@seaningle hi Sean, hope all going well in Paris, enjoyed reading your work as ever! Any thoughts on the marathons this weekend? Thought Lemma at 15/2 and Obiri 15/8 were the bets at first glance
@dickiedosh Hahaha yeah forgot that one. Really should have sailed over that 16.5. Half of those we’ve mentioned and it’s over already never mind with what’s to come
@dickiedosh It’s a big list. Tarling puncture, Peaty getting Covid and losing by 0.02, Richards losing by 0.02, Amber Rutter judging farce, 2/7 and 2/5 in the kayak cross finals getting beat, Wilson in the windsurfing, Reilly in the BMX freestyle and ofc Kerr and Hudson Smith last few nights
@dickiedosh Completely agree, just the vast majority of those fine margins have gone against GB so far. Of course there was Yee and Pidcock that went the right way but at least 7/8 gone the wrong way so far
@dickiedosh Yeah happy with the bet but doesn’t look like we’re going to get the result does it! Very narrow path now. Chances in both taekwondo tomorrow, both modern pentathlon, KJT in the heptathlon and of course plenty in the cycling but very little room for error now
Think Sha’Carri a generous price at 10/11 for the women’s 100 final. Rumours she didn’t even get to warm up before the semi final and just had to run. Regardless she did look very easy in the semi and whilst Alfred looked great, would make Sha’Carri a bigger fav than she is

This went almost exactly as predicted. Main bet of Denmark podium wins easily which is the main thing. Unfortunately they just miss out on the outright by a very small margin
Dressage Team
This looks a very tight battle between Denmark and Germany (would have been GB too if not for Dujardin’s WD). The 3 mentioned should be well clear of the rest barring disaster so Denmark to medal at 8/11 with SkyBet looks a cracking bet. Also on at 11/2 outright
Men’s Eight
Another GB crew to have dominated the cycle, only losing once. Double World and European champs and whilst a few of these have been tight races they have shown an ability to respond under a lot of pressure. I make them odds on shots so backed at 13/10 with Coral/Lads
Women’s Lightweight Double Sculls
Great Britain have been the most dominant crew in rowing this cycle, one of only 2 crews to go unbeaten for the whole cycle. Paddy Power’s 5/6 far too big and has to be backed
❌ very rough morning of rowing results, losing bets in the women’s double, men’s four, women’s four and the Acca
GB in the women’s four at 7/2 a tough one to take, great bet just didn’t get the result
Men’s 1500m
See this as a 50/50 between Ingebrigtsen and Kerr so at the prices the nod has to go to Kerr at 2/1. Whilst Ingebrigtsen has the faster times, championship races are very different to the diamond league circuit. Kerr also beaten him the last twice
