The 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics are right around the corner and the odds for the ice hockey championship are posted.
Canada is the big favorite to take home a gold medal in ice hockey at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics after failing to medal in the 2006 Turin games. The Canadians took home a Winter Olympics gold medal in 2002 and can be had for 11/10 odds at BoDog Sportsbook.
Russia at 21/10 and Sweden at 11/2 odds seem to be the main competition for the Canadians in the 2010 ice hockey Winter Olympic championship. Take advantage of the 10% free cash sign-up bonus that BoDog Sportsbook is giving away to new customers before making your bets in the Vancouver Winter Olympics. Sweden is the defending ice hockey champion in the Winter Olympics.
The United States looks like they could pull the upset in ice hockey after coming in 2nd place in 2006. You can get this team at 7/1 odds but I think there are better values in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Finland was the silver medal winner in ice hockey during the 2006 Olympics and you can get that squad at 15/1 odds to take home gold this time around in Vancouver.
Rounding out the ice hockey championship betting odds for the 2010 Winter Olympics are Belarus at 500/1, the Czech Republic at 15/1, Germany at 450/1, Latvia at 500/1, Norway at 500/1, Slovakia at 30/1, and Switzerland at 125/1.
The betting odds are also up on the teams to advance from each division in the ice hockey championships at the Vancouver Olympics. Canada is a ¼ favorite from Group A while Russia looks like an easy bet at 10/29 odds from Group B. Group C is a two-way race between Finland and Sweden with the Swedes having a small edge at ½ odds for the2010 ice hockey championships.
