Subject: Olympic Bets
I'm taking winter 2006 Olympic bets. Cost nothing to enter since if you win, you will get the same - nothing. (except bragging rights)

What to bet on:

A. Pick the top 3 countries with the most total medals: (If tie for total medals, then most gold out of the tied will be placed ahead of the other)
1.
2.
3.

B. Pick which country will have the most gold medals:
1.

C. Pick one country which will only get 1 medal:
1.

Anyone else have any other "easy" thing that people can place their picks on. To help out, here is the medal count for the 2002 Salt Lake Winter Olympics:

[gold medal - silver - bronze - total]

Germany 12 16 8 36
United States 10 13 11 34
Norway 13 5 7 25
Canada 7 3 7 17
Austria 3 4 10 17
Russia 5 4 4 13
Italy 4 4 5 13
Switzerland 3 2 6 11
France 4 5 2 11
Netherlands 3 5 0 8
China 2 2 4 8
Sweden 0 2 5 7
Finland 4 2 1 7
Croatia 3 1 0 4
South Korea 2 2 0 4
Bulgaria 0 1 2 3
Czech Republic 1 2 0 3
Estonia 1 1 1 3
Poland 0 1 1 2
Australia 2 0 0 2
Japan 0 1 1 2
Great Britain 1 0 1 2
Slovenia 0 0 1 1
Belarus 0 0 1 1

As you can see, 2 countries got just 1 medal in 2004. USA at "home" got almost 3 times more medals then ever before, so will be interesting if the USA can keep that up in an Olympic they historicly do not do good at.
