Winter Olympics 2018

Player To Win Snowboarding – Women’s Half pipe

Chloe Kim +135 for 3 units.

Arielle Gold +950 for 3 units.

At the Aspen X-Games, these two got gold and silver in the superpipe event. Gold went into first place after her last run, then Kim stole the Gold with her last run. Chloe Kim has arrived. She is only 17 and I think she will get her first olympic gold in the halfpipe here. Arielle Gold had a a near flawless run that she had never landed in an event, but Kim’s back 2 back 1080s stole the gold from Gold. I think Arielle may come through based on her impressive X-Games performance, but Kim is obviously the favorite.

 

Odds to win Men’s Ice Hockey

Russia -110 for 2 units. I am going with the favorite here. A lot of the best players will not be playing in this event due to the NHL schedule. Russia has, arguably, the second best hockey league in the world. I think Russia should be a heavier favorite so I am going to take the value here. If they make it to the championship game and are playing a heavy underdog, I will most likely hedge on the underdog. Best of luck.

NCAAB February 9th

15-10-1 on NCAAB in 2017 up 5.25 units

31-28 on NCAAB in 2018 up 5.93 units

Idaho -6 for 2 units. Idaho has the better defense and advantage inside. Also, Idaho moves the ball better on offense. Idaho has been dominating opponents lately and I expect more of the same here. Brayon Blake is shooting over 45% from deep for Idaho and adds a nice threat from the forward position. Victor Sanders has been leading Idaho lately. I just can’t see Idaho losing this game.

Hockey February 9th

6-6-1 in Hockey up 6.85 units

Panthers ML -105 for 1 unit. Haari Sateri has been playing well at goalie for the Panthers. They have won their past 4 games with him. The Kings have won 4 of their past 5 games and have a solid away record. If you look closer at their away record, they have only won one away game in the past 6 against a team with a winning record. The Panthers play better at home and I like them here. Best of luck.
