I remember last time the Olympics rolled around a bunch of people were throwing down some cash betting on halfpipe and slopestyle.
Anyone gonna bet this year?

I’m gonna grow some mo way at it for sure. Waiting for now though. Gonna watch the odds before and after qualifiers for snowboarders today. If the odds don’t change after qualifiers it makes more sense to wait until finals is determined before placing a bet.

Right now though I’m thinking putting $20 on Henrik and woodsy each.

It'd be interesting to see odds for slope silver and bronze, specifically. The payout for pipe sucks since the podium is so predictable, and we can probably just give slope gold to Henrik now, but the 2nd and 3rd places bets for slope could get interesting.

Yeah, pipe is kinda boring for betting. I’m tempted on putting mo yeah on Bellemare and woodsy with safe bets on Øystein and Henrik. Odds make it work that if one of the former won it’s a sick payout. The later would pretty much break even.

Either that or put $50 on woodsy and get a cool $1000 when he takes the win?!

Both these websites mentioned by op don't allow people from the US to bet. What are some other legit betting websites?

All online gambling sites are run thru other countries because it's not legal in the US. Used to sketch me out but I've been using BetDSI for a few years now and havent had my identity stolen yet. Another big one is Bovada

Yes..!

I did this last time out but the odds were a lot more wacky. Goepper was the favourite and a lot shorter odds than most of the other riders. I got odds on Kenworthy of around 25/1 last time and Joss Christensen was at around 35ish/1. Think Henrik was around 15/1.
I didn't originally bet on Joss but I came on NS in the lead up to the event and read a post about Joss throwing an unnat triple in training so put a bet on him as well with each/way odds and he obv took podium.

This time out where do you guys see the value?

Henrik at 7/1 is okay, Mcrae at 15/1 is tempting but he hasn't been banging lately. Woodsy is a longer bet at 33/1 but I don't fancy him for gold, just podium.

A Hall 66/1 to win and 16/1 podium. Why A Hall?

I'm UK based. William Hill has odds for podium.

The favourite almost never wins in the Olympics but I'd still bet on Harlaut. Goepper could still podium, Oystein will win if he does the back to back 14s and a triple and Andri has crazy good odds because you know he could land two triples but rails might be his downfall. My dark horse for silver is Gus because he has a triple, a 1620, has insane rail game and if he throws a pipe trick on that wall on the second feature I can imagine the judges rewarding him a lot. I'm excited to see what lines people take and new tricks that people have and secretly hope that a total dark horse wins/gets on the podium.

I use Bovada. Site works well but much better to pull your money out to Bitcoin instead of cash.

Here are their current money lines:

It's gonna be so sick now that we have big air. I've always been jealous that snowboarding had big air and we didn't. I think skiing's more interesting for big air anyways, snowboardings basically just triple corked to 14 or 16 the entire contest

Might be the first time we see 10,000 to 1 odds on Liz Swaney

If anyone gives you 10,000 to 1 odds on anything, you take that bet. If John Mellencamp ever wins an Oscar, I will be one rich dude.
