Basketball • Mens Gold Medal Winner
USA |
Just keep backing up on Great Britain to beat Australia in the gold medal tally, Great Britain to win 22+ gold medals, Australia to win less than 15 gold medals and if you can find odds on Great Britain beating Russia to take 3rd place on the gold medal tally, take that as well.

..wonder how close yohan blake will get..could push bolt |
Cycling road race - Mark Cavendish at about $3.75
They've set this course up so that it suits him down to the ground. They're pinning their hopes on him and it's hard to see him being beaten. |

opals likely another silver..but could easily push for gold..that would be very nice |
Quote:
I wouldn't be at all surprised if he won. If they have betting on just getting a medal, think I'd definitely be taking him. |
..kookaburras had a few injury problems last year but look to be back on track at the right time

Would you believe that the Italian Olympic Committee is the most generous of any nation that finished in the top 10 at the Beijing Olympics, promising its gold medalists £116,000, although they will have to pay tax on that.

mens volleyball gold medal..brazil..$1.75 x2..russia..$4 x1
|
Quote:
Russia is the next most generous nation paying its Olympic gold medalists around £86,000 |

the consensus looks to be between 16-22 gold medals for gb so 22+ certainly achievable on home turf |
Liu Xiang will beat Dayron Robles to 110m hurdle gold
|
Women's Shot Put Gold
Taking Valerie Kasanita Adams ;) |
Lin Dan (China) to take Badminton Men's singles gold
|
Li Xuerui (China) to take Badminton Women's singles gold
|
Unfortunately defending Olympics champion Tom Ashley won't be in London to defend his Men's Sailboard crown
Jon Paul Tobin has gained selection for NZ over Ashley Will be tough but Tobin more than capable on his day A genuine medal contender |
Quote:
Agree, very strong chance to take Britain's first gold Has been making the most of home advantage by secretly testing out the road race course Works for him! |
Quote:
In a purple patch since Ric Charlesworth took over, Olympic Gold VERY achievable! |
Things starting to warm up
The Olympic flame has been lit in Ancient Olympia in Greece, signaling the final countdown to the start of the 2012 London Games! |
Interesting draw for the Men's water polo
Most of the big guns have drawn Group B whilst the Aussies have drawn Group A With a bit of luck The Sharks should at least qualify for the Quarter Final Round |
Quote:
latest prediction 27 gold |
Quote:
can Cavendish get the daily double? tour de france & olympic gold not much of a break between events! |
Huge odds available, Cavendish to finish in top 3, Tour de France!
|
That would be his odds for the General classification comp (yellow jersey). Cavendish will be looking to win the Points classification comp (green jersey) which he won last year.
|
Quote:
At one stage Cavendish was contemplating an early exit from the Tour de France. But I think he intends completing his full schedule now. |
volleyball..olympic qualification women..peru to beat chinese taipei
|
volleyball..olympic qualification women..russia to beat cuba

Simon van Velthooven a strong chance to take a medal in the Men's Keirin
Chris Hoy probably the hardest to beat |

Coach not happy with the draw |
Too many early (a.m.) games so I've read
|
Just reading that track cycling, rhythmic gymnastics, triathlon, modern pentathlon, equestrian (cross country) & the opening & closing ceremonies were sell-out events, weeks ago.
|
And swimming & tennis oversubscribed, random ballot to finalise
