Olympics Start in 30'

[DrunkenGoon]

with the women's soccer tournament...

I think there's lots of VALUE with Germany's women. Maybe I am missing something but the #1 fave to win the tournament should not be -0.25 -104 against Brazil here. Brazil is an up and coming team but they showed a bit of trouble scoring lately, 1-1 draw in Canada and two 1-0 losses to USA coming into the tournament.

Germany takes care of business here, I took it early at -0.5 +111(not very bright huh??).

Adding more at -0.25 -104.

Another game I find interesting, Sweden DNB -115, they opened -0.25 +110, I know China will get a lot of the breaks but I can't see China winning this one, Sweden is very solid, probably a refund but some upside with Sweden here.


Also sitting on CAnada -1.5 -130, Japan -0.75 -130, USA -0.5 -120 but those are long gone.

Hell had a hard time finding results. Till I tried ESPN.DUh..........Go figure they have em before the Official Plympic site.

I like Mark Spitz to win the swimming events.

[Mr Falcone]

Showing your age now old man.....LMAO Hell I remember watching him Win all 7 of them

At the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich (West Germany), Spitz was back to maintain his bid for the 6 gold medals. He did even more, winning 7 Olympic gold medals, a feat still unequaled by any other athlete in a single Olympiad.

Peggy Fleming should win the figure skating in the Winter time.

I got Tanya Harding for Table Max..She Blows...MAO

[Mr Falcone]

Then, at age 41, Spitz attempted to make a comeback in an attempt to qualify for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, after film maker Bud Greenspan offered to pay him a million dollars if he succeeded in qualifying. Filmed by Greenspan's cameras, Spitz failed to beat the qualifying limit, despite the fact his times were nearly as good as (and in some cases better than) his medal-winning times 20 years earlier.[citation needed]. But the sport had moved on during the intervening years and Spitz was well out of it.

Did they even televise the opening ceremonies here in the states??


never saw a single bit of coverage.

The opening ceremonies are friday night, they just started the mens and women soccer group play, 2 days before the opening ceremony. Trust me starting friday your not going to be able to turn on the TV without every channel covering the olympics in some shape or form.

Oh, i hate to even imagine how many are under house arrest, in prison, or dead, just because the Chinese government didn't want them protesting.
