No he isn't on there, Torin and Kevin Rolland at 8-1 are good bets, also Joss Christensen on Ladbrokes is 40-1 which is an absolute bargain.

Not much to win tho with a odds of 2,30. But I just saw that the odds on Henrik were taken from 11 to 8 so I think I will wait and see if Goepper gets better odds. But what do you guys think does PK have any chance? His odds is at 75 so I think I have to bet 2 on him or something.

damn, sportsbook (where my money is) doesn't even have henrik listed... it's just haatveit +350, Woods +475 and Goepper +110, or the field at -149 (which sucks)

Anyone got any tips to bet the women's events?

Lisa Zimmerman and Katie Summerhayes both have good chances of winning with better odds than the top americans

I bet on 2 or 3 skiers for each mens and womens even. Had to have odds of at least 4.5 : 1 to make it worthwhile.

Kaya, Lisa, Gus, Harlaut, Joss, Roz, Favre, Rolland, Torin, Male Piper Skier

Forget the other 3.

Not sure what max pay out is but somewhere in the 4 figures.

Yeah Wise is 3/2 and im not sure what torin is, but id take both of them. Just not a lot of money to win for the risk with Wise.

Yeah not really a big payout for wise but I couldn't see myself betting for anyone else because I feel like he will almost definitely win

For US gamblers, bovada is the most popular, for all sports.

Don't all go to the same site. The Bookies are clueless right now, If they're still offering around 10-1 for Henrik, It'd be better to go to different sites before they learn that Henrik's odds are very generous, and They'll pick that by incoming bets.



Basically, More bets on Henrik= Less odds

If you are UK/euro based:

http://www.oddschecker.com/winter-olympics/freestyle-skiing/olympic-freestyle-skiing-mens-slopestyle/winner


this is perfect. Find highes odds and bet there.


I have no idea about US bookmakers/odds checkers.

how do parlay's work?

A parlay basically works like this:

For example:
You bet XX amount of dollars that henrik, david wise, and bobby brown will all win. To win the parlay, all 3 people would have to win. The odds of you winning are lower than just betting on one person, because every person has to win.

Normally parlays include 2-10 different bets and you have to win every bet to get the money.

The idea is bet a small amount, and win big.

Bets in parlays do not all have to be in the same sport.


Example 2.

Odds on Detroit red wings winning a specific game: 1/2

Odds on Chicago blackhawks winning a specific game: 1/2

If you were to do a parlay bet with both games, the odds would be something like 1/4 or 1/5 that both teams win their respective games.

Fuck this shit just won a decent amount on Joss at 30-1 but I cant take it out because I accepted a welcome bonus when I signed up. I think I need to use the money I won and play/win 6 more times on odds higher than 1.5 before I can take out any money if I have understand this correctly. Anyone on here that bet on betsson.com that know what I should do?

Bet on that website on something you think WONT happen, then lay the opposite for on Betfair or equivalent. Hopefully you'll lose and get money into your betfair account that you can insta-withdraw... if not, repeat above. You'll lose a tiny % each time (the commission to betfair) but you'll still get the majority.

If you're unlucky enough to 'lose' 6 times, you'll just have the $$$ in your bookie account which you'll be able to withdraw.

Google "matched betting" to make sure you get it, you have to bet certain amounts, but there's calculators online for it... It's actually free money if you bonus-whore all the bookies
