Maxence Parrot a Slopestyle Banker Pt 2

Toutant can be backed on the exchanges at around 4.2 before things really kick off while you can also lock in a wager on the other competitive Canadian in the mix here and he’s trading at 2.2 - that’s Mark McMorris.

The big wager to make on this market, however, is the Parrot bet and you can find a very distinct line-up of different price ranges for the slopestyle gold medal and the odds are anywhere from 23/20 with Bet365 all the way up to 2.58 on the exchanges right now. There is a chance that the odds will drop substantially once we actually venture into the in-running wagering - which is something you can expect with nearly every major wagering site in the UK and Europe. 

Parrot’s real challengers look to be Roope Tonteri who can be backed at a best price of 6.4 on the exchange, while Mark McMorris (who recently complained to the media about being scored so far behind Parrot despite a really impressive run) is also becoming more and more competitive at 9.0. It’s tough to really think that politics comes heavily into play but snowboarding is a very close world and this is a judged event so it will be interesting to see how the controversy in Canada and some other countries might affect the judge’s final scores here. 

You can also get in on Staale Sandbech at an 8.2 price but those are the only three challengers who are available at single digit prices on the exchange for the outright victory. 

There is a lot to like about the odds lines that most major bookmakers have released for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi and now that the western countries have seen the opening ceremonies we can really get down to business. With hockey, skiing and some of the most exciting contests of the Olympics just on the horizon, we can all expect a stellar few weeks of punting.
