I've already layed rory at 1.5
And backed him a touch to win In the crazy world of the spoty market I guess Hammy could drift that far |

to win pga*

By:
Matched as low as 1.28, dear god
|
|
By:
Ive come out of semi retirement to back Rory for spoty at odds against after 3rd rnd of open. A big Lol at the petulant F1 chump with the fastest car being more popular
|
|
By:
Having said that Ive laid all the 1.28 and 1.3 and probably some 1.2 soon ;)

By:
Rory has the Ryder Cup to come as well next month - could still shorten further if he has a starring role in that.
Overall in recent years the petrolhead vote has been much stronger than the golf vote so agree Hamilton a good call at the current prices |
|
By:
Zara Phillips won it, which says a lot about those who vote in this. Jo Pavey, looks good value now.
If she wins the 5000m too, she'll look better still. |
|
By:
Is she in the 5000?
Wouldn't back her a current prices, but certainly keep an eye on her Real contender if that had been on BBC1. As it is, it still will have had a higher audience than the PGA |
|
By:
Yep, she's in the 5000 too. No idea if she's a good thing, but the European Championships tends to be soft when it comes to the distance races.
Unless the scandis have imported a couple of Africans to run for them |
|
By:
How good she is is fairly irrelevant tbh. All about the story that will be filling women's mags for months to come
|
|
By:
True. No one will care who she beats. I was just wondering if she's a good thing for the 5000m. Not even a market on here. I guess because of doubts over who will line-up. I can't see any prices on the HS either
|
|
By:
Same as the C games, just no markets
I wanted to lay Jonno Tommo for the heptathlon as a hedge ![]() |

The markets would be like the wild west really, competitors added as the field was announced lol
|
|
By:
That's how we like it
|
|
By:
ofc when fancyfanny wins at the Gymnastic Worlds Jo will be long forgotten
|
|
By:
She'll knack her fanny on that beam thing

Sympathy vote

that must be why people look at Mrs mach with a look of sympathy

By:
lol mach
Just looking, still nothing about coverage of this years World Champs, but last year they had some on BBC1. |
|
By:
^ obsessed with fanny
Makes a change from c0ck |
|
By:
You're the one who started talking about beams
It's the type of sport that women like. Something a little dancey. Torvill & Dean without the ice. And Dean |
|
By:
5000m field average. I reckon she can win. If she doesn't she still won the 10000m.....
40 year old mum of 2, versus, 25 year old multi millionaire who binned of his girlfriend after the wedding invites went out....hmmm. I wonder where the casual vote might go?? |
|
By:
Fair point Kev, but you need that critical mass of coverage
I'd say not enough mems will have heard about Jo yet, but it could happen. The glossy mags but be falling over themselves to get her in |
|
By:
Also agree about the dubious voting appeal of Rory
Hammy will beat him if he wins the title imo . While he's hardly Mr Personality either, I think he's won more friends this season |
|
By:
I agree GB. Plus Hamilton & McIlroy may not even bother turning up.....
I think Jo Pavey will get in the top 10 to phone vote anyway, and then she could build up some momentum in the last week or so. It's a vote on the night only as you know, so I'm sure her "story" will pan out well, specially if she doubles up later this week. In the meantime fingers crossed Rory dumps another girlfriend via twitter or similar! |
|
By:
Don't need any luck for Rory not to win

|
By:
So someone grabs all the 6 on here
![]() Still a truckload left on the HS |

long may the drift on rory continue

topped up a small bit more on Murray 100.0-120.0. Think he would easily be single figs if he wins US Open which he's a shade above 5/1 for
|
|
By:
Got a 5 figure Muzza green. I don't think he can win, hence I have a sizeable US open red
|
|
By:
Not sure why he's so short!
|
|
By:
Re Murray. Not sure anyone ever won 2 on the spin?
No cyclists this year, no footballers, no cricketers. When you think about it, they may have trouble rounding up 10 for the list! Time for a woman to win I think, after so many men winners, so Jo may well get some special coverage on the run up & on the night itself. |

Who?
|
|
By:
That's the problem with womens sport, they don't get equal coverage.......apart from Athletics of course:-)
|
|
By:
..and gymnastics
|
|
By:
I've given a gymnast a good coverage before
At least that's what she said she was in the advert |
|
By:
Hmmm!
I suppose so re the cover, but you only see the gymnasts at the big games.....plus not many are 40 with 2 kids. I remain hopeful....and it gives me an interest all the way to Xmas. |
|
By:
If Claudia had 2 kids then her chances would be significantly reduced
