs.  I think Canada would be quite happy to play the US again for a gold medal this time around.  Really all this does is bring the Gold medal game forward two stages to the Quarters.  Canada will play Jerry tonight and then Russia in the quarters.  3.1 for Canada to win the Gold is huge in my opinion. 

So much over reaction over preliminary games.  If you listen to the Canadian press they're slaughtering their team wondering how they can beat teams like Russia if they can't beat USA, but conveniently forgetting that already Russia have lost too - to Slovakia.

To quote Mario Lemieux when asked about the Prelims.. in 2002 - "they'll be some games and then the tournament will really start." 

5 or 6 way flip?

Not saying Canada a good or bad price but there are number of teams who could win this and it wouldn't be a massive surprise.

Yeah I'm not on.

Know hee-haw about hockey.

Pre-tournament it was really just Russia and Canada, but now they'll play each other before the medal rounds so one is going home with nothing.  Those two teams apart Sweden look the strongest, but they'll now play Canada/Russia in the Semi's.  The US did well to beat Canada, but they were dominated so bad it's hard to imagine how they won (it's a 4-3 loss also really as the final goal was after they'd pulled the goalie.)

Czechs and Slovaks look a little short to me.

How it should pan out;  

Quarters:  

Russia v Canada
Sweden v Slovakia

USA v Switzerland
Finland v Czech Repoobleek


Semi's

Canada (we hope) v Sweden
USA v Czech Repoobleek


Final

Canada v Czech Repoobleek

GOLD - Canada
Silver - Czech Repooobleek
Bronze - Sweden


So there!

So Britain got knocked outta the Vancouver Winter Olympics Curling Event...

no surprise really...them scrubbing people have no training, we get all our cleaners from abroad.

Nice goal!!

;gobsmacked;

obv cant bet on things you jack shit about..

Curling play off just about to start ... British or Scottish ??  we will let the result decide ;)

Is comedy when Steve Cram says, if you like Curling get yourself onto ffsTryCurling.com.w/ever and there are sessions all over the United Kingdom you can go along to.

Tunbridge Wells + every scottish village = all over the UK apparently.

Scottish, just like the women's team imo.

Canada 4-1 up against Russia - 1st period.  

3.1 Canada to win gold before the puck drop, 2.01 now with the game not even a third of the way over.

Blew the curling when we had the hammer in the 10th.

Interesting game though, Chess on ice.

Curling ... meh

womens bob ... meh

Yeah I had £250 on at 2/1 outright before this match, so hold here please and win the gold ... 6-2 atm.

Wee, comfortable 7-3 win against the russians.. Bring on Sweden..

If the hockey and betting Gods want to do us a favour I'd like to see Sweden lose tonight to Slovakia.  Much rather see Canada play them in the semi.

Big win in the Hockey for Canada, shocked they beat the Ruskis so easily.

I've laid off on Canada now @ 1.66 after topping up yesterday @ 3.3 so have a decent freeroll.

I reckon if it's a Canada v USA final, Canada will still be around 1.4/1.5, so laying 1.66ish now seems like a good deal.

Bet this wasn't how she dreamed her Olympics would go:

Snap.

Actually I've been kicking myself for not waiting a while and then laying off at around 1.5

It cost me about £50 but I've still got a nice litle freeroll :)

Go Canucks Go  ;cheerleader;

Hollddd Riesch!!!!

Blimey, the yanks are going goal crazy in the ice hockey ... I am following it by text by the way.

Must be the most stupid sport ever televised, you just cannot see the puck ffs !

HD obv

I am watching the Mens Biathlon ... sure fire cure for insomnia that is ! ... need some speed skating to see those women in skin tight suits and chunky thighs to wake me up a bit :)

I can't always see the football when I watch American football.
You don't watch the puck you watch the players.

Hockey is still pants like, but I'll have a bit every 4 years

4 man bob, run 2 is on now ... its carnage, crashes at corner 13 nearly every time !

Canada in semis now, just gone 2-0 up ... Get it done!

3-0 after second period.

many thanks to meng wang for doing what I expected and getting me out of the big winter olympics shaped hole I was in. break even for the games now

Is the final of the ice hockey tonight or tomorrow?

Tomorrow at 20:15 I'm sure, Bronze Medal tonight.

cool, ty

the snow leopard coming up.

Representing Milton Keynes... Go Ghana!!

is that the dude who'd never been skiing until he took a job as receptionist at the mk snowdome? proper olympic story that one

There's an arb. on the men's ice-hockey on BF.

You can bet 1.54 Canada on the money line for the final, and lay 1.53 on the gold medal winning market.

You can also back USA @ 2.88 and lay them @ 2.86

Fill your boots !

1-0 Canada ... gl to those with bets on.

2-0

Go Canada
edit 2-1

lol 24 secs to go, USA equalise.

Dig deep Canada, come on

unreal!

USA USA USA USA USA USA....

Fuck off stribling. Cmon Canada.

Golden goal is probably better in ice skating than football as it's more end to end is that right or is it just as boring?

penalties please. I hate ice hockey except for pens which are cool

I'd like penalties too but obv prefer half of blonde on Canada to win asap

Wooo, Canada win

I enjoyed overtime. They've been slagging that lad off all night

Never in doubt  ::)

Good post, mate.

Sick sweat, weeeeeee canadaaaa

I wasn't just slagging Crosby for being a choker, or preparing a blog entry about how he isn't a legend as he would have won the Gold for his team if he was.  I'd have looked a silly old c*nt doing something like that.

Thank you Canada...pfff odds against indeed.

Thanks mate, brown trousers time there for a time.  Fantastic final though, so often anti-climaxes.

siggh... I just want to join in your celebrations.. Bloody USA chanting took me in!!

nice one

Phew had a lump on this..............
