Coz I thought Liquigas' present at the front of the Peloton after that cat 1 climb the other day indicated Bennati was good.

Anyway I'm going in-play. Definite sprint finish.

$300 Cavendish @ $1.75
$10 Goss @ $25

 

[Ferminal]

A few interesting matchups which I'm just not sure about.

Nibali over Mosquera @ 2.45
Nibali over Schleck @ 1.65
Uran over Sastre @ 1.55
Uran over Schleck @ 1.87
TJVG over Le Mevel @ 1.67

Nibali is definitely juicy odds given that he seems to have the advantage at these gradients. Plus I just expect nothing from Frank Schleck.

[Sasquatch]

[Sasquatch]

meh all the odds are pretty low.
spurs are paying roughly $2.50 which is pretty nice. I went safe in one multi (all the favorites) and another i bet against arsenal (bolton @10) man utd and spurs.

Yeah? What was that multi? I might do the same thing.

 

[Sasquatch]

Oh, I forgot to post these I took at Unibet for Paris-Bruxelles.

$50 Visconti @ $6
$50 Devolder @ $9
$20 Boom @ $28

+$69

Ever since the Tour de France I've been up and down like a yo-yo and really haven't improved much.

 

[Ferminal]

Uran over Nieve @ 1.71

Uran struggled yesterday but as far as I know hasn't finished behind Nieve yet.

 

[Sasquatch]

I was looking at that one. But hesitant with how well Nieve has been climbing and Euskaltel with no leader, he won't need to work for Anton meaning he could be fresh at the finish.

 

[Sasquatch]

$400 Mosquera over Schleck @ $1.52
$200 Rodriguez over Schleck @ $1.72
$100 Mosquera to win @ $5

 

[The Sheep]

Roche over Danielson @ 1.5
Mosquera over Nibali @ 1.75

 

[Ferminal]

The Mosquera over Schleck is a good one, thanks.

 

[Badeend]

$200 Rodriguez over Schleck @ $1.72

Also took this one and Rodriguez to take the red jersey at 2.40 (betfair)

 

[Sasquatch]

Bad luck on Rodriguez getting the red jersey. I think he saved his energy for stage 16. That's the stage he'll take red in I would think. Also Mosquera should do well again there.

+$252 for the stage.

I think fading Schleck again tomorrow is a good thing to go. Fading Tondo might be the other good thing to do.

 

[Sasquatch]

Stage 16

I'm up a lot so will up the stakes.

$500 Rodriguez over Sastre @ $1.45
$300 Mosquera over Nibali @ $1.60
$200 Rodriguez over Nibali @ $1.80

 

[Ferminal]

Nice bets, I was struggling to find the courage to back against Nibali.

I was a bit concerned about Sastre when he was ahead, would have been awful if that one went down just because the main guys didn't want to race it.

Cheers.

I was worried too. I totally dismissed the fact that Sastre performs better in a third week even though this is his third grand tour this year.

Thankfully Sastre didn't have the legs. If he had the legs to match Frank, it would have lost.

I won't be fading Sastre on Saturday. I might avoid his bets.

 

[Sasquatch]

On another note I'm seriously looking at a classification bet. More info if I take it later on.

 

[Badeend]

I took Nibali to win the Vuelta @1.60 Betfair, and some on 1.56.

Tomorrow Rodriguez will get a spanking, i expect him to lose about 3 minutes. On Saturday we have a very hard last climb wich should fit Rodriguez better but even in worst conditions Nibali should not lose more then a minute.

 

[Sasquatch]

I've got on these early and they are already moving in.

$500 Larsson over Menchov @ $1.45 (Sportingbet)
$400 Millar over Ignatiev @ $1.85 (Bet24)
$200 Millar over Zabriskie @ $1.85 (Sportingbet)

$200 Millar top 3 @ $2.50 (Sportingbet)

Good luck.

Thx.
Shouldnt we try Terpstra over Thomas @2.24 Pinnacle, it's a banker

I know. I was looking at it too.

Then the harsh reality that the bet will be voided struck me hard

There's another Thomas bet at bet365.

hahaha you would think they would get the market right.
