The Cycling Betting Thread

[larryduff]

I have Velits each way at 100/1 tomorrow and Velits to beat Uran at evens.

 

[Museeuw]

Now, I think that Lay Fränk S. @15 is excellent bet.

Back Alberto @5,9 is not bad at all.

 

[Ferminal]

Wow Timmy, your epic multi got wrecked by Evans?

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

@ferminal
it did. man.. would have been basically the same odds if i picked him also.
ahwell

---

anyway vuelta time:

I had
Geniez to top 10 @21
which is more or less over

---

today I have:
cobo @34
kruijswijk @51
mollema @41
jrod @4.50 (this covers my bet costs if he wins)
slagter @301
zaugg @201
martinez @301

anton > jrod
kruijswijk > machado
wiggo > roche
seeldrayers > bruseghin
frank > monfort
nibbles > scarponi
cobo > braj
vdb > martin
@200

 

[Tuarts]

Good multi, first one most likely lost it for you.

 

[Ferminal]

I have a $50 free bet on TGBM for best U25, 4.50.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

so far he is looking good man. nice.

had a multi today.. syd, wce, saints and qpr (EPL).. stupid qpr.. could have been rich

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

had multi:

Newcastle win
man city win
mollema > nibbles
kruijswijk > braj
cobo > brus
@45

 

[Ferminal]

I will take you on Timmy

Talansky > Phinney
LLS > Karpets
Menchov > Nibali
JVdB > Zubeldia
Brajkovic > Nibali
Monfort > Bruseghin
Konovalovas > Lang
Barce v Villarreal >2.5 goals
Wests v GC >42.5 pts

@70.55

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

tonight i assume?

im liking your cycling bets.

Monfort > Bruseghin
LLS > Karpets
JVdB > Zubeldia

Could go either way imo.

I'll also be totally honest, I haven't a clue what wests v gs refers to

 

[Ferminal]

I'll also be totally honest, I haven't a clue what wests v gs refers to

NRL Don't follow it really but Wests usually score well.

Probably most worried about LLS and Karpets. Very hard to win cycling multis if you have more than 2 or 3 legs, though I guess the best time to try it is TTs. They are all favourites except Monfort.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

yeh, I was pretty nervous yesterday when nibbles was up the road and that was the only leg (v mollema) in danger. Got lucky I guess.

I also had mollema @29, so it could have been an even better night

i'll put one on tonight too probably, when i get home from work that is.

 

[Badeend]

I will go for Phinney over Klöden for today, 1.56 at Pinnacle.

 

[Ferminal]

I will take you on Timmy

Talansky > Phinney
LLS > Karpets
Menchov > Nibali
JVdB > Zubeldia
Brajkovic > Nibali
Monfort > Bruseghin
Konovalovas > Lang
Barce v Villarreal >2.5 goals
Wests v GC >42.5 pts

@70.55

JVdB > Zubeldia
Talansky > Phinney

These two lost. Thanks whoever said Phinney is struggling with his knees JVdB not going well is hardly a surprise though.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Yeah I did a similar bet . Jumped on saw talansky had lost and that was that.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

@72.86

Go Wigans

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

i was tempted with wiggo too, but i found that too unpredictable with nibbles and menchov.

 

[manafana]

Zubeldia 180 to win stage today trade out at 60

 

[Ferminal]

Wiggins > Nibali
Wiggins > Menchov
Roche > lagutin
Kessiakoff > Froome
Rodriguez > Scarpony
Machado > Sastre
Braj > Brus

@72.86

Go Wigans

5/7, would have preferred not to lose because of Lagutin and Sastre.

 

[Ferminal]

Some random throw a dollar at long odds bets:

Dumoulin @ 251
Clarke @ 801
Uran @ 801
Kocjan @ 801

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Cool, had 16€ on Cavendish at odds 16!

 

[The Hitch]

Totaly ignorant on betting, never done it in my life.

So if you put money on someone "eitherway" how much money do you get if they come say 3rd?

Each-ways bets can have different fractions (1⁄2, 1⁄3, 1⁄4 or 1⁄5).
But normally on cycling it's 1/4. So if you say Haussler will win tomorrow at the 16 and he finishes 3rd, you won a bet at odds 4 (1/4 of 16).

Just transferred €100 from betfair to sportingbet, dont want to waste to much money on cycling cause its tricky stuff!

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

I actually find cycling to be a gold way to bet. While unpredictable the bookie's ignorance is genrally on show and some of the more 'likely' results can have good odds.

I put a bit money on ebh @ 10 yesterday for the tdu. decent odds imo.

also got r. feillu @ 101.
lls @ 17
