The 10/3 was available after the massive success at The World Cycling Championships. That success filtered through gradually and moved the line to what may have been 11.5 From memory I had them at about 14. They were paired up with Italy as a pickem which I remember being my main medal bet
 Adlington was not unexpected. She was world ranked number 1 at 800m and 2 or 3 at 400m. 47 medals in total means there's no way the correct line was 11.5 in hindsight |

Yes but there was rumours she had a flu just before the olympics and brits were not supposed to do well in beging

iPhone cut me off.
Because of weather and polution comditions etc. So how many medals do u think team gb will win. I say 21-23 |
|
By:
23.5 and 63.5 would've been my hcap lines
|
|
By:
19.5 and 60.5 would be mine

Under 22 for me......Every time UK media over hype our abilities......tend to fall flat on our face.....The idea that we will win the same events as 4 years is pure nonsense.....athletics get older....new ones come in

athletics 2 boxing 3 (incl women) cycling 6 (incl bmx, track & road) equestrian 2 fencing 1 rowing 3 sailing 2 shooting 1 swimming 2 rest none total 22 |

One factor that gets overlooked is the weather. Many Olympics take place in very hot humid weather that eliminates UK from so many of the events that we might otherwise do OK in. It is just possible that it will be hot and humid in London as well but less likely so that could add 3 or 4 more wins. Paula Radcliffe has very seldom been beaten in Marathons when it was 20 degrees or below and has usually been well beaten above 25 but sadly this might come too late in her career.

To get to 23 golds, the boxing and fencing judges really have to do their stuff !!
Cycling and swimming will be hard pushed to achieve the 2008 medal haul, no other sports appear to be any better than 2008 countries, hence the bet must be under 23 |

Pre-games Athletics looks better than the 1 gold of 4 years ago, same for boxing
|

We should win both triathlon golds barring injuries. One Equestrian on home soil seems reasonable. 2 Athletics, 3 Yachting, 3 Rowing, one canoeing, 4 swimming including open water, one BMX, 3 road cycling, 3 track cycling, plus 3 other golds in events that I have not really looked at makes 25.

Any1 think team gb to finish 4th or below at 2/5 represents value. Russians r not doing to well either
|
|
By:
golds gonna be less than 23 for sure and I have backed the unders everywhere I could and laid overs
not that I am at all anti GB , quite the opposite I have been screaming at the telly and have as sore throat, just think that there will be few, if any, surprise golds and there has to be a chance that several bankers become blowouts although I have bankered addlington in a treble with Riner (judo) and Bauge (track cycling) that will pay nicely |
|
By:
i would have thought a good chance GB take over 3rd in the table sometime over the weekend whether we hang though is another matter
had a decent lead over russia in beijing iirc but they have a lot of strong events in the last 2 or 3 days |

By:
Thanks judorick and mafia king.
Agree with both of u lads to an extent. Judorick it's not about being anti gb, it's all about trying to win money. Would love to see gb win lots of medals but we must be unbias. Mafiaking I think this weekend will be the strong part of the olympics for gb. I'm expecting gb to get into double figures for golds but after that golds will be hard to come by. Only the boxing looks strong where gb r expecting 3 golds and 5 from athletics |
|
By:
It's not team gb golds that will impact the 2/5 but rather how well r Russia going to do in this next week. Dnt know all that much about the russians
|

By:
i am still thinking that 22/23 is easily reachable, don't think it's an easy ride for unders backers

Should be around 25 now
|
|
By:
Could be as high as 30.
|
|
By:
Just shocked at how badly Russia r doing
|
|
By:
Russia will get a heap of golds in wrestling
|
|
By:
Russia do have as many medals as we do. The old Soviet nations have 20 golds. Still our aim was to climb above Russia and we've obliterated that at the moment.

GB were paying 2.6 to beat Russia before the Olympics. Hate those "I wish I hammered that" moments like this in betting
