Anyone else betting on the ski cross finals this weekend? Sharing my picks!

[Rexopes]

Hey all, I know this thread is buzzing about the ski cross finals, but I couldn’t resist jumping in with my two cents. I’ve been digging into the stats and conditions for this weekend’s races, and I’m pretty stoked about a couple of bets I’ve lined up. First off, I’m eyeing Johanna Holzmann for the women’s event. She’s been carving up the courses this season, especially on technical tracks like we’re expecting Saturday. Her speed off the start is insane, and if she nails the first turn, I reckon she’s got a solid shot at the podium. Odds are looking decent too, around 3.5, which feels like good value for her form.
On the men’s side, I’m torn but leaning toward Jonas Lenherr. He’s had a few shaky runs lately, but when he’s on, his aggression through the jumps is unmatched. The forecast says light snow, which could suit his style if he keeps it tight. I’m thinking a small punt on him at 4.2 could pay off nicely. Anyone else been watching his races? Curious if I’m reading too much into his last outing.
I usually split my betting time between ski cross and hockey this time of year—NHL’s been wild lately—but these finals have me hooked. One thing I love about betting on winter sports is how quick the payouts can roll in once the race is done. Nothing worse than waiting ages to cash out after a win, right? Anyway, I’ll probably tweak my picks as we get closer and the lineups firm up. What’s everyone else feeling for the weekend? Got any hot tips from the slopes?

Yo, loving the ski cross hype in here, but I’ve gotta steer this ship into different waters for a sec. While you’re all carving up the slopes with your bets, my heart’s been racing over the high seas with the latest sailing regattas. I know, I know, it’s a bit of a detour from snow and ice, but hear me out—there’s some serious betting juice in the sailing world right now, and I’m buzzing to share what I’ve been cooking up.

I’ve been glued to the build-up for the next big regatta on the circuit, and I’m diving deep into the America’s Cup qualifiers coming up. The conditions they’re forecasting—steady winds around 15 knots, maybe a touch gusty—have me thinking about which teams could dominate. I’m seriously eyeing Team New Zealand for a strong showing. Their boat handling in choppy waters last month was unreal, and they’ve been tweaking their foils like mad scientists. The odds are sitting around 2.8 for them to take a race win in the series, and I’m feeling that’s a steal given their track record in similar conditions. Anyone else been watching their practice runs?

On the flip side, I’m also tossing a cheeky bet on Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli, the Italians. They’ve had moments of pure brilliance this season, especially when the wind picks up and their tactician starts playing chess out there. Last race, they pulled off a start that had me jumping out of my chair—nailed the line and left everyone eating their wake. At 4.5 for a podium finish, I’m thinking it’s worth a punt, especially if the breeze gets spicy. I’m curious if anyone’s got a read on their crew changes—heard they might’ve swapped a grinder, but I can’t find much chatter about it.

Betting on regattas is my jam because it’s such a wild mix of brains and chaos. One minute it’s all strategy and wind shifts, the next it’s a rogue wave flipping your whole plan upside down. Kinda like ski cross in that way, right? You’ve got those split-second moments that make or break it. I usually spread my bets across a couple of teams to hedge my excitement, but I’m itching to go big on this one. The payout’s not instant like a downhill race, but when you hit, it feels like crossing the finish line yourself.

I’m with you on hating the wait for cashouts—sailing bets can drag a bit if the races get postponed, which is the worst. Still, nothing beats the thrill of watching your pick tack perfectly and steal the lead. Anyone else dabbling in sailing bets, or am I the lone sailor in this thread? What’s the vibe for the ski cross finals—any last-minute picks you’re sweating over? I might throw a few bucks on Johanna after your shout—she sounds like a rocket!
