Cycling: Tour of Qatar

25km to go, just before,

2 units Tyler Farrar over Danilo Napolitano @ $1.72

And now,

1 unit Alessandro Ballan over Marcus Burghardt @ $1.95
1.5 unit Boasson-Hagen over Jimmy Casper @ $1.72

1 unit Boonen to win @ $5.50

Good luck!

.2 unit Matthew Goss @ $50 - He is Columbia's leader, not Eisel and he can win a classics sprint.

.3 unit Boasson-Hagen @ $11

I also put another unit on him to beat Casper, with the price still at 1.72.

That's it for the stage, with 15km to go, enjoy the sprint.

Fuck, this is too easy. Will wait on the result of Boasson-Hagen before I result, and Ballan but Boonen rules Qatar.

Nice call on the winner Bolar.

 Outstanding work capping the race so far and nice bounce-back after the first race of season.

Pulling for ya to win those live matchups but still can't see full results on the website.

2 units Tyler Farrar over Danilo Napolitano @ $1.72 - win
1 unit Alessandro Ballan over Marcus Burghardt @ $1.95 - win
2.5 unit Boasson-Hagen over Jimmy Casper @ $1.72 0 lost
1 unit Boonen to win @ $5.50 - win
.3 unit Boasson-Hagen @ $11 - loss
.2 unit Goss @ $50 - loss

+4.39

On a roll. See what Stage 4 brings!

Cheers. I might back Boonen again tomorrow. IMO, Boonen or Haussler look like the stronger sprinters at the moment.

At the moment, Overall is looking like +3.76, but will be 1.76 if Boonen doesn't win.

Stage 1 - +9
Stage 2 - +6.12
Stage 3 - +4.39

Overall potentially +1.76, or could be greater if the impossible happens in the remaining 3 stages.

Cheers, in cycling, in particular, you can bounce back big.

I'm converted to  in-play betting now. It's the only way to do cycling. This year, It will be rare for me to play big bets outside of live betting, especially in races like Qatar where the wind can fuck you up.

Australia 1-2 or 3 medals in total might be a good bet. 2 options, one at 2.55, the other 3+, put the same amount on both, you will make a profit, one way or the other.

We will get one medal at least. Then, the sky is the limit in regards to the bet. You would hope we get 3+ so you get a bigger profit.

Crap - wrong topic.

Anyway, tonight there should be lots of crosswinds. Could be another break. You will commit financial suicide if you place a bet on before the stage.

Ready to make money tonight guys?

1 unit Haussler @ $5.50
2.5 unit Boonen @ $2.80
.4 unit Boasson-Hagen @ $19
.1 unit Goss @ $80

Good luck!

Basically Haussler and Boonen have both proven they are the two fastest sprinters here that are on form. Now I know this will be a bunch sprint, I can back them both, and still come out on top if one of them win.

17km to go, Farrar has punctured and faces a tough ask of making the front end of the peloton traveling at a fast speed. Therefore,

2 units Napolitano over Farrar @ $2.70

Farrar punctured again with 10km to go. hahahahahahaha

Boonen is 2 dollars over Haussler. That is tempting.

1 unit Boonen over Haussler @ $2.10

Good luck

7km to go, no more for me, time to watch the sprint. Go boonen.

1 unit Haussler @ $5.50 - lost (second)
2.5 unit Boonen @ $2.80 - lost
.4 unit Boasson-Hagen @ $19 - lost
.1 unit Goss @ $80 - lost
2 units Napolitano over Farrar @ $2.70 - won
1 unit Boonen over Haussler @ $2.10 - lost

-1.6 for the stage today. Should have put more on Napolitano, but wanted to be safe in case Farrar caught back up. Silly me.

It's all a mess at the moment.

1 unit Boonen over Haussler @ $2 was the only bet I made.

And I managed to grab 1.5 unit Bennati to win @ $5.50

The only sprinters in this group are O'Grady, Bennati, Napolitano, Hinault and Farrar I think.

2 units Napolitano over Kluger @ $1.95

Sorry, the above was $1.75

6km to go, the gap is 19 seconds.
