Been digging into the odds for the upcoming figure skating season, and there’s a lot to unpack. The key with betting on this sport is understanding the skaters’ consistency—form can shift fast, especially early in the season. Take the Grand Prix series, for instance. Some favorites might be overvalued based on last year’s results, while others, like those coming off injuries, could be undervalued if they’re showing signs of recovery in practice clips or local comps.
I usually cross-check the lines with recent performances and coaching changes. Skaters switching to big-name coaches tend to get a bump in odds, but it doesn’t always pay off right away—adaptation takes time. Also, keep an eye on the technical scores from last season. A skater with a solid quad or high program component scores can be a safer pick if the bookies aren’t fully pricing it in.
For me, it’s about small, calculated bets early on—test the waters before the stakes get higher at Worlds. Anyone else been scouting the field? What’s your take on the current favorites?
