Nice fixture :D

There, added the results of the 10 previous years for your viewing pleasure.

thanks

ice hockey? uh?

CANADA
WUT

Very nice fixture but I have no damn money for this :(

I havent got the channel to watch the games, but are the NFL-stars part of the games ?

No, but I think the NBA-stars are?!

yes, but not very many of them, WC is not at all like this year's olympics.

Yes. The NHL stars that aren't playing in the NHL playoffs are in it..

this is HOCKEY, aka, NHL.

Oh no, this suxaging sport even here :( hmm.. doesn't matter, I bet on CZ anyway :)

Hurrah, If Canada, Sweden, or the Czechs win (this is pretty much for sure that one of the three will), I win money :)

Finland are sharp

canada sux ass
cows on skates

:o

/me runs from lsv and menace.

Finlands turn to win :)

BELGIUM!!

CANADA IS THE GREATEST
EVER





























EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually that would be USSR/Russia, since they've won the championships the most number of times by far.

Yes, but not during the last 10 yrs.. Russia used to be good, they still are.. But not as good as before thought.

when all of the best players play (NHL players too), canada is the best. however, i doubt they will win this.

Canada has too many of their top players in the playoffs right now, whereas teams such as czech may have all of their best. (i don't really know about that though)

Actually most of the good players from czech, sweden, finland etc, also plays in the NHL. Even if all teams have their NHL-stars, czech is considered to be the best, followed by Sweden and Canada. But check the period 1960 to 1990 and you'll see USSR has won 18 out of 25 championships, they were the superior hockey nation in the world.

Czech fielding a crap team this year, which is why they are now out.

Slovakia is a surprise though...

I put money on Finland, Russia, or Sweden...they have the best teams by far :)

But only once in the last decade, which shows they seem to be losing it...

In fact, Russia has but 1 medal (G/S/B) altogether in the last decade.

Czech Republik rullez
whoooooooooo!!!! =))

Kinda thought all the best players from around the world played in the NHL anyway? So its a bit silly to have a world championship now. Time for a change so i think USA will win, would have liked to put a bet on that :(

ARGGGGHH fu*k*in bullshit :((

Oh you lost 5000 $X on cze, I feel sorry for you =\

You can tell people are just betting on this based off history and not the actual teams. I doubt many of these bets were made with any bit of real logic actually. Czech was given huge odds to win, but the team they fielded this year was extremely weak compared to the others (hence why they got eliminated early).

Sweden was given the shaft in the odds even though they have the strongest team playing by far. Finland is also another huge team. Russia did very well in the Olympics this year and their coach is pretty good, so they probably will do well too. Win? Well, enough to maybe put some cash on for sure.

Sucks for all those who didn't research the team and just followed the pack in putting money on Czech ;)

D:

I lost 789 X$ on Canada!!

FKFKFKFKFKFK!!!!!!!!

Oh well, our best player was Ryan Smith... and he isn't THAT great...

lol...slovakia won?

Fixture: (Win, cashed) Ice Hockey: World Championships - Germany or Slovakia

14:09, 7 May 2002 Julian Groell 1000 2.1% Win 46166
10:34, 6 May 2002 Dan 1000 1.8% Win 53883

These guys should be hired as NHL drafters or something!

Nah, we just need to shoot the person who made this fixture :)

Slovakia and Germany should have had their own odds, and Slovakia rated higher than a team like the Czech Republic). Finland and Sweden should have gotten 65% between the two of them, with Russia and Canada around 15%. Then Slovakia and USA, finishing with Germany.

Unfortunately that's a major setback in the fixture system, the creator really needs to know what the true odds are. I pulled in $30k for a fixture that had K9 set with high odds even though there was a very slim chance they would actually win against FiTH. Slovakia had a better team than probably USA and Canada even, possibly Russia this time around. Sweden and Finland were the favorites. You can' t really go based on past history just because the NHL has such a huge impact on who would win, as does the actual roster.

Anyway, I kinda think these bets with 5+ options are silly anyway because of the huge payloads, but maybe it's just me :)

aFRICKENgreed.

Well, the odds on them was very low due to hardly anyone betting on them.
