 |  Online casinos odds for 2006 Winter Olympics
2 Nov 2005
Next year is a year for the Winter Olympics, and online casinos have begun offering odds on the prospects for who will take home the gold in the international hockey competitions of those upcoming games, which are set to be held at Turin, Italy next year. The games will be held between February 10, 2006 and February 26, 2006. The last Winter Olympic Games were held at Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.A. in 2002. Speaking of the U.S.A., the American national hockey team, after losing in the 2002 Games, isn’t expected by online casinos odds makers at the moment to hear the Star Spangled Banner being played at the 2006 medal ceremony for hockey.
"The American hockey program is at a bit of a crossroads", said one online casinos odds maker, Peter Childs. "After almost two decades of being represented by the greatest crop of players in US history, players like Hull, Roenick, Tkatchuk, Weight, Modano and Richter, there seems to be a gap between the old guard and a new guard that might still be a little too green for a competition of this magnitude." Not too many Americans who are interested in Olympic competition and were around 25 years ago can forget the moment when the United States national hockey team beat the team from the Soviet Union, then the best hockey team in the world. Apparently, online casinos, when it comes to American hockey, no longer believe in miracles.
Online casinos are getting more and more prepared for the upcoming games in Turin, and online casinos will be offering up to date odds on their websites for those games as well as the Summer Olympic Games to be held two years later in Beijing, China. Be sure to check out online casinos from all sorts of countries to see how your national teams are favored! |
