Just because most Olympic athletes will walk away empty-handed at the Salt Lake City games this month doesn't mean you have to. Here are three bets that could have you winning gold.*

Locks
Sports Interaction : When it comes to David vs. Goliath in the Olympics, bet on Goliath. Germany is a good bet to win the most gold medals at an attractive 2.50, with the US sporting a plausible 7.00.

Upsets
InterTops : Miracles happen. On men's hockey, Austria are 1001.0 to win gold. If you're looking for something more plausible, try the Czech Republic. The defending champs are listed at a generous 3.5.

The Obscure
TheGreek.com: Just because you don't watch it or know or care what it is doesn't mean you can't make a wager. You can lay cash on Biathlon, Bobsleigh, Ice Dancing, Luge, and Curling among the many fringe-favorites. Enough said.
