I would put £10 on Henny to win and £10 on Henny to be on the podium. Its like printing money especially at those odds!

If judging is anything like snowboard slope, Nick doesn't have a chance in hell of winning gold. #judgeshatetriples

Nick's triples are cleaner than most people's dubs

That's not the point. McMorris had two good ones in his run and the judges let a person who didn't even dub off the last jump (said cab 16, with no video I'm assuming it was not a double) win gold. If the judging is anything like board slope, he wont win, especially because Hatveit and Harlaut have butter dubs. That being said, the judges aren't the same people and it could be a triple fest on the podium (lets hope not).

disagreed. mcmorris in the rail section was 4/4 with rightsided spins. idk boarding that well, but pretty sure thats on on par wight he other top guys.

goepper has the rail variety and technicality. he's not my favorite rider, but I can't find may reasons to knock him, even based on the judging we just saw

goepper has butter dubs too. He also has sw dub 9 screamin seamin. so wether is a triple fest or creativity/style contest, he will do great. Just like x games

neither goepper nor wise represent freeskiing the way I'd like it being represented (wise becoming pastor after his career ending, wtf?!), but you can't deny that goepper is a fucking machine who can do basically everything possible except those weird ass slides parry does.

same goes for wise in halfpipe, except that torin and others are at same odds to win in terms of being able of everythin (imo)

Lol, so betting on Harlaut is like printing money?

This is REALLY printing money, provided by Nordicbet

You can bet on this ski slopestyle 1vs1: Janne Korpi (2.30) - (1.55) Fabian Boesch. Betting tip: only one of them is a skier. If Nordicbet doesn't notice this.. there's gonna be plenty of easy money up for grabs

Fuck, what are the odds of the judges scoring fairly and sensibly.

Based on the snowboard slope style scoring, I don't even know what I should bet on. I feel lie jossi, harlaut, and joss are good ones.

I don't care who have the best chances of winning, I placed a bet on who I hope might win.

Joss has a lot of pressure since people think it should be wallisch.
Henrik is a people's choice. Good guy, good skier.
Jossi has style for days.

yeah, i can't find a site that will let my use my canadian credit card or debit, and I'm having a hard time finding a site that uses paypal that even allows Canadians to place a bet.

I found a site that will let me put a combination bet on Gus and Kevin to win and if I put in $27 on that bet the pay out is around $3000, too bad it seems like Canadian banks aren't a fan of letting people use their credit cards for online gambling.


Grrrrr..

Odds are always changing. I hope my money goes through quick. Putting $50 on hen and then 20 on kenny, and maybe a few bucks here and there on some other men/women.

pipe

i put 10 on torin being a little conservative. Riddle and rolland would pay out well if they winn and have a reasonable chance to take it

I made a thread about this but I got:

Gus at 24/1 last week.

Henrik at 15/1

ABM at 100/1

Joss at 39/1

I was thinking that because there are only 3 jumps it will seriously level the playing field.
