Cycling: 2010 Paris-Nice & Tirreno Adriatico (next week)

What books are you with? Did you just sign up with Sportingbet?

Tomorrow's stage in PN is the stage I've been waiting for the most.

Just so it's easier to result:

Stage 1 - Tirreno-Adriatico

1 unit Boonen @ $11
3 units Boonen to place @ $3.25
3 units Boonen over Boasson-Hagen @ $1.85
5 units Freire over Bennati @ $1.50

Final bets in PN Stage 3

5 units Kreuziger over Boom @ $1.62
7 units Sanchez over Voigt @ $1.45
3 units Contador over Le Mevel @ $1.90

Good luck!

Yeah just sportingbet... Why's that?...

So wat's goin on with this stage 2moz?...

How much are your units worth Bolar?...

$100. -I've had a shocker this year so far, but as you can see, things turn around a lot in cycling. Like, I cracked 53 units in the Vuelta last year and 10 units in the Worlds not long after.

I lost .8 units in Paris-Tours

Then I won 40 units in the Giro di Lombardia thanks to a 5 unit bet on Gilbert to win @ $9. He had won the last two or three races in the fortnight prior and was on fire and the books overrated him and he cashed in for me.

So that was 103 units from September to November. Take off the 15.54 units I lost prior in the other races, gave me a profit of +87 units for the year and that's my bank for this year. Goal is to get to 200 units.

At the moment, I'm down 26.45 units for the year at the start of these two events. And after the first few stages, that's down to over 30 units.

But, as we saw last year, cycling betting can change in the blink of an eye. If these overalls get up, particularly Sanchez, I should be back to square.

The reason why I asked who you were with was Sportingbet are going to do a lot of cycling this year and they will focus on head to heads if I request them. So stick with them.

But I advise you get a bet365 account at some point during the year so you can bet LIVE. In-play betting is the key in cycling, but if there are good head to heads, you can win there too. So I'll be focusing on head to heads more this year and live betting.

But keep with sportingbet but unless stage betting is 90% sure, I would steer clear of it and stick with head to heads.

$100 lol fuck me... Well hopefully Boonen wins tonight... More for you than me... I'm a student so you can understand why my bets are no where near that much... I only bet for fun... Nothin too serious...

Who do you write for?... Accept my friend request and PM if ya don't wanna announce it on the forums...

The thing is, I have a start.

Yeah, I know it can be hard for a student. Keep betting for fun. You don't want to get addicted.

I just hope I can help you get some $$$$$$$.

ah ok I get it... that's awesome hope it works out for you... I'll be waitin to read your articles in Bicycling Australia or similiar lol...

As for making me money... That sounds awesome aswell...

Have a look at multying Lokvist over Rogers and Vino over Hesjedal in the Tirreno overall head to head market.

Will do... Thanks for the tip...

Lokvist over rogers / Vinokourov over Hesjedal @ $3.61 on sportingbet...

No worries.

Lovkvist should do well here. The climbs suit him. They are probably a bit too stiff for Rogers.

On similar climbs late last year Vino showed his old self. Hesjedal should struggle here unless he's doping.

Ok locked...

Tirreno-Adriatico Stage 1

Boonen Outright @ $11
Booonen to podium @ $3.25
Boonen over Boasson-Hagen / Freire over Bennati @ $2.63

Was gonna add Thor to the multi but decided against it... i'll stick to the small multis as I'm not too bright bout this course yet, haven't done me research...

It's snowing in France so the stage in Paris Nice today is going to be an icy one. Currently -2 degrees.

It's snowing in Livorno, so stage 1 of Tirreno-Adriatico is going to be a classic race. They might call it off yet. If they don't, this is a Boonen course.

Yeah, best to stick with smaller multies. 2 legs.

Hagen - 14th
Boonen - 108th

Bennati - 25th
Freire - 170th


Fucking soiled...

Okay enough of this shit.

6 units Sanchez over Sagan @ $1.90

Sanchez is going for the win. Sagan has had his time in the sun and is going to help out Kreuziger. Sagan shouldn't be there when Sanchez crosses the line. He should be back.

5 units Contador to win @ $2.40 - Cant' see him getting beaten. Can you?

2 units Schleck top 3 @ $6 - Schleck hasn't shown himself yet. Today is the day he will.

3 units Rodriguez over Valverde @ $1.77- Rodriguez should be too strong here.

2 units Machado over Cunego @ $2.25 - Cunego doesn't care about this stuff anymore.

I'm looking at Voigt over Roche too.

Tirreno-Adriatico Stage 2

2 units Hushovd over Rojas @ $2.25

2 units Boonen over Davis x Farrar over Hutarovich @ $2.64

Good luck!

Paris-Nice Stage 4

3 units Sicard over Verdugo @ $2.15 - Hopefully they put this onto Sportingbet for some people.

Sicard is the highest man for Euskaltel in the GC. They will ride for him tonight.

Sanchez was disappointing and so was Boonen getting a puncture at the wrong time. Freire sucked.

Overalls are looking good.

It is on sportingbet... it's payin $2.10

Sanchez over Sagan @ $1.90
Machado over Cunego @ $2.25
Sicard over Verdugo @ $2.15

Hushovd over Rojas @ $2.25 (Claming this pick as my own lol already had it...)
Boonen over Davis x Farrar over Hutarovich @ $2.64

Last time they were on this climb in 2007.

Sanchez was younger so was Kreuziger.

Valjavec can't keep up with the bigger mountain goats anymore.

I like Schleck to podium here. 

At $6, I'm putting another unit on it making it 3.

Sportingbet don't even have andy on the stage victory / podium markets...

They have Frank @ $6...

Locked...

Thor Hushovd over Jose Rojas Gil @ $2.25
Luis Leon Sanchez over Peter Sagan @ $1.90
Romain Sicard over Gorka Verdugo @ $2.10
Tiago Machado over Damiano Cunego @ $2.25

Good Luck... Hope we get these ones...

Just re-read the post and realised you didn't say andy... Don't know where I got that from lol...

If we don't get them I'll be pissed
