Olympic Hockey Betting Tips PT 2

Once you get out of the top four contenders the odds start to get pretty lengthy with Finland being the best placed team should all four leading fancies slip up somehow. They are available at a 13.0 price tag and could drop if they progress well from their match-up in the quarter finals.

The Czech Republic can be backed at a 15.0 listing while Switzerland are also competitive at a 17.0 price. 

The odds go all the way up to 1001.0 for Norway to win the Olympic gold medal. What a story that would be. It hardly seems plausible though with the Norwegians trading at a full 21.0 to beat Russia in their first match of the knock out round. The Russians return as little as 1.05 to win the match and its going to be a question of “how many?” with the Russians really just not wanting to pick up injuries or expel too much energy. 

Staying fresh for the next round is going to be particularly crucial and the Czech Republic go into their match as the outright favourites with a 1.83 price that’s likely to attract a fair amount of betting volume. Look for them to kick on against Slovakia and they look likely to form a popular parlay wager with Switzerland to topple Latvia - which pays out at 1.44. 

The double pays a 2.62 margin and that’s not bad value for these two extremely plausible winners. 

Slovenia against Austria looks to be the real toss up in the next stage of the competition with a slight edge being given to the Austrians with a 2.37 price tag putting them just ahead of 2.62 Slovenia.
