    It is free points, but unfortunately the most you can wager, is to win 100 betpoints.

    Since when does a future on Bookmaker mean anything? They offer notoriously awful futures prices. True value on Bolt is in the -400 range.

    Nice. Too bad 100 point limit.

    The other ones were 250 points.

    Buried the Australian Gold total one, too bad most of you ignored the thread.

    Rght he has the world record in both but Bolt is better in the 200, I thought Michael Johnson's record could stand for a my lifetime because he broke it by so much (.4seconds). 5-6 years ago Bolt was not really even running the 100m but then he got so dominant in the 200m that he starting running both

    Bolt is money in the 200, because he can always make up for a bad start out of the blocks (the only thing that could have hurt his chances in the 100m). In the 200, Bolt is unbeatable.

    The price opened in the -150 range but that was before his performance in the 100m. Since then the price skyrocketed. I think the value here is with the field. If I can get +400, I'll be on it.

    I am talking field as in ANYONE BUT Bolt. The +500 bookmaker field includes a bunch of no names that have no chance.

    Bookmaker prices are always garbage on these types of events. Anything with 3+ options.

    Kinda leaning US women in the 4x100 relay -150.

    Might make a small play on either Richards-Ross or Fraser-Pryce in the womans 200m. They are +850/+650 respectively. I am not a fan of Allyson Felix.
