Norway as always dominates in biathlon. By the way, has anyone made bets on this race? Due to a busy day with football, I missed this event, but I would like to know what were the quotes for the victory of the favorites. Biathlon, thanks to such a random factor as shooting, is a very dynamic sport and, in my opinion, is well suited for betting.
Usually I don't on biathlon.It's just too tricky because of shooting, especially in such conditions like in Beijing. You can predict who will be fastest on the track, bu shooting is unpredictable. I didn't bet on today's race, but for example on womens 15km individual race, win of favorite Marte OLsbu is rated @4.55. Following athletes is listed @6.84 and @8.49. On biathlon I would prefer H2H bets. Yes, I understand the problems of random biathlon results. But from a betting point of view, it's not so bad. It's like betting on friendly matches in football. In fact, everyone can win, regardless of the strength of the teams, so often bets on the underdog are profitable because sooner or later they win and the odds for their victory are large.

After 2nd day of Olympic games, 16 countries already won at least one medal. New Zeland won 1st ever Gold medal in Winter games. It was won by Zoi Sadowski-Synnott in women slopestyle. On Monday women individual biathlon race is most interesting for me. Also, I will watch ski jumping, luge and alpine skiing (if this event won't be postponed again because of weather conditions. Also, it's final day of figure skating team competition. Betting sites may be part of EU and USA boycott that's why they are not listing winter Olympics games on there websites. I was on stake.com but couldn't find any event related to winter Olympics, I was interested in Alpine. Can you share link where I can bet on Alpine?
You must be kidding if you say that sportsbooks would boycott Olympic Games because political reasons. I don't know how you searched, but I can find all Olympics events on Stake and Alpine skiing is listed on the top of All Sports. Other crypto sportsbooks aslo have it.

Wait, what? You don't gamble at the 1xbit scam casino you're promoting? I'm shocked. And, to suggest that there are no Olympics events on Stake is utter nonsense. Do you post just so you can fulfill your signature quota?

Norway and Sweden are at top position with 2x gold each. I would say I am not betting since I don't know much about these games. I am only interested in curling event and today we have semis of curling mixed double. Italy vs Sweden and England vs norway. Chance for norway to grab another gold.

It seems that Norway wanted to take a break from the gold medals. We now have the ROC - Russian Olympic Committee, with more gold medals. And it is interesting to note that the US has yet to win any gold medals. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2Fh8v4Lpx%2Foi-top.png&t=665&c=cNxDiwwVf7ArQQ)

I just watched the mixed competition of ski jumping and that was one of the weirdest competitions that i have ever seen and a really bad advertisement for the sport. There were 3 teams that had big chance to win a medal that were disqualified because the suits of the female athletes where to big. Therefore Germany, Austria and Japan have all been disqualified. In the end Slovenia won the gold medal, which was to be expected because they were the big favorites to win this one before, but the second place of Russia and the third place of Canada where a total surprise and were only possible because of the bans of the other nations. I guess no one placed a bet on a podium like that.

Sweden were pretty good today they pushed into first place after winning gold at Ski Alps. The competition is getting more interesting now because indeed they are following each other in the medal tally. But what happened to Norway today? are they holding back? There is no significant movement from them at this time. although indeed they only lost 1 gold medal from the top team but they are now in 6th position

Actually, on the third day, Sweden again topped the gold medal standings. Skier Sara Hector has justified her role as the favorite by winning the women's giant slalom race, giving Sweden its third gold medal.

