2010 Tour de France

Looks like Unibet is thinking the same as us (me) on the H2H as their taken a lot of Frenchs against each other...

I know you didn't see any value in Boasson to win or take podium, but I like him against Rojas Gil @ 1.85...

Also do this stage fit Kolobnev well?? He's matched up with Cunego who used a lot of energy today @ 2.00...

Evans struggled as expected, but I didn't think he would lose this much so the broken hand shurly bothers him... Armstrong is @ 2.08 vs Evans....

I don't belive Andy win this stage as he used a lot of energy today, but @ 200.00 it might be worth a shot and hope for him to try something (prob won't happening before the Pyr, but....).
Got Chavanel and Voeckler @ 12, Fedrigo @ 13, Gadret and Vogondy @ 22, Ivanov @ 25....
Also -- not shure on how much energy Van den Broeck used today, but imo he might be worth a shot @ 200.00 too even though I don't see him as a stage winner and more like a top 10 guy...

Don't even touch Andy or Van den Broeck. Save your money. A break takes this. None of the top ten would be allowed in the break or will contend the stage. It's not a stage for them. They will be wanting as much rest as they can.

Stage 10:

5 units French rider most combative @ $1.50

1.5 unit Voeckler @ $11
1.5 unit Fedrigo @ $11
.5 units Gadret @ $34
.5 units Ivanov @ $34
.4 units Auge @ $34
.3 units Monfort @ $51
.3 units Roy @ $51
.3 units Perez @ $67
.3 unit Burghardt @ $67
.3 unit Knees @ $67

In-play

In play: 2 units Paulinho @ $4.75
3 units Rolland over Aerts @ $1.70

damn , that was close !

Thx to Bolar's Paulinho bet I made a nice amount today --- was leaning Rolland, but ended up with Paulinho and Rolland over Bouet in my live-bet's

I expected Sergio to time trial away in the end. But he rode smart in the closing kilometres.

Stage 11

2.5 units Frenchman most combative @ $2.65 

6 units Cavendish to win @ $1.90
1.5 units McEwen top 3 @ $4.50

5 units McEwen over Rojas @ $1.52
5 units Cavendish over Petacchi @ $1.32

+4.625

Renshaw got kicked off the tour... Bullshit if ya ask me... Dean elbowed him first... If he didnt headbutt he would have ended up hitting the barrier and both riders would have most likely got soiled... Pretty Harsh considering the stewards said they only reviewed the footage once...

Great work Bolar

Need one more win for our Cavendish bet.. How do you think we are looking? Looks like there might be possibly 2 more Cavendish can win?

Interestingly on Stage 10, www.sportstab.com.au had an option "Riders not Quoted" which ended up winning. Seems a bit of value with this uphill stages?

Now that Renshaw is out - I'm not that confident but it was good I was backing Cav even though I had the over 3.5.

There's 3 more sprint chances. There's two flat ones and then there is tomorrow's stage. May not end up in a sprint so realstically there is two, perhaps three. He should get it if he can get a good leadout.

Stage 12

6 units Luis Leon Sanchez over Damien Moiner @ $1.87
5 units Robert Gesink over Jurgen Van Den Broeck @ $1.60
3 units Joaquim Rodriguez over Samuel Sanchez @ $2.40

Stage winner:

.8 units Rodriguez @ $15
.2 units Gerdemann @ $51

Hey bolar...

Good luck tonight.. Hopefully Rodriquez wins since I'm on him too... Does Contador go for it at all tonight?... Also a dude from the SBS coverage last night tipped Oscar Freire to win tonight, wats the go with that?... Any chance?...

Freire no chance.

Freire could do tomorrow.

Don't think Contador goes for this stage.... He'll need all his energy when Andy tries to get some minutes on him on the big climbs in a few days... I belive Astana finaly gives Vino a real chance to go on tomorrow/todays stage --- he deserves it..

Don't have any feel on the winner so I'll tail Bolar with Rodriguez...

Like some matchups though....
* Menchov (2.15) over Basso
* Lövkvist (2.45) over De Weert
* Van Summeren (1.68) over El Fares
* Van den Broeck (1.90) over Kreuziger
* Vinokourov (1.55) over Klöden
* Vinokourov (1.85) over Gadret
* Moinard (1.85) over E. Martinez

* Hesjedal (2.00) over Roche

and the one I like most along with the Vino bets...
* Gesink (1.69) over Kreuziger

Sorry Mystery. Only saw your posts after the stage got underway. Generally when I place my bets, I don't come back and look but I do pluck out the head to heads I think are the best and I look at nearly every one that the books have. So the plays I choose are the ones I liked best so I usually don't have comments on them because I left them out for a reason.

No problem Bolar
