Usa 8/11
Jamaica 11/8

Could Bolt get treble gold?
Or do the 4 US 100m finalists take it home?

The Americans do look nailed on for gold. Deciding factor could well be where the Jamaicans run Bolt. Man for man, USA are better 100m but not great on the bends. If Jamaica go for Bolt on the final bend with Powell on the last leg they may be able to give themselves an advantage

Does Tank try and win these days?

If he did I think he could beat Hammer who I don't rate at all

Derrick Rossy is coming in the underdog against Trevor Bryan. Now Rossy is not the best but Bryan is worse. Or am I reading this wrong

Wouldn't bet on the 4x100m unless it was big value. Way too much chance of a false start or baton drop.

Why are the America women 2/5 favourites to win 4x400 gold?

I know Felix won gold in style but Jamaica came 3,4,5,6 and the other American was 7th ahead of ohurugu who gave in at the end.

Jamaica 5/2 seems a steal

Heats tomorrow and the final on sunday.

I've also looked at the 400 hurdles and 200m and the Americans weren't featuring highly there either

I have a little accumm with that in it as well as Farah to win 5000m, Dibaba to win women's 5000m, Asbel Kiprop to win men's 1500m and Barbara Spotakova to win women's javelin. Roughly 14/1

No, no, no on the 4x400m. America have Sanya Richards-Ross and Francena McCorory who didn't compete in the individual event (they botched the US trials) but are both Top 5 in the world. America should walk it.

What a race!

Fair play to you guys! Don't know what happened to Richards-Ross on leg 1 for the US, she's so much better than that.

Was a great finish. I had a wee nibble myself

And on the final leg, the American girl's best this year was 49.83, the Jamaican's is 50.47...

Cheers for that Freddy, had me heart racing on the last leg !

I was jumping up and down urging her on in that last 100m!

It was close but just shows the price was very wrong.

Had a play on rooney today. He seems to go through bursts of scoring goals and after his 3 in the week, 21/10 seems very good vale for him to score a goal

Great tip. Well done

11/4 Warrington inside the distance with Skybet seems too big for me and I have played at that price. PP were also 11/4 they are now 5/2 and Bet365 are being backed and down to 7/4. Just a view I know Josh is not the most powerful but he has a good engine and I think Brunker will come to fight so I think it's worth the risk at that price.

Yeah backing that myself he will know he needs a big performance after his last fight. Also Martin Murray 5/4 to win by stoppage looks a great price he is massive compared to his opponent who I don't has had a lot of notice for this fight if I'm not wrong? Should slowly break him down over the 12 rounds and stop him late

Think that will be my fault you are getting 5/4 on Murray as I got the early 13/8, totally agree with you on that one as well, lets hope we are not sitting here Sat night having watched 24 rounds of boxing!!

Bet365 have gone from 13/8 to 8/11 in the four hours since they opened on Murray to win by Ko, got the price now just got to keep fingers crossed

Any idea who is reffing those 2 fights? Will have a bet if its any of the Matchroom favourites.
