Rest assured, however, that we have all your bases covered with Betting Choice’s unbeatable Olympic betting guide!
The overall medal count is a great place to start and William Hill has some solid odds on offer. There looks to be five countries that are really expected to compete for top honours here and they include Germany, Canada, the USA, Norway and Russia. Austria and Sweden could also be factors if any of the aforementioned five nations have a lacklustre 2010 games. Germany are the 8/5 favourites to get more medals than anyone else while Canada trades at 5/2. The United States pays out at 4/1 while Norway trades at 6/1. Russia is listed at a 10/1 price.
Great Britain’s 2010 Olympics odds don’t look sparkling, but they are favoured to get a few medals at least. Currently, William Hill lists 2-3 medals for team GB at 4/5 with 0-1 paying out at 11/5. 4-5 medals for team GB rewards at 7/2. While 6 or more medals for Great Britain pays a massive 20/1.

The odds to win Olympic Hockey are going to be the hottest markets at the 2010 Games. Canada are considered fairly strong favourites to win both the men’s and women’s Ice Hockey at the 2010 Olympics. The odds on Canada’s Men’s Hockey team to win are priced at even money- meaning a £100 bet rewards at £200. Russia is paying out at 5/2 while Sweden are real contenders at 6/1. The USA are the only other plausible winners at 9/1. The Czech Republic and Finland are in with a shout at 12/1 and 13/1, respectively. Slovakia pays 50/1. Group betting is also available and Canada, Russia and Sweden are all short-priced to win their groups.
For the 2010 Olympic Women’s Hockey betting, Canada are massive favourites at 1/2 and it looks like there is only one team that can stop them – their perennial rivals the United States. The Americans pay out at 13/10 to win gold while the closest competitor, Sweden, pays a massive 20/1.
2010 Olympic Curling is going to be another hot market and this looks like a great opportunity to claim gold for Canada. You’ll find the Canucks listed at an odds-on price of 8/11 with William Hill to win gold in men’s curling. Great Britain look very competitive at 7/2 with Norway trading at 5/1. These are likely your podium finishers as the closest competition looks to be the Swedes and the USA at 15/1.
Canada’s Olympic Women’s Curling are also favourites, but face some stiff competition from China, of all places. Canada’s ladies of the rink pay out at 6/4 for the win while the Chinese are a slim 2/1. Sweden and Switzerland look competitive at 6/1 and 8/1, respectively.
After studying the odds, it looks very much apparent that Canada is expected to dominate the team sports at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
