SS this a Shits and Giggles wager or has this dude beaten this time before?

teazeman · Aug 19, 2008

i like that play, if someone can push him i don't see him not breaking the record.

this dude may be the best olympian ever after his career is done.

he is -5000 to win the race at bet365.

He let up and celebrated , if he hadnt done that he would have smashed the world record.

caveit: this is all stuff I just heard on the team 990 radio station in montreal.

that is the key, will he go for the record, or will he "let up" once he knows for sure he has gold, I dont think anyone can push him however.

Cusipz · Aug 19, 2008

I think he lets up. He's a showoff and will want to wave to the crowd or do something else stupid.

But no doubt he wins the race.

If he runs all the way thru YES, sadly i dont like the chances of him doing that

im on this bet

IF he doesn't break the record it's only because he doesn't want to, that 100m may have been one of the most dominant performance's i've ever witnessed, and he coasted the last 15-20 meters. if his agent or a rep got to him and conveyed the potential $$$$ he can make by putting out 100% i can't see this bet not cashing. where'd you get this play in at?

id be shocked if it wasnt, Im not sure of the start time.

I would hammer this play for more than $200 but that is the max the greek allows....

SportSavant · Aug 19, 2008

NOTE:

the greek is obviously not too far off on their odds because I just noticed Pinny has +196 on this wager.

Yes vs No

Just hit Pinny for the max ($500) which movedd the line to +175.

I have no doubt I will be able to scalp off as the race approaches and the hype increases.

No it wont since the race dont take place until 10:20am eastern time Wed morning in the states. So they will show it on tape delayed as part of their prime time coverage Wed. night.

Maybe someone will stream it on justintv from another country

WOW

What has happened to move this line from -110 to +200? Im terribly confused, is it due to the strong beleif that USAIN bolt will not acctually go for the record but just for the gold?

:think2::shocked:

Harvey Dent · Aug 19, 2008

im on it at +117 will put more on it now, is this race at 9:20 am tomorrow?