There was big WTF moment in women hockey today. Russia and Canada played with face masks because Covid test results of Russia didn't arrived until the game. It's something beyond ridiculous to play hockey with - like it would protect you in game where you always have close contact: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/beijing/2022/02/07/canada-russia-mask-game-delay-beijing-winter-olympics/6687649001/In women luge competition there was at least 3 crashes, including one of favorites from Germany. Luckily nobody weren't hurt seriously, but this track looks dangerous. I just watched the mixed competition of ski jumping and that was one of the weirdest competitions that i have ever seen and a really bad advertisement for the sport. There were 3 teams that had big chance to win a medal that were disqualified because the suits of the female athletes where to big. Therefore Germany, Austria and Japan have all been disqualified. In the end Slovenia won the gold medal, which was to be expected because they were the big favorites to win this one before, but the second place of Russia and the third place of Canada where a total surprise and were only possible because of the bans of the other nations. I guess no one placed a bet on a podium like that.
Yeah, at first I didn't even understood what's going on. From what I read they used same suits in individual competition, so, it's very strange that it become not ok to use after few days. It's true that such podium is possible only in such occasion

I think the same, if a casino is not offering bets on Olympic events then it is unlikely this is because of political reasons and it has to do instead with the inability to offer those markets or simply they do not think they can turn a profit and decided to not offer those games. After all at the end of the day casinos are a business and as long as what they are doing is not illegal then they have no reason to forfeit a possible source of income.

It's true that such podium is possible only in such occasion Apparently, there are very specific rules regarding equipment, to prevent lighter athletes from having advantages. Therefore, the equipment must be adjusted to the athlete's weight. The fact that they used the same equipment the day before, and were not penalized, may be related to the weight of the other athletes or not having been detected by the juries. I do not know... But from the looks of it, these teams have been having equipment problems throughout the season. That's why I think they're already getting into that stubbornness issue and in that sense, I think it's good to have been penalized. They're trying to cheat the rules. Winter sports are already known, for athletes trying to beat, you can't pass up now, when they are caught breaking the rules.

Unless, the government itself instructed them to boycott this event, which is unlikely to happen. And if the casino is not listing the event, it may not be political reasons but they think that it is not profitable from their end.

Finally tomorrow men hockey competition will begin. Without NHL players, but still, one of main events of Olympics. Just 2 games tomorrow - Russia vs Switzerland and Czech Republic vs Denmark. Both games have clear favorites, so, I'll put parlay on Russia and Czech Republic wins. Esther Ledecka wins first gold for Czech Republic in snowboarding.
It was somewhat predictable - she was one of favorites to win. I still can't forget 2018 Olympics when she won gold medal both in snowboarding and skiing giant slalom. It was something incredible because she mainly focus on snowboarding. Will she participate in skiing giant slalom this time? What an amazing performance by Italy in the mixed Curling, it was my 1st-time watching an entire match of this sport and...
It is very funny to watch and a very technical sport to play.
Indeed, it was very solid performance from Italy. I haven't watched mixed curling before, so it was strange that athlete who release stone then start to sweep ice himself. In terms of strategy and technical skills it reminds me snooker a bit.

it's fun to watch short track. Continuous action and sensation, and there have been quite a few falls. That makes it extra fun. Skating is a lot less fun to watch. Those short distances are still OK, but if you're going to watch the 5000 meters then it might be best to do that with a beer in your hand, or 2. Plenty of time to eat it. I am curious who will finish at the top in the medal table. China?

Here political games won't be prioritised. The team analyse whether adding specific games will bring profit or not. If thats profitable, the platform adds it. Apart from this, some sites used to run polls and add games according to the polling results. Just because few games weren't added, we can't tie it to the government or political situation prevailing in specific country.

It is interesting to note how the medals are mostly being won by European countries. Neither the United States and Canada have managed to enter the top 10. And only China and the Russian altetas manage to be in the midst of so many European countries. Perhaps this shows that these sports are for athletes with more money, making countries with fewer resources, able to present more competitive athletes.

The women's giant slalom competition for Beijing 2022 already took place on Monday. Sara Hector (Sweden) won gold, while Federica Brignone (Italy) claimed silver and Lara Gut-Behrami (Switzerland) won bronze. I don't believe Ester Ledecka competed in that discipline this time.

I won't say that it's the case, yes having more money might play a role but the skills of an athlete is the biggest factor for the wins in the competition. To some degree I can sympathize though, I mean I came from a poor country that doesn't support their athletes which ends up with some of them going to greener pastures and end up getting representing the country that appreciated them.
