good work this tourny Coutts.

Took Quebec +225 today. Just think the number is too high.

fyi - just noticed Pinny has lines up for today's festivities.

i think quebec is worth a look at a generous +225--menard has been very solid

 

[Labeeb]

Is there any online scoreboard for the Briar?

Pinny put them up and I took your Quebec play.

Any thoughts on this morning's semifinal between Quebec and Nova Scotia?

 

[HPark1]

Tough break for Quebec last night when Menard's first stone in the 5th picked which led to Ontario scoring two. It was looking promising for Quebec in that end until that shot. Not saying Quebec would've won but it could've been very close down the stretch.


Tough one to call this afternoon imo. I'd give Quebec a slight edge since they are playing with last rock. Dacey has peaked at the right time but Menard is still playing strong. Not much between the teams.

 

[coutts99]

i am passing on today's game--too close to call but a slight lean to dacey

 

[Labeeb]

Even with Ontario having the hammer, does Quebec warrant a play again at +270?

 

[HPark1]

Its Quebec or nothing. However Quebec looked awful yesterday (especially Menard) and Ontario has been rock steady the entire week. They deserve to win but I still say the price is a shade too high.

On a side note shame on Oly for not bringing out lines for the Women's worlds. Shame. lol.
