Some Olympic Wagering Opportunities

Add together THREE of your usual betting units and bet TWO parlays:

56% on Argentina-Brazil OVER 2 -120

the remaining 44% Argentina Money Line +157

EACH hooked to Will the 200m World Record be Broken? YES-- +180

IF you're NOT allowed to parlay, then just take TWO units and:

38% on Argentina-Brazil OVER 3½ +358

62% Will the 200m World Record be Broken? YES-- +180

 

IF you don't have access to those type of bets AND / OR you need a safe / drop the bankroll / bet the mortgage   type bet:

 

then just do a straight Argentina-Brazil OVER 2 -120

 

Some thoughts midstream:

We based our recommendations 'widespread' offerings seen on the web.
The ideal lines would / should have been: Over 2½ & Over 3 in the above examples... we didn't see those offered. Heck, it was hard enough to find any lines offered at all.

2½ would've been ideal in order to bump the payoff into the plus side(100+). And 3 obviously is a lot safer than 3½.

And getting a higher than EVEN payoff is key for us-- we rarely accept a lower payoff unless we really like a side.

 

As far as the game itself--if you watched it-- the total goals should've been a lot higher-- between an unjustly disallowed goal, to a crossbar hit, to a few open misses(vs solitary goalkeeper). All that in spite of both team's defensive game plans....

 

BTW It's very important to perform parlays manually as much as possible. Of course, a lot of that depends on whether your book is prone to slow grading and/or unexplained early bet closing times.

The benefits are:

1. Almost all the time the payoff is larger.

2. After initial win, one can pull back and guarantee some profit.

Of course, one MUST be disciplined, in case of initial loss, to manually continue the progression with the required amounts.

 

PS Always check during a game we tout-- we are always looking to dutch or hedge with In Game or Halftime bets.

 

Re 200 Metre FInal:

Don't be surprised if Bolt breaks 19 second barrier-- he's that freakingly good.

 

Told you so. He needs to take up 400m though-- not for serious racing, but that will seriously focus his training & perfect his 200M performance.

We have another selection for tomorrow, stay tuned.
