BM Winter Olympics 2022 - Beijing II Special
 

It is that time of (every other) year when the Olympics come around and we gamble on them. We still have over a month before this thing kicks off but want to gauge interest early.

Previous Winners

2008 Beijing - pauldrulez
2012 London - Stigma
2014 Sochi - srs9jps
2016 Rio - Funk Butter
2018 Pyeongchang - Stigma
2020 Tokyo - 3 Beers at HT

The rules are as follows:

• Bets only allowed on Olympic events.
• Each entrant will have 35 bets.
• Of your 35 bets you will have 20 Bronze bets which will be the normal 10pts, 10 Silver bets which will be 15pts and 5 Gold bets which will be worth 20pts per bet. Please indicate when placing a bet what value it is by putting a B, S or G next to it.
• The Ostapchuk Rule: If one of your bets is positively affected by a competitor getting a positive drug test, it must happen before the penultimate day of competition. This is to make sure everyone has a chance to counterbet.

In previous iterations of the competition, we've had each bettor name an event that everybody has to bet on and in Sochi we had a random event picked every day that everybody had to bet on. I'm happy to take suggestions on ways to spice up this comp.

Here's a good look at a calendar showing when events run and when medals are awarded: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_W...mpics#Calendar

Im not dissing the Canadians or the USA but due to covid cancellations over the earlier part of the season the NHL are not releasing players for these games

The North American sides will therefore be made up from the minor leagues . Still probably good enough to beat most other sides but beware the odds looking better than they actually are
