Winter Olympics about to blast off

As promised, 888sport has put up more fantastic markets on Winter Olympic events. This will give you an amazing amount of events to bet on. There will be even more markets put up over the next week so keep checking for your favorite sport if it isn’t on the site already. Why not earn a few extra dollars cheering home the very best in the world on the only stage that matters.

In the mogul skiing Australia’s Dale Begg-Smith is the favorite at $2.75. If a Canadian can’t win the event then we will have to cheer for the Canadian that the Aussies stole from us. In the women’s event Alberta local Jennifer Heil will be doing her very best and is the favorite at $3.00. Jennifer, whose smile is as well known as her skiing, won gold in Torino but nothing would surpass winning gold in front of her home crowd.

In the snowboarding cross it’s the flying Frenchman Pierre Vaultier who is a very short favorite at $2.10. His main challenge might come from the US team with defending champion Seth Wescot ($9) and Nate Holland ($10) rated among the other chances. The only thing you have to watch in this event is the egos - these guys live the playboy lifestyle equivalent to racing car drivers. In the girls snowboarding cross American glamour girl Lindsey Jacobellis is equal favorite with our very own Maelle Ricker at $3.75. This should be one of the most anticipated clashes of the Games and one that certainly shouldn’t be missed.

Nordic combines, ski jumping, biathlon and all the alpine skiing events have been put up on 888sport in the last week. So now is the time to jump on and get that good price before it disappears. Do a little bit of research on your favorite athletes and then sit back and enjoy the show and bring 888sport along for the ride to help you fill your pockets with gold.
