2010 WINTER OLYMPICS BETTING FAVOURITES OFFICIAL FORECAST

There’s going to be plenty of hot betting action unfolding over the next few weeks in sunny Vancouver, Canada. The 2010 Olympic Winter Games are presenting us with a wide selection of primo betting opportunities and I’m looking forward to virtually every single event. There is a great atmosphere in the city and tourists are piling into beautiful downtown Vancouver. Meanwhile, the athlete’s village is getting rave reviews from all the Olympic competitors.
We’re going to be putting together a list of favourites for every single major sport we can find odds on. Remember that anything can happen at the Olympics, but if the odds are to be believed, these are your likely winners.
