Will there be bets for Tour Romandie??

Bet365 is out now, the rest have propably been waiting for them so will propably come out soon

 

[iZnoGouD]

oh thks god, let's if there's something good
have you seen anything?

 

[gizzajob]

I had a bet on Talansky at 15/1 (less now) for outright at Bet365. There is also a book at sportingbet now.

For Prologue, it's hard to see past Froome, but do you think any outsiders/climbers have a chance such as:
Gesink, Hesjedal or even your man Machado, all at 33/1 ?

 

[Ferminal]

Grr no Paddy today, wanted some stupid prologue odds.

 

[manafana]

yeah very few covering romandie, thought skybet would pitch in with some odds since its live on skysports, no odds on turkey either its all bit of let down.

Valverde to go stage hunting here, spilak is big price

 

[gizzajob]

skybet and stanjames have odds for romandie now

Froome now 2/1 in places for prologue (same as T Martin !)

Does Martin really have that good a chance for the prologue?

I do have money on him there is certainly value but i was too hoping Paddy would have bets
I have him EW, i think only Froome can beat him really

 

[Leadbelly]

PP prices are finally up, better late than never I guess, but not much of interest in way of prices.

 

[Ferminal]

Yeh, pretty bland.

I shall be taking 365 to the cleaners with max on DLG for the stage and overall

 

[iZnoGouD]

Sadly i can't bet now

How much is Machado at? He is a good bet for prologue, no joke, see his cq he almost won a prologue some time ago, was 2nd he has very good chance today and good odds on bet365

 

[l.Harm]

How much did you put on Pirazzi? I like this bet.

You should put some on Fabio Duarte as well. If you got a little small change to spare.

 

[Ferminal]

Umm

Points
Wiggins @ 11 EW
Scarponi @ 21

Top3
Scarponi @ 10 (Paddy, only around 8 @ Betfair)

Top10
Evans @ 2.20
Siutsou @ 30
Pirazzi @ 30 (gogogo 10min break)

Thinking Delfino for KoM? Can't be bothered counting up the climbs though.

Usual points system isn't it? Rule book hasn't been updated from last year yet.

Stelvio: 21 15 9 5 3 2 1
1: 15 9 5 3 2 1
2: 9 5 3 2 1
3: 5 3 2 1
4: 3 2 1

Looks to me as though it's impossible for a GC rider to win unless they are completely dominant winning 3 MTFs and Stelvio.

 

[Leadbelly]

How much did you put on Pirazzi? I like this bet.

Not that I drink really any more, but all my betting stakes are what I call beer money (and since the price of alcohol has been going up, it's more like half a pint of beer money ).

I actually wouldn't mind losing this bet though. I'd prefer to see the mad Pirazzi attacks and maybe a stage win or two, maybe even KotM, than watching him trying to hang on the Astana/Sky trains just to fight for a boring top ten.

Giro

I made ew bet for Betancur 251 2 weeks ago

 

[Leadbelly]

PP have prices up for the TTT on Sunday already.

Movistar 176ew

Very surprised at such a big price.

I wish you well with all your bets.

Pirazzi has promised to ride more conservative. However, lets see if he actually keeps that promise.

 

[gizzajob]

PaddyPower seem to be investing some effort in getting markets up this year.

They already have Stage 2 markets up, with big vaue bet at Astana at 100-1. Kessiakof, Gruzdev, Nibbles etc, surely better than 100-1 implies.

Shame they only let me bet 1 euro now !

 

[manafana]

gizza just get on your mates setup.

 

[gizzajob]

ha ha, no problem manfana, always taken care of

down to 22-1 now

 

[Ferminal]

Hope you got Astana too

I fear for my account if Movistar win though.

 

[MADRAZO]

Some sick odds indeed with PP for stage 2

Also 4/1 for Garmin seems very high and Lampre at same odds as Columbia is just absurd
