    I have parlayed the dream team/usa softball side/usain bolt in the 100m and lui xiang in the 110m hurdles. (+450)    2 unit play
     
    I think it's money well invested, i was only interested in the 100m finals but i couldnt resist the dream team and the u.s softball side (they own world softball) with xiang in form running at home for gold.
     
    GO the bolt!  hope tyson gay and powell get disqualified

    I really can't see Bolt winning it to be honest. The guy is still too raw over the 100m distance and has openly said that 200m will be his main focus for Beijing.
     
    Gay is a big match performer and I expect him to take it out. Powell is simply a choker on the big stage as highlighted in the World Champs last year

    It was a leg cramp for gay but im sure he'll recover and be in there for the finals. Bolt's chances taking the gold has now doubled as I only see gay as the only major threat.

    BOLT!!!!!!!

    they can pay me first before they do him for doping.

    My parlay was  dream team/bolt/liu xiang (110m hurdle) and libby trickett (100m butterfly) .... us softball side wasnt available.

    total pays (+800) not (+450)  i'm used to the decimal odds

    looks like the only one i'll have to sweat on is the chinese dude in the hurdles as robles is looking good leading up to this race.

    Im just gonna let it ride hoh, actually im pretty confident about xiang and want to maximize my profit. Well i cant see the dream team losing but hey nothing is a lock in sports gambling exept for geelong ml vs melbourne or storm ml vs bulldogs-post SBW.

    Cathy did it for us so im thinking xiang will do it for them, plus robles does not have the olympic stage experience.

    xiang is out, achilles injury and did not start. This bet will be cancelled. Im happy with that as robles and oliver were impressive in their heats.

    Injury or pressure of 1.3 billion people on his shoulders? who knows, either way the books cannot be happy about this situation as almost all the money for this event went to xiang and robles and now because xiang didnt officially start the race they have to refund the money for xiang and payout the amount for robles at juicy odds (opened in my books at +175 before heading down to -115) if he wins.

    This just got interesting!!!! the books will be praying for oliver to win.
    But now all of us will be cheering on for robles, GO ROBLES! break the books
