2012 London Summer Olympics ideas and leans thread.

[beefcake]

5 golds for Britain and 3 for the Russians!!!

[ramones951]

Ouch. I'm speechless right now.

Really sorry to everyone who tailed the Ryan Lochte 200 backstroke bet. I have no idea what is up with him this meet, but he just had a horrendous swim and placed 3rd.... I feel bad we all lost that one but I honestly have no idea what just went wrong here.

I'm totally in shock. Added over a second from his personal best time.

[Brent13081]

he lost the lead for the team on Sunday now is in the lead down the strech and doesnt even finish second?!?? WOW guy cant finish. he is not clutch --

[ramones951]

LOCHTE IS A OVER RATED CHOKER... Wow and to think they were comparing him to Phelps???? Damn Joke

Yes. He is completely flat this meet, on the biggest stage. Unreal

[Brent13081]

yea its gambling... You win some you lose some. And I understand why he was the favorite and should have been.. But just sucks when You hear the media and NBC acting like LOCHTE is the next great olypian.. He is good -- but definitely not GREAT

[TheMoneyTree]

Apparentlt reports are saying Ryan Lochte had an upset stomach, Not sure if it's 100% true or not.

that was a misquote...meant to say a lot of bettors have an upset stomach..
mine personally ok because I spaced on all swim events today
spaced cause Heritage has been so unreliable at having swim odds up on days of Finals.

[ramones951]

I may make a small to medium size play on Phelps in the 200 IM tomorrow to get some action. We're getting great odds (+310). Coming into the meet i thought this was his best chance to beat Lochte. Also, Lochte swims the 200 back final about 25 minutes before this race, so it will be a tough double for him.

This certainly helped after the Lochte 200 back!!!!!!

ramones951

You say you got Phelps @+310 to win 200 IM, before Olympics started. Where Pinnacle/5Dimes?
What odds did Phelps go off at post time today?

[ramones951]

+310 is what I got yesterday. Before the meet he was around +120

[alta]

+310 is what I got yesterday. Before the meet he was around +120

he was 2nd choice by the books at +310?

[goofyre]

I got him at +170 shortly after Lochte lost the 200 Backstroke. Was significantly higher before that event. Mad I didn't pull trigger 10 minutes sooner.

[ramones951]

he was 2nd choice by the books at +310?

Yeah its pretty ridiculous. Ive posted a few times how the books adjust the lines too much after the preliminary heats.

[convick]

Im guessing books adjust numbers based on the money coming in.

[Boscoe]

any value in fratus +600 for the 50m?

[MoneylineExpress]

love these plays

Mens 100KG Judo: Teddy Riner to win gold (-250) Guy is a beast. 69-2 record the last 3 years. He got bronze in Bejing as a 18 year old and now is the time for gold as a developed 22 year old

Mens 100IM Relay: US Men -325. Would be one of the biggest upsets if they didn't win. Adrian (freestlye), Grevers (backstroke), Phelps (butterfly) are all gold medal winners at their stroke assuming Phelps wins the butterfly tomorrow. Hansen finished with a respectable bronze in the breathstroke. This will be Phelps last event ever at the olympics. Leave it all on the line.

Womens 800m freestlye: Rebecca Addlington -245 This is her best event and I like having the home crowd cheer her home if its close. Appears to be only one other swimmer to challenge her in Lottte Fris. Only chance for GB to get swimming gold.

[wikkidinsane]

If u can bet Bolt to win 100m men Shelly Ann fraser for 100 m women 200 m bolt again 200 m women is up for grabs 4 x 100 jamaica . Any 400 m bet usa again

[ramones951]

Im guessing books adjust numbers based on the money coming in.

they definitely do both. But they react too much to prelim times. Sometimes if you wait til after prelims you can get better value on your swimmer

[ramones951]

Phelps 3-peats in a second event....

[ramones951]

Ahhhhhh Cesar let me down... Lost 2 units on Cesar but won about 4 on Phelps in the 100 fly...

Just a 2 unit play on Kromodijojo (+137) and my big 10 unit play (4x100 medley @ -148) tomorrow to cap off a great Olympics!!

No need to apologize but you buried me.

[ramones951]

No need to apologize but you buried me.

Hope the other ones made up for it. Got the medley relay coming up

[ramones951]

Men's medley is at -580 on 5dimes, and -740 on Pinnacle!

Absolute joke this was at -150 for so long

[ramones951]

Winner winner chicken dinner

[benrama]

Most epic money making event ever the Olympic swimming, IF you pick your spots and go big. Easy to say now but I was never big on Lochte after he clearly peaked too early - he looked exhausted by about day 3.

Ye to win the 200IM, and US the 4x100IM were two of the best gifts I have seen from the books in all my time sports betting.

BOL with the rest of the Olympics ramones and thanks for the insights here ... see you in the worlds in 2 years time?

[Boscoe]

Taking Raisman on balance beam +1000 and Wieber on floor +500.

[darko3131]

Raisman may be worth a shot at those odds but Wieber is pretty much dead money. Her start value on floor is too low, she'd need at least 3-4 others to fall flat on their faces to have any shot at gold. Whose got odds anyway? I've got Raisman on floor at +600 from bodog but they haven't put odds up again since the games started. I'd like to hedge on the Romanian.

[dj_destroyer]

Thanks ramones for the relay win... Needed that bounce back.

Also thanks to whoever first picked that Riner judo guy... Got him at like -170 or something. Solid play.

S Korea lost earlier in Group Play to USA 1-3.
In 6 matches S.Korea has yet to be shutout 3-0.
