[Parrulo]

i haven't made any vs bets yet. will do later today

but i have done the wining bets ealier this week. found a betting site who was giving 1:2.50 for canc and 1:7 for boonen so i made a bet on both. doesn't matter who of those 2 wins i win either way (yes i did the math)

 

[Damiano]

So far, i've got Pozzato over Sagan @ 1,65 and O'Grady over Hammond @ 1,80

Betfair have added Boonen and Cancellara nu.

 

[Ferminal]

Cancellara > Gilbert * Cancellara > Boonen * Roelandts > Sieberg * Goss > EBH @ 3.37
G. E. Larsson > Stannard @ 1.71
Langeveld > Boom @ 2.10
Leukemans > Nuyens @ 2.35
Leukemans > GvA @ 1.65
Vaitkus > Hayman @ 1.76

I have a $100 free bet on Cancellara @ 4.50. I'm not even going to cover it with others as I'm supremely confident in Spartacus.

And

Top3:

Goss @ 17
Farrar @ 19

goss 17 for top 3 ?
not bad, tho i don't really rate him on this terrain. Farrar @ 19 is really nice.

I don't think either will get it, but it's very good odds for the two best bunch sprinters in the race (sorry Cav), given that you often get groups coming in fighting for the high placings.

Goss has been sick so I wouldn't be surprised if he bombs completely.

 

[Ferminal]

Bet365 has live odds up already, they always seem to put some "new" markets up for live betting.

Haussler over Sagan @ 1.38

Seems like a no brainer to me, not even sure Sagan will finish top30.

 

[Squire]

Ronde Van Vlaanderen

Gilbert podium finish @ 3.50
Pozzato over Ballan @ 2.10
Pozzato over Haussler @ 2.20

Doh.

Pais Vasco, overall
Martin over Klöden @ 2.25
Rodriguez over Cunego @ 1.80
Horner over Leipheimer @ 1.83

Stage 1
Albasini over Hesjedal @ 2.80
Intxausti over Basso @ 2.60

 

[Squire]

Pais Vasco, overall - pending
Martin over Klöden @ 2.25
Rodriguez over Cunego @ 1.80
Horner over Leipheimer @ 1.83

Stage 1
Albasini over Hesjedal @ 2.80
Intxausti over Basso @ 2.60

Apart from Martin vs Klöden, overall bets are looking good. Took Sanchez over Rodriguez live today when they were together after the last climb. Bad idea. Confident of better luck tomorrow. I like this one:

Pais Vasco Stage 2
Vinokourov over Kolobnev @ 1.85

Longer, less punchy climb tomorrow. Vino is reportedly in good shape, while Kolobnev is surely behind Purito & Di Luca in the Katusha pecking order.

 

[Damiano]

Pais Vasco Stage 2
Vinokourov over Kolobnev @ 1.85

Where? 10characters

 

[Squire]

Where? 10characters

Uhm, Centrebet, but I see now that it has been slashed pretty dramatically. Anyway, Pinnacle have a pretty similar one in LLS over Kolobnev @ 1.70 or thereabouts.

Edit: Oh, and before anyone asks, it happened before I posted here.

Also want to add that I put in a tiny bet on Van Hummel E/W-1/4 @ 81 for Scheldeprijs. Just so I can have bragging rights when the biggest bombshell of the season hits

 

[Ferminal]

Duarte over Peraud @ 1.71
Di Luca over Uran @ 2.10 (Centrebet)
Gesink over Big Schleck x Poels over JVdB @ 2.25

 

[Connor Pass]

Took Samu at 5.0 to win the stage

and

Hesjedal over Cunego at 2.29 - seems to have been money for Cunego earlier as the price on Hesjedal kept getting bigger!

 

[Squire]

Pais Vasco Stage 2
Vinokourov over Kolobnev @ 1.85

Pretty clear win, even though the group that arrived was bigger than I expected.

Pais Vasco, stage 3
Kolobnev over L.Sanchez @ 2.20
Freire @ 17

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Pais Vasco, stage 3
Kolobnev over L.Sanchez @ 2.20
Freire @ 17

What.. Freire at 17?

 

[Ferminal]

I don't think he will win, but 17 is nice odds!

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I don't think he will win, but 17 is nice odds!

It sure is. Considering that bet365 offers odds 3.5 on Freire to win today, odds 17 is very nice.

 

[Moncoutie]

Saw the odds at 365, but where the fvck is he 17?! I've done Kloden 19's.

 

[Ferminal]

I backed 7 possible winners, from Sammy @ 7 to Martin @ 81.

Worried about Gavazzi, but if he isn't up to it then it's a lottery.

 

[Moncoutie]

Done Hutarovich at Scheldepreis 34. Done an e/w double with him & Kloden.

 

[Squire]

I actually got Freire @ 17 at Bet365, just after the odds were released. Now I'm just hoping that the quality breakaway will be brought back.

In addition the Kolobnev bet, I also backed L.Sanchez over Kolobnev at 2.36, so I'm guaranteed a profit of around 10% regardless of who's first. That covers my Freire bet.

 

[Ferminal]

Knew the odds would come in during the race... Should have waited.

I can't see Fischer finishing in the main group.

Freire over Fischer @ 1.40

Small risk Oscar will fail badly uphill too.

 

[Squire]

Pais Vasco, stage 3
Freire @ 17

Annoying 2nd place. Made even more annoying by the fact that I considered backing Vino as well, along with Kolobnev. Ended up taking only Freire though.

Freire loss was made up by the Kolobnev/LLSanchez h2h sure win. Which means my balance is exactly where it started this morning.

Arrate tomorrow, should be interesting.

 

[Ferminal]

Vino FTW. Always a good chance on a profile like that where he can get away on a few km of flat.

That Freire H2H was free money. Thanks to the forum for talking up Fischer so Bet365 thought he was a chance.

93. [BRA] FISCHER Murilo Antonio GRM 07'05"

Good day soured a bit by Weylandt's fall.

Pais Vasco, stage 4

Klöden over Gesink @ 1.71
