THERE are plenty of golds up for grabs at the Olympics today with the likes of swimming, judo and gymnastics all featuring.
Britain's Tom Daley will hope to dive his way to a medal in the men's synchronised 10m platform when he teams up with the aptly-named Peter Waterfield and the pair are 6-5 at William Hill to finish in the top three.
The USA basketball team are also in action and here's Jordan's tip that he posted a couple of days ago.
Monday, 11pm, Olympic Basketball
USA Over 55 1st Half Points (17-20, William Hill) – 2.5 points
This is a decent total considering the likes of Bwin have 60.5 @ 3-4, Skybet55.5 @ 8-11 and Sportingbet56.5 @ 17-20
Mr F. This bet was for Saturday evening which won with the US scoring 59 first half points.
Also the NFL bet I posted is a void with the HOF game cancelled due to the wrong paint on the field. Face-palm moment for the NFL.
I’ve just watched the 200 semi-final freestyle and Sun Yang has pretty much smashed the field. He was EVS to win gold before this heat and has now been smashed into 1/4 and 2/9 at places, but Bet Victor currently have him priced up @ 4/6. The next favourite was Brit James Guy who looked very sloppy in his heat and I’m fairly sure Yang will win.
Men’s 200m Freestyle
Sun Yang @ 4/6 @ Bet Victor – 6 points
Now best 3/10 @ PP
It wasn’t for Saturday you wrote Monday. You can go back and check as well
@geo I may well have done but if you backed the bet then you’ll know its not the same total for tonight. Even in the write up I said; ‘They’ve played two friendlies recently totaling 52 and 55 points at HT but this is the first group game so the starters should get more minutes in the first half’.
Tonight’s match is against Lithuania which is the SECOND group game, and the US haven’t scored 52 and 55 points in recent 1st half friendlies against them. Simple error.
M Phelps basically won the relay with his swim for usa went 47.1 for his split which is amazing .i know he getting older but his fitness which had been questionable looked awesome.not doing as many events this olympics so his favourite event the 200 m fly looks to me his best chance at 11/10 with coral and hills 2 pt win
Jordan cheers for your Olympic tips. Check out the Women’s Rugby 7’s semi final starting at 6pm tonight. Team GB are currently 3rd favourites at a massive 7/1 with Bet365. They have looked the form team and I believe worth a punt.
Bodger
I’ll keep an eye on @bodger cheers pal.
Erm, Team GB got whipped…….I’ll keep to football betting
Olympic games: Field Hockey (Women)
Netherlands v South Korea
Difficult to find value in this game. The Dutch women were superb in their first game against Spain, winning 5-0. It was 4-0 at half time (35 mins). So I will take the first half 0-1 handicap and hope they will lead by 2 at half time.
Dutch women first half handicap -1 @ 2.02 with 888
Win :) 2-0 at half time, 45 seconds before the buzzer
Been told by someone who plays badminton at a good standard that mixed doubles is likely to be an easy win for ZHANG & ZHAO. Price is 11/8 at Bet365 and think it starts on Thursday. GL with your bets ;)
Cycling: Olympic games time trial (men)
Primoz Roglic to win @ 34.00 each-way @ Stanjames / Ladbrokes
A lot of question marks around all the favourites for the time trial. Froome looked a bit cooked in the road race, Dumoulin has a wrist injury, Tony Martin has a knee problem, Dennis hasn’t had a decent TT all year, same goes for Kiriyenka and the course looks to hard for Cancellara.
Roglic did really well in the road race, finishing 26th in front of all other TT specialists. He won the long TT in the Giro this year and I really can see him getting a medal on Wednesday, let’s hope he can get the gold one.
