Vancouver Olympics 2010 Betting

The Olympics are under way in the beautiful Canadian City of Vancouver, the opening ceremonies were a dud, suffering a mechanical malfunction leaving Nash, Doan, Orr and The Great One Wayne Gretzky left hanging waiting for something to light.  An unfortunate accident led to the death of a young Georgian luger and of course, the warm weather is causing havoc, forcing organizers to delay events. After it’s all said and done, The Vancouver 2010 games could be known as the Bad Luck Games but if you are feeling lucky check out some of these Olympic Betting Odds from BetUS.com
