4 needed after Hoy takes gold.

Market is about right now, although I'm inclined to add a correlation factor between winning team dressage and individual.

If cycling and that horse jumping **** are removed as Olympic sports in the future then GB are f*@ked.

By:
what if they add darts to replace them ?
|
|
By:
or even better for the Brits, binge drinking.
|
|
By:
darts with about 30 different weight classes should see us through.
|
|
By:
Don't think different weight classes would make a difference in darts. They'd all pretty much fit in to the same one.
Massive. |

looks like athletics is gonna miss the target set by van commennee
he said 8 for sure or else he would resign mo farah and the long jump girl are the only realistic individual chances don't know if we stand a chance in the relays |
|
By:
don't think he'll be going anywhere with 3 or 4 golds in the bag. who gives a feck about the minor medals anyway ? it's about gold, gold, gold surely
|
|
By:
4 golds to go
farah 5000m crewe lass - bmx individual equestrian nick skelton - show jumping 5 boxers in semis |
|
By:
30 golds still a shout???

Think we should get 26, but im not pinning my hopes on the show jumping getting one, its just a little too unpredictable. Thats our only gold medal chance of today excluding athletics which i dont think anyone expects us to get a gold in today. Im more than happy to wait until after the show jumping and if i miss the boat then so be it.

impossible to tell now as many of the sports left have a huge 'on the day' element
I mean equestrian, boxing, tae kwon do, modern pentathlon, BMX, diving and even the 5000m can all go either way we could get 2 or 3 golds from boxing but equally could get zero don't think 26+ is likely though, they have got to convert a high percentage to get there |
|
By:
You might be right, but there is a massive drift from 1.15 before pendleton raced yesterday to 1.55 now, she wasn't going to be pivotal to this as we would still need 3 or 4 after her anyway.

in sailing theres i think gb has a good chance for gold in the womens 470 class, we also have a small chance in the mens but i think australia are very big faves there so it looks like silver there. There is also one other event where britain are in the quarter final. Please note the only thing i know about sailing is that if things don't go well you could sink so please paddle with caution
 |
|
By:
Think this could be close now after the show jumping falling short of getting gold. 1.65ish now for four more golds.

nicola adams,luke campbell, anthoney ojoshua, mo farah, womans 470 sailing, shaneze reid, individual dressage, kerry anne payne
These are eight realistic chances of gold that i can find. Thinks there's a taeknondo lass too |
|
By:
Mhairi Spence modern pentathlon has an outside chance also

chances slipping away one by one for 26 gold

Dutch rider posted a very respectable target for the Gb dressage individuals to bet. If they don't get gold in this 26 just looks that bit more unlikely. I'd think it should go odds against
|

to beat*
|

By:
The dressage, womens 470 and the super heavy boxer are the ones I'm expecting gold for btw. I know nothing about the 200m canoeist that u missed from your list gresty but the margins are so fine in that I wouldn't be that hopeful. In my book 23-25 is the current value bet.
Btw i'm not a Farah layer but I don't expect him to win. |

3 more after Charlotte Dujardin takes gold.

Backed the chinese boxer against Adams - won 2 out of their 3 meetings and is odds against. Also partly as a hedge against my 26+ golds bets
|
|
By:
bbc are desperate for adams to win the gold medal
|
|
By:
gb are so desperate for gold there are 5 judges from yorkshire
|
|
By:
i am on 26+ golds for gb and evens for usa ost golds (small red on china when i traded out) so adams winning is good for me
|
|
By:
wow awesome by adams so far lost this one i think
 |
|
By:
I mean I have lost my bet on the chinese
 |
|
By:
:)
|
|
By:
hope so, sorry
|
|
By:
its ok my 26+ golds bet is looking better. Up till now laying the over-bet brits the last few days has been easy money
|
|
By:
certainly has. cant believe i havent made more profit :/
|
|
By:
took some big losses on football etc
so am only £40 up off a £40 start bankroll cant complain though, profit is profit |
|

dont think it matters who judges this!!
