Who's had a bet so far?

I've had a couple as follows, only a few quid E/W.

Kristoff for Green at 20/1 (3 places)
Froome for KoM at 5/1 (3 places)
De Marchi for KoM at 80/1 (3 places)
Demare for stage 1 at 12/1 (4 places)
Kwia for GC at 150/1 (3 places)

The last one was placed after wine in about April. D'oh!

    Paddypower are doing head to heads on each stage which interest me - a few years back I used to make money on betting on Cadel like this on non-GC stages.

    I now vow that I will bet £5 on one of these bets on ever stage and see it goes. (I've done this on every game in the World Cup and I'm about even at the moment). I will post my picks and progress here.

    Good luck. I'm going to do a fiver here and there on stages too. Been between £50 and £100 up for the last 2 years. Had Quintana at 28/1 and J-Rod at 18/1 last year.

    I used BetFair last year, should I consider anyone else? I only ever gamble on the Tour.

    Frank 50/1 for mountains (e/w)
    Kristoff 25/1 for stage 1 (win)

    Only problem with Betfair is the lack of liquidity in the markets, assuming you're talking about the exchanges.

    I'm definitely tempted by Reichenback for top 10. Nearly went for that earlier.

    Not that I'm aware of. Blindly nationalist bet.

    Colombia 7/2 to beat Brazil. Wrong sport, but good odds - Brazil not a great team and Colombia very good.

    I'm liking that too. I might go for the draw though. Not looked at the odds yet.

    Anybody found a market for Cav not to win a stage?I think he may get one or two but worth a punt if a decent price IMO

    No, have had a look though as I have a feeling he isn't going to win any this year too.

    Coral just gave me a £5 free bet, don't know why.

    Anyway, I invested it in a treble at approx 9/1 on stage 1.

    Demare & Greipel to beat Sagan
    Kristoff to beat Degenkolb

    Some interesting odds on Bet Way

    ETA - I think I'd want better than 67/1 on Bennett or EBH for today

    Bet365 would have had a price for +/- 0.5 stages in the stage wins markets. No chance you'll get it now though obvs.

    I've taken to this betting lark for this years TDF. For Stage 1 I HAD (and lost):

    Fabian Cancellara to win @ 150/1
    Winning Margin to be 2+ Seconds @ 21/1

    (You have no idea how much I was cheering when he attacked).

    For the rest of the tour:

    Simon Yates Young Rider Classification Overall @ 26/1
    Over 0.5 Rider Stage Wins for Fabian @ 20/1
    Over 1.5 Rider Stage Wins for Alberto Contador @ 11/1
    Fabian Cancellara Podium Finish Overall @ 501/1

    Then i have some more that I'd best not post.
