Congrats man. I wish I would have found that somewhere. I would have went large on it. I got a little on him at 7 to 4 after the first round because i was afraid Lagat would tank so I salvaged a little of what I lost.

I should have looked into putting money on Willis to medal instead of win. 150 to 1 to win and he gets third (ill take that as a moral victory.). Books don't know track!

Robles should take the hurdles easily now and all my 800 guys made it through the first round. Hope i can hit the winner.

Hey Bidmerun,

What do you think the chances are that Merritt can beat Warriner in the 400m final?

100%

For the record though, I did like him before the race but didnt think 2 to 1 was worth it so I laid off.

Robles

My two lottery tickets are still alive in Kamel and Reed. I need one to hit.

I ended up getting him at 4-1 20 minutes before the race!

Those were the right odds for that play. Well done.

Now for your countryman to come through for me in the 800!

5000m-Eliud Kipchoge 1.5 units at 7 to 1.

This guy has the number four 5k time in the record books. He has the tools to make a long drive to the finish and he can kick with 200m as well. Along with this, he has two teamates in the race that will set it up to his liking. This line should be closer to 2-3 to 1. I see good value here.
