Okay, these two guys will battle it out for 6-12. There is absolutely nothing between them. The match is even, so the odds should be more like 1.85 each.
But, they have Duque @ $2.70
In a 50/50 bet, literally, $2.70 is way over the odds. I am taking this risk in the fact that its over the odds and if it pays off, I'm a genius. If it doesn't, it was worht the risk.
2 units Duque over Bonnet @ $2.70
I forgot my Duque over Bonnet play.

That's an alright lead-out but I'm not convinced.

And Duque, I've thought about putting more on it. He shouldnt' be 2.70. He should be like 1.85. Duque consistently gets top 10's. I don't think Bonnet is a huge field sprinter but Duque is.

I'm not comfortable betting against Cav... So I'll either back him or stay away from the stage victory market...
Havent looked at sportingbet h2h's yet...
Cav won't win stage one.
A) He hasn't won a race all year B) He's had fitness troubles - mostly dental that's affected his training C) There is a short climb within the last 10km of the stage D) He has a shit team around him
This corresponding stage yesterday, someone that attacked on a similar climb took stage victory and Cav was nowhere to be seen.
I've pinpointed two great head to heads in Stage 1. And I may be backing Freire each way in the stage.
Other than that, I WILL be backing Cav on Tuesday's flat stage. That's a definate bunch sprint with no obstacles and Cav should get on the winner's list there.
Freire over Bennati Pozzato over Visconti Boonen over EBH
All look like great head to heads for stage one. But I won't be making a call on stage one till later tomorrow.

Cav's best chance of winning is on the final stage on Tuesday. He'll be around 4-5 dollars providing he doesn't win the stage tomorrow. That's going to be a huge play.
Corresponding stage last year I meant to say.

Ok I'll take your advice... I'm gonna stay away from the stage 1 winner market... I spotted that oscar freire matchup bet also... I'm by no means an expert but it stood out for some reason...

I'm going to back track from Freire and go with Boonen. The weather in Italy by all reports is cold and is going to make this a real classics sort of stage that you would find in Belgium. They are even talking of potentially snow. This weather will suit Boonen.
1 unit Boonen @ $11 3 units Boonen to place @ $3.25 3 units Boonen over Boasson-Hagen @ $1.85
Good luck!

Hey bolar what are the chances of Freire and Boonen both finishing in the top3?... Or will it only be one or the other up there?...
Last year in the TDF, I made a lot of money backing Cavendish for a win and Farrar for a place until the books changed the odds.
You need to evaluate the sprinters when trying to make such a huge call.
Mark Cavendish Oscar Freire Tom Boonen Daniele Bennati Alessandro Pettachi Tyler Farrar Thor Hushovd Filippo Pozzato Edvald Boasson-Hagen
Then you have the second tier who shouldn't figure
Robbie McEwen Alan Davis Luca Paolini
So immediately you rule McEwen, Davis and Paolini out.
EBH is a quality rider but can he out-sprint some of those guys? probably not
Pettachi won't have a problem with this bump near the end but he crashed earlier in the week. Could he figure up there? Maybe, maybe not. 50/50.
Cavendish has had an interupted season and is not fit and has a shithouse lead out train. Could he factor top 3? 50/50. I certainly wouldn't back him for a win. Not yet anyway.
Hushovd looked strong in the semi classics 2 weekends ago. Freire has been winning races. Bennati is hot and cold and looks he has got it together this year. Boonen is a class act but is he worrying about sprint finishes now? Garmin have come out and said that Farrar will go for it regardless so they are looking for him to win this stage or place it.
I would say it's a 50/50 chance both are in the top 3 tonight. I would give it a 95% chance that one of them are in the top 3.
After reading those comments about Farrar a part of me wishes I backed him top 3 instead of Boonen.
It's a tough one to call as 5 or even 6 could finish top 3. So to have both of them finish top 3 is too hard to predict.
Go for one of them and hope you made the right selection. I look at the weather and I think I made the right selection with Boonen. But will Boonen screw me over and Freire do what I thought he was going to do all along? Time will tell.
The weather turned me to Boonen. The odds turned me to Boonen. And I sure as hell hope it pays off.

As I say, the conditions suit him more than anyone there. Today should be a bunch sprint. The sprinters don't have many opportunities to make things work. Today is the day and Tuesday next week.
Tuesday next week is my Cavendish play. He'll be good odds. Particularly if he doesn't win a stage which we should be hoping for.
Yeah, why not.
