Anyone do some actual betting online WRT to Grand tours?

 

Wonder if there are odds on Adam Hansen starting both TDF and Vuelta this year.

 

Yes i do

Below are my bets for the Giro

 

Outright winner :

Ryder Hesjedal R10 @ 80/1 potential Winning R810

Steven Kruijswijk R10 @ 80/1 Potential Winning R810

 

Top 10 Finnisher:

Deigo Ulissi R15 @ 14/1 potential winning R225

Bob Jungles R15 @ 14/1 potential winning R225

Ryder Hesjedal R50 @ 7/10 potential winning R85

 

Total bet R100, total winning R225 thanks to Bob Jungle, but i cam close to a top 10 finish with Diego for a while and man oh man did that crash of Steven cost me dearly. not as much as it did him though.

Awesome to see Scott!! 

 

Do you use a betting site online? The ones I have looked at are pretty geared for soccer but not cycling. 

 

Steven's crash must have been killer, Bob had a stand out tour.

Use to use Paddypower but then they stopped taking bets from South Africans, Marshall sport is mostly football stuff , don't like bet365 either. I used sportbetting.co.za for the Giro as they had a greater variety of bets to play with. will do the same for all future cycling bets. Nice thing was i opened the account 2 hours before the start of the Giro and as a new account they match your opening deposit up to R1000. so for my R200 opening deposit plus winnings I stand on a balance of R525.

Recently I saw Cavendish winning the TdF at 2,500/1... Not bad when you consider that Leicester City won the Premier league at 5,000/1.

Thanks for the tips! - Link seems to go to a random site. :/

 

I am going to be rich! Come on one of you Yates brothers!

Just hope my riders don't crash out again this year.

 

I'll make my choices after the National Champs races later this month.

YOUNG RIDER competition

 

The list of YOUNG RIDERS will be shown on the ProCyclingStats.com website. Look for the info on the right of the screen (see image below) where it shows the youngest riders.

Since 2000, the white jersey has again been awarded, open for all cyclists less than 26 years of age at 1 January of the year following that Tour. 

Translated into simple terms, any rider born after 01/01/1991 will qualify to ride in the young rider's competition.

 

As of today (02-June), the list on the website has the following riders showing as youngest riders - not all qualify. Click on the name to get their profile, that will show the birthday. Currently, Wilco Kelderman is the last qualifying rider on the list (below).

With that in mind, points for this competition are only awarded as follows:

10 points per day for the rider wearing the white jersey.

Top 10 positions at the end of the Tour receive 20-16-12-10-8-7-6-4-2-1 respectively.
