World Cup Gambling
I spent a few minutes looking at the odds for the upcoming World Cup races at the Swedish 5-days (which begins next week).
A few observations...
It is interesting to see that Gueorgiuo is the favorite in all three events (long, middle and sprint). As you might expect, he is a bigger favorite in the middle distance.
At first glance, I'd put some money on Mattias Millinger in the long. I wouldn't necessarily expect him to win, but his odds look off to me. A small bet, a little luck, a good run by Mattias, and you'd take home a load of money.
I'd write more, but dinner is ready.
To check out the odds yourself, go to www.svenskaspel.se and click on "sport" and then click on "oddset langen" and then look for a link to "Till Oddsetkupongen!" That will open a window where you can find a link to "Orientering" and then you'll get a list of the odds.
