I've nearly got a tip, for you all.

[Stat Brother]

This will be a bit 'left-field' for most of you, but as I've been casually casting an eye over recent pro-cycling results, Ryder Hesjedal seems to keep catching my eye. He's currently carrying some very good form.

This weekend is The Amstel Gold Race, and much to my surprise he's 50-1, (hence the nearly bit). I would have thought he was more of a 20's max rider, for many reasons I doubt you'll be all that bothered about.

Sure the 2 main favourites are that for a reason, but we are talking over 6 hours of reasonably unpredictable racing, and as I said Ryder certainly has 'the legs' at the moment.

This is all my own work, and I take full responsibility, although no refunds can be given.

So how come when I go to do the same, it only offers me £2.00.
Is it because I have just opened the account?.

Have gone 150/1 to win on betfair
And 15/1 to finish top three

Though as others have said, know bugger all about cycling

Cheers

£1 e/w on Bet365 as some bastard took the 150/1 odds on Betfair, meaning I can only get 50's

Sorry, that was me

 

[Superphil]

he doesnt appear on Paddy Power, has he pulled out?

Currently 100/1 on bet365

Had a spare four quid credit in my bet365 account and chucked on 2 each way. Interestingly it flashed back a message I've never seen in all my years on there:

Your bet slip is being processed.

To request a large bet, increase the Stake/To Win value and click Place Bet. The amount by which this figure exceeds Bet Max will be referred to a Trader.
Please be patient, your additional stake has been referred to a Trader.

Not sure if this message kicks in @ 100/1 or if NSC has caused irregular betting patterns to be flagged

 

[Djmiles]

I bet at 100/1 on Bet365 yesterday without any problems!

OK so I shouldn't post these links, but I've stumbled in from a few too many Timmy Taylors, so I thought I'd share my knowledge:-

Volcano Blows Big Hole In Final Start List For Amstel Gold | Cyclingnews.com
Valverde, Sanchez Miss Amstel Gold Due To Volcano Eyjafjallajökull | Cyclingnews.com
Hesjedal Aiming High At The Ardennes | Cyclingnews.com

All this means nothing when Andy Schleck drags his brother Frank to the line, leaving our boy still in a different country. Or Cunago storming home.
But having AV stuck in Spain does make 150-1 for a team leader, with a full team, even more encouraging. Now that is the beer talking.
I'm sorry for all you crazy fools that followed me, I should have said, I am also the man that tipped Wenger to be the 1st manager to lose his job, this season.

Um, roughly translated from your gibberish post, does that mean he's a non-runner?

No - he's a runner. But the heavily fancied favourite is a non-runner as is another reasonably well regarded rider.

150/1 available at both Sportingbet and Ladbrokes incidentally.

Haha NSC in drunken ramblings shocker!
Cheers Bozza, I could have just written that.

I'm genuinely surprised at the length of odds, for our boy.
He will be thinking, as team leader of a very good Pro-Tour team, that he should be top 10, and from there who knows.

2nd, get in, I did a win and ew bet.

Very nice work!

I did try when I saw the 150/1 but couldn't manage to login to Sportingbet.com for some reason. Even my £5 e/w would have produced a very nice return. Arse.

 

[Djmiles]

Get in! Thanks a lot! £25 will do me just fine!

Thank you very much.
