I layed him @ 2.08 before the heats, and continued to lay afterwards!! I did not see anything positive in his run in the heats!! Would much rather have six possible gold medalists on side rather than relying on Mo pulling this off. Good luck, I will take it on the chin if he wins!!!

don't believe the hype about Dejen Gebremeskel
|
|
By:
the VALUE BET is Hayle Ibrahimov
|
|
By:
He is only one possible winner, five other possibles. Just dont think Farah is value at these odds.

i layed Dejen Gebremeskel what has this guy done to be fav?
|
|
By:
it will be no surprise if Farah wins
He is the 5000m World Champ, running in his home stadium and has just won the 10 km Olympic title not the kind of form I would want to be opposing based on one run in a heat where he did just enough to qualify the odds may not be right but he can still win it and I don't like flipping coins which is what you are doing we shall see, I'm not betting but will be cheering him on |

I backed Dejen Gebremeskel at 3.65 before Mo Farah won the 10000m. I've had a saver on Isiah Kiplangat Koech at 15s. I don't see Koech as a last lap kicker but he has a fast 1500m and Kenya Olympic qualifying 5000m both in Nairobi (1795m / ~5900 ft above sea level). A fast pace would suit that 18 year old.
My worry is both of these guys seem to be tactically poor, get into bad positions, run wide unnecessarily. The other Ethiopian and Kenyan runners might not be willing to set a good pace and sacrifice their medal chances. |

Passionate discussion. Yes, it is a difficult race to call.
This is why I am sticking to basics based on my knowledge and very few will agree with me. First three to cross the line and I add in any order: Legat, Longosiwa and Gebremeskel Good luck to all of you |
|
By:
Did you back Legat Kiwi? ...and what knowledge of your backs that up and suggests he'll win @ 37 years of age?
|
|
By:
He's got the fastest sprint finish i've seen- he can win off a slow pace imo

Times are irelavent in championship distance races
Most moronic comment on the forums ever (given that it appears to have been said with no tongue in cheek). 1.01 Correlation between times and results is 80%+. Farah, not in the top 5 times THIS SEASON and even further back on the all time list. Even a 5 year old could figure this out. Should be 20/1 to win and about 4/1 to place. I have bet accordingly. GL all. |

that's what I said
based on one run in a heat ffs |
|
By:
Hayle Ibrahimov has fast sprint finish
|

Judorick, He done just enough to qualify? Well if that was all an act, we will be seeing Mo in Coronation Street next. He was hurting like hell trying to qualify in 3rd. 7/4 for gold in a line up of this quality dont make any sense. Lay him till the cows come home!!!

Hi, everyone. does anybody know what time the race is.
|
|
By:
according to BBC News just now, Mo ran the 5k last week and is going for the 10K tonight.
|
|
By:
Mo should be running at 7.30 this evening. But do check.
|
|
By:
wont win, bronze maybe
|
|
By:
Thank you

we shall see, I'm not betting but will be cheering him on
LOL |
|
By:
would love lagat to win this. fast pace early on will hinder his chances though
|

Spouting off sh1t after being led by emotions and/or bookie's prices, and then says he's not having a bet!! |

By:
Just over 10 minutes to go.
Apparently no team tactics. Ethopian and Kenyan runners do not want to give up their chances of a medal. Let's enjoy the show guys. |
