[Squire]

I'm wondering why Bruseghin is 3.00 to beat Mørkøv and Kiryienka 2.50 to beat Scarponi? I haven't taken those two, but can anyone tell me why I shouldn't?

Brusegin always stinks until the giro starts. Morkov is decent and motivated.

Kiryienka could have some value.

 

[Ferminal]

I've gone with Kiryienka.

Tirreno Stage 7 Time Trial

Basso over Gesink @ 2.25 LOST
Zabriskie over Larsson @ 1.83 LOST
Cancellara @ 1.57 WON

Pending overall bets
Basso top 3 @ 5 LOST
Garzelli over Lövkvist @ 1.714 LOST
Garzelli over Nocentini @ 1.66 WON

Was due a bad day. Glad I didn't go with the two other h2hs I was contemplating. Bad luck on Kiryienka, Ferminal. 3 seconds difference.

 

[Ferminal]

Woah

Haussler @ 8
Goss @ 18

Tour de France GC (without Contador)

Robert Gesink @ 21 at Sportingbet

 

[Damiano]

Petacchi - Bennati, 2 @ 2,45 at unibet.

 

[true legend]

I'm on Feillu over Hutarovich 1,72
I also got Bennati over Petacchi

 

[gizzajob]

In the end I went on hushovd ftw @ 9 and McEwan for podium @ 21 (he seemed very focussed on it in his tweet this week)

 

[Ferminal]

Got a few H2Hs... mainly fading Farrar and backing Ventoso.

 

[Squire]

What a day!

Didn't have time to post bets before the race unfortunately. But it couldn't have gone better.

Goss for the win @ 17 - WIN
Feillu over Haedo @ 2.35 - WIN

LIVE:
Cancellara over Ballan @ 1.72 - WIN
Rojas over Hagen @ 1.73 - WIN

That's a profit of 158,8%.

Took Rojas when Hagen was clearly struggling at the back of the group. Goss' win didn't happen the way I anticipated, but that doesn't matter one bit. Very entertaining race, too.

Well done Squire, great picks!

 

[Squire]

Well done Squire, great picks!

Thanks!

Rainy, action-packed days are great for live-betting. If I had paid better attention to who was where today, I would have had even more success.

Anyone know if we get Catalunya odds?

 

[Connor Pass]

Anyone know if we get Catalunya odds?

Paddy Power have odds up.

Taken a small e/w bet on Anton but hard to know if he'll be at 100%.

8/11 Contador is hard to argue with given the profile

Nice work... I had a ripper day too, 5/6 H2Hs.

And I hope more people got on Goss before the race, as those odds were silly.

Bet365 out now also, Contador is at 7/5. Dont think the profile is so much in his favour though so as the stage 3 climb isn't that steep

Volta a Catalunya

Overall
Tondo over Basso @ 3.00
Roche over Gerdemann @ 2.10
Contador @ 2.50
Menchov E/W @ 51
Tondo @ 17

Stage 1
Gerdemann over J.Moreno @ 2.20

Same stakes on all except Menchov which is 1/2 of the others and Tondo for the win is 1/4.

 

[Ferminal]

Tondo over Basso 2.75
Siutsou over Gerdemann 1.83
Uran over Di Luca 2.60
Tondo Win 17

Stage 1

Scarponi over Contador 2.10

It's pretty frustrating because Bet365 are clearly the best for cycling but unfortunately they don't lay me any bets...

At least I can wait for Pinnacle to just copy their Match Bets as they always do.

Gone with Nieve over Chris Anker at 1.8 for the overall.

 

[Squire]

Stage 1
Gerdemann over J.Moreno @ 2.20 - WIN

Stage 2
Cardoso over Dean @ 2.15

Sorry for posting late.

Stage 2

Volta a Catalunya Stage 3

Mollema over Evans @ 3.25
Tondo over Basso @ 2.50
Uran over Di Luca @ 2.00
Leipheimer over Horner @ 1.60

 

[The Hitch]

I dont bet, and dont even know what those numbers mean, but Uran over Di Luca on current form seems like the more probable outcome.

 

[Ferminal]

Basso @ 10
Moncoutie @ 23
Leipheimer over CVV @ 1.73 (Sportingbet)
Roche over Gerdemann @ 1.85 (Sportingbet)
Anton over Moncoutie @ 1.85 (Sportingbet)
Atapuma over Valls @ 2.75

I'm not so sure of the Anton over Moncoutie, but took it because 1.85 was much better compared to anything elsewhere. You could even guarantee a win by taking Moncoutie at 2.35.

Also:

Teams Pursuit - Australia @ 1.73 (Sportsbet)

 

[Sasquatch]

I'm curious why you're opposing Anton? If he's got form, he will be hard to beat.

 

[Ferminal]

I'm not, it's just that I'm not supremely confident that he will be in top form. Mind you Moncoutie is also a hard one to pick after pulling out of P-N early (sore knee wasn't it?).
