The Cycling Betting Thread

[Badeend]

I guess not so many guys are intersted in betting... I like your tips though, keep posting them. I will try to post some when I will have much time.(i have exams now)
You can also find some discussion on who will win in the TDU stages threads.
For today I just put 10 $ on Ulissi at 6.5! Verona should beat Jensen today too.

Betting on cycling is a very small market, yesterday Pinnacle didnt even bother to release odds. So yes, i understand there is not much interest. Although during the TdF it was quit busy here, but youcant compare TDU to Tdf of course ... TDU has much nicer podiumgirls

Discussing cycling related to odds is different then just wondering who will win. I do get info out of those topics about the conditions, climbs etc, very usefull! I dont know any other site where you can read that much about 1 single stage, day after day. So thanks to those posting gradients of climbs etc in those topics

Any guesses when Giro odds will be released?

At least we probably have to wait until Quintana is confirmed to start or not

 

[The Hitch]

Last 2 years the Giro odds weren't released until May (never checked before then).

Last year from December to May the only Giro odds i could find was 1 bet on 1 site that asked - how many stages will Basso win, more than 1.5 or less than 1.5

 

[Poursuivant]

You can get odds on PLanch de Belle Filles Stage 10 already in TDF!

Earlier it has been like that, but I recall that last year Bet365 put the Giro winnergame out sometime in march around Paris-Nice I think, and most others were also out before may.

My guess is that the odds this year will be out not so long after Quintanas decision is final, sinne otherwice all the important starters seems confirmed, but that it is quiet unlikely anyone will be out before that decision.

Some people take it very seriously but the problem is most oddsmakers read this forum so best not to over educate them.

Bet365 has released a Giro D'Italia winnergame now, most likely others will follow soon.

Giro d'Italia 2014 Winner

Quintana, N 6/4
Porte, R 10/3
Rodriguez, Joaquin 9/2
Horner, C 9/1
Evans, C 13/1
Uran, R 17/1
Basso, I 33
Scarponi, M 33
Majka, R 50
Pinot, T 50
Pozzovivo, D 50
Moreno Fernández, D 66
Martin, D 80
125/1 bar

1/4 1,2,3 with Bet 365. 888.com are win only

How many can realistically potentially challenge for a podium here?

 

[ItalianGigolo]

5, maximum 7 in my opinion(Quintana,Uran,Evans,Porte,Purito and maybe Basso and Horner)

Will Pinot participate?

 

[the sceptic]

Looks like Quintana is getting a bit overrated there. Porte is the favourite imo.

Basso is the best dark horse bet. I think he has a decent shot at making the podium at least.

 

[SlimChance]

Thanks for both replies.

Also Tour of Dubai is priced up

Martin, T 6/4
Phinney, T 7/4
Malori, A 7
Sagan, P 8
Cancellara, F 9
Cavendish, M 20
Castroviejo Nicolas, J 40

Giro odds are out now

 

[SlimChance]

Tour of Qatar odds out. Should Aidis Kruopis really be 200/1?

 

[karlboss]

Was looking through Giro odds, Horner at 33 with Paddy power. They seem to have set their odds at Quintana will win...but he might crash.

You've got to consider wether they have correctly factored this in to know if he is a bet or not. You should also consider betting e/w. Do you think Homer has a better than 11% chance of making the podium? Is so play e/w

 

[Gloin22]

Betting in cycling for GT winner is the most useless thing ever.. waiting 3 weeks for usually small payout. Better to invest that money through 3 weeks.

Even doing head to heads in GT is risky with crashes, ilnesss etc.

 

[SlimChance]

You could not be more incorrect.

 

[Ferminal]

Yeh Horner was a real waste.

Wow that is some crazy odds they have there. Valverde huge value too, and Kittel in the winnergame wtf.

Im so envious at those users here able to play with crazy bookies like skybet, Paddypower and Betvictor.

ll sanchez is still over 2/1 with bet365 and pinnacle to beat Rebellin,

also dumoulin to beat mollema in prologue is still 3/5

LL Sanchez had a stomach bug at the end of last week, so its a big question mark how he will ride

 

[MADRAZO]

Personaly I took Rebellin over LLS with Pinnacle around odds 2

Thinking the climbs will be too hard for LLS, and Rebellin did quiet well here last season

Not sure about Dumoulin either on the very tecnical course. Last season Mollema beat him here in the proloque, but might be a little value

 

[postmanhat]

First cycling bet of the bet of the season and it's a fanboy one

Omloop - Stannard v Devenyns at Bet365. Can't remember what the odds were. Not brilliant, so have put it in an acca with a couple of English football bets (Luton and Wolves).

Stannard's shown a bit of form already, and there should be rain!
