+EV for the Tour de France
If I could get down on some European bookmakers (most US books only have Outright winner of the Tour, euro books have lots of exotics) these would be my picks.
- 1 v 1 Matchup (OVERALL) Robert Gesink (-133) vs Jurgen Van Den Broeck
- Top 10 Finish (OVERALL) Ryder Hesjedal (+250)
- King of the Mountain Andy Schleck (+400)
- Number of Stage Wins: Alessandro Petacchi Over 0.5 (+130)
- Number of Stage Wins: Sebastien Chavanel Over 0.5 (+1900)
And if you’re interested…
a few bookmakers currently have Mark Cavendish on the board for winning the yellow.
Current odds: 10,000/1
Current live odds for today’s stage. Contador’s just went up 0.05. I don’t see how he’s anything but a lock. I don’t think he’ll be giving this stage away today.
Odds for Milan-San Remo
Honestly a lot of value here if you factor in the decent change of rain/cold. Everyone knows I’m a huge Cav fanboy but he isn’t a mudder. I’m really sad there aren’t any US books I can get money down on. I would put down on Haussler (8½/1), Gilbert(9/1) and Cunego (50/1)
Current odds for winner of Paris-Roubaix.
Odds for Hincape’s mechanical… -1000. jokes, jokes.
Bartender at Barrel 44 asked me…
“How much do you have on this game?”
Me> Enough for my tab and enough for you not to want to know…
The only good thing about the MNF game was that my player props were huge and my line bet was small. Glad I got my over before Sanchez imploded.
No way Jose. That would be the game though, otherside. Boston doesn’t even make it close. They cover by 12.5 over the line. And ‘cuse covered 17 too which means I’ve super robusto now.
In the past year I’ve gambled on just about every outcome of a sporting event (and related events) possible. NFL, NHL, NBA, College baskets, College hockey, WNBA, Russian Hockey, Tennis, German Volleyball, Cricket, coin flip of the superbowl (lost), number of windmills Pete Townshend would do during Baba O’Riley at the superbowl halftime (won)…etc
Just when I thought I had seen and done it all.. I found: The Grand Salami. Basically you’re betting on the total scores of ALL NHL games for an evening. So obvs I had to put some down.
