Bolt 1.83 sounds good to me.

semis in a few mins guys, brace yourselves

I think a few of us are already green on Bolt

powell top 3 in heats looks a steal though, will make finals

Powell has said his hamstring not 100%, personally wouldn't bother with that one.

is that a 1/20 shot owning?

Powell surprisingly looks relaxed.

safe as houses

fastest man on the planet at 1.85, amazing

he will get a mdeal thouguh, from relay

medal

Why on earth did he ease off in the final 20m?  Crazy.

he might not get in

That's a medal in the 100m, obviously .

Seriously, he'll be lucky to get top 6 in the final.

Gatlin had a bad start and ran a 9.82

WR in danger ?

fast track

he was fav in 2004, got 4th/5th didn't he? lol

If Bolt is healthy yes.

WR yes odds shortening nicely now.

only gonna do snuff to qualify

bailey top 3 1.12 to 1.06 wtf

*enuff/ snuff LOL

As if Gatlin is clean, running like that

Bolt will not be beaten.

Gatlin had the 2nd worst reaction time of the 8 runners in that heat (.18 seconds)

Why do black people bother with tattoos?

Bolt -5000

lmfao

BOLT lol

9.87. Slowed down at the 60 metre mark

too good

slowed down

9.87 and slowing down from half way

WR has to fall tonight. Track looks very fast.

A machine.

Bol

Come on ,anyone want to lay my 1.83 now......

WR record odds collapsing, yeah baby!

New trousers for HRE please.

blake to win 3rd heats?

That was easy, this could be a super quick time

9.4? is on the cards

1.48 way too high, its over Bolt wins barring false start/lane dq.

From 4s to 2.18 on that run.

f*ck off Chambers, you shouldn't be anywhere near these games.

your money and my money safe comic......I presume HRE will say he backed bolt in runnings and has greened out on the lay !!!!!!

Pleased I have not layed wr very quick track. Just hope I collect now, come on big lad finish  it off.

I don't care as long as the record is beaten The Graduate. Very tasty prices around earlier!

'f*ck off Chambers, you shouldn't be anywhere near these games.'

Neither should the majority of the runners in these heats

sun was hilarious

What time do they run the 100m final?

9:50

Thanks!

I don't support Chambers but to be fair he didn't speak badly considering he's usually inarticulate...thought he might call the interviewer Boss

blake easing through as well

Are the odds right?

Someone layed Bolt at 1.58 immediately after Blake's heat was finished. Very brave.

Bolt at his best can't be beaten.  If no rain I expect a new WR.

Looked very relaxed

jamaican 1,2 no chance for those yanks

Wish I'd backed new WR. What price was it at best?

the way blake and bolt eased towards the end is scary

^ 6.0

Big money for Bolt

7/4 looks more than fair for new WR.

I have taken some profit out of it , got to be honest with you all. Think he will win but could not help taking some cash back out. Still got a lot running ,heart pounding and still over a hour to race.

I took £900 at 1.86. tempted to green out now at 1.3 for £500 profit. Bolt was just being a drama queen all along. cant say i blame him, why bust your nut on every meaningless race.

Bolt eased up and it cost him about 1 metre on the others. That equates to 0.1 seconds. So if he had given it everything to the line he'd have done 9.77.

1.3 is too tight. Blake and Gatlin will give him a race. It appears Gay is still only 95% fit

ha ha everyone backed Bolt now at it big prices?At least I was really on and if he gets beat I am still down but with taking a bit out not too bad. Come on Bolt backers...

anyone doing the under 10 secs markets? 6 and above at 1.22 seems generous considering 7/8 of them in the finals ran under 10, and i expect each of them to run a lil faster in the finals

Sorry....above in reply to Platini re WR

I have lumped the no WR market

saving it for when he gets paid cash I reckon

yeah owning looks like value , though u might get 1 or 2 bad starts or pulling up towards finish or even a DQ , otherwise its good bet

9.58 is the wr , right ?? if he beats that , then OMG

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men's_100_metres_world_record_progression

WR was 10.8 seconds in 1891 !!

reckon some of the forum might challenge that on a good day

No way would I bet against a world record. Track is lightning fast, Bolt is looking mean again.

Bolt should be the fav but not this short.  We still dont know how Bolt will cope with Blake next to him.  Blake's price is insulting and I'll have a small play

he is entirely capable of breaking the WR but the questions are:

1. Will he need to break the WR to win?
2. If not, what would motivate him to do so?

I don't think he will require a WR to get gold and he might be more motivated to do a WR when there is serious $$$$$$$ behind it

NO WR tonight

Blake will run 9.65 - 9.75 which means there is no chance Bolt will be clear enough to be easing up so WR could go.

I've backed  Bolt to win and no WR ...if Bolt don't win , then there aint gonna be a WR ...
  of course Bolt could win Gold and get the WR , but thats the gamble

Gatlin, Blake, Bailey - some very powerful runs this week. Bolt will be chasing them out of the blocks. If he wins, it will most likely be a WR.

There are some seriously fast times out there with both Gatlin and Blake easing up in their semi-finals.

windspeed in the heats relevant?

Good luck anyone who's layed No WR, especially at earlier prices. You have balls of steel.

Backed bolt...1.86 awesome price if he is ready to run his race...should know after the semi's.....saver on richards ross in the womens 400


nice one sandi.....free bet on bolt at 1.86.....does that make me a semi clueless moron ?

1.3

BOOM ,no after timing here get in there big man.

Check out original post got time bang on too. Yee haa

Pathetic that this thread stopped dead as soon as Bolt wins with ease. Had Bolt lost Betfair site would be running out of bandwidth due to all the replies on this thread.

Utterly embarrassing from some people and completely clueless antics pre-event as usual.

Well done OP.

You are correct Jack. HRE would have been on ALL night had Usain been beaten.

Just a little snippet froim HRE'S earlier post where he said UB would be beaten .
