Other News :: Winter Olympics Odds: "Team Russia" Expected to Win Hockey Gold

Posted on 2018-02-08 by Gooner

The 2018 Winter Olympics begin this Friday in Pyeongchang, South Korea, and this year’s festival will see 102 events spread across 15 different disciplines, with betting odds available right now at Bovada Sportsbook

Of the 92 nations participating, Norway is the +110 favorite to take home the most medals, followed by Germany at +150 and Team USA at +375.

If those Olympic odds seem a bit strange, that’s because Russia is not included.

Mens Hockey
However, a delegation of 169 athletes will be allowed to perform under the banner “Olympic Athletes of Russia,” and that delegation is favored at even money to win the men’s Ice Hockey gold medal.

Canada and Sweden are joint second at +450 to win Hockey Gold while Team USA trails at +1000, with no players from the NHL in attendance this year. Most professional leagues in Europe will take an Olympic break, including Russia’s Kontinental Hockey League.

Womens Hockey
Team USA is in much better shape as solid favourites to win at –130 to win the gold medal in women’s Ice Hockey.

Canada (+110) took home the gold at each of the last four Games, beating the US in the finals on three occasions; however, Canada is vulnerable following the 2017 retirement of Hayley Wickenheiser.
