Anyone do some actual betting online WRT to Grand tours?

 

Wonder if there are odds on Adam Hansen starting both TDF and Vuelta this year.

 

Yes i do

Below are my bets for the Giro

 

Outright winner :

Ryder Hesjedal R10 @ 80/1 potential Winning R810

Steven Kruijswijk R10 @ 80/1 Potential Winning R810

 

Top 10 Finnisher:

Deigo Ulissi R15 @ 14/1 potential winning R225

Bob Jungles R15 @ 14/1 potential winning R225

Ryder Hesjedal R50 @ 7/10 potential winning R85

 

Total bet R100, total winning R225 thanks to Bob Jungle, but i cam close to a top 10 finish with Diego for a while and man oh man did that crash of Steven cost me dearly. not as much as it did him though.

Awesome to see Scott!! 

 

Do you use a betting site online? The ones I have looked at are pretty geared for soccer but not cycling. 

 

Steven's crash must have been killer, Bob had a stand out tour.

Use to use Paddypower but then they stopped taking bets from South Africans, Marshall sport is mostly football stuff , don't like bet365 either. I used sportbetting.co.za for the Giro as they had a greater variety of bets to play with. will do the same for all future cycling bets. Nice thing was i opened the account 2 hours before the start of the Giro and as a new account they match your opening deposit up to R1000. so for my R200 opening deposit plus winnings I stand on a balance of R525.

Recently I saw Cavendish winning the TdF at 2,500/1... Not bad when you consider that Leicester City won the Premier league at 5,000/1.

Thanks for the tips! - Link seems to go to a random site. :/

Translated into simple terms, any rider born after 01/01/1991 will qualify to ride in the young rider's competition.

 

As of today (02-June), the list on the website has the following riders showing as youngest riders - not all qualify. Click on the name to get their profile, that will show the birthday. Currently, Wilco Kelderman is the last qualifying rider on the list (below).
