If anyone is interested in backing him before the draw takes place, you can do so at sportingodds.com.

Thats tight considering he's 17 and the draw hasn't been made yet?

I cant imagine there are many named shorter odds than 8/1 is there?

Well, having looked around a bit, there aren't many bookies that have yet listed individual odds on individual boxer.

At lightweight for example, the only other thing I have found is Mario Kindelan at 4/6 against the field....

You can back the whole field against him at odds against....!!!!!

Hmmm..8/1 for Amir might turn out to be good value, who knows? What if he gets a nice draw and then wins his fight two fights (quite possible).... he won't be as long as 8/1 then I'm telling you...

Is anyone else offering odds among the traditional bookmakers?

A few, but only on Amir Khan (that I can see)

Ladbrokes here for example ...but they are only offering 6/1

Sportingodds.com usually offer good value compared to the "big boys" in my experience. The exchanges (e.g. Betfair) might beat the price of course.

11-1 on http://www.bet365.com . You can bet on any of the fighters at any of the weights as far as I can see (although at mo, they still have to add the heavier weights.)

Bet365 always have a lot of fights on and bets, including some small fights.

bantamweight Mamedov worth a bet at 4-1, he beat Rigondeaux last time out i think

Good call! I overlooked them. Bound to be some value here somewhere.

Have any of you by any chance seen a siet where you can bet on sailing in the olympics?

http://global.betfair.com have sailing listed but hardly any prices at the moment. Try asking for your desired price on your selection, you never know your luck ;)

thanks. One of my friends are sailing in the olympics and I want to bet on him to win.

I hope so. He should have a good chance, were 4th in the worlds in the spring and 2nd the in the euros last month. And if he should win, or just medal it going to cost him alot of beers

I bloody love the olympics, I have to say.

I was tempted to take the time off work to just sit there watching it non-stop

Paula Radcliffe looks a sure thing for the marathan eh? The womens beach vollyball is always worth tuning in for also of course.

Women's long jump can reveal quite a lot too...and the synchronised swimming.

i like womens high jump most

I just like women

Paula Radcliffe seems to be very confident this year. Its unusual for her to treat her opponents with the contempt that she has (if the quotes on teletext are true). She usually gives me the air of a quiet confidence rather than bragging how she has beaten all of her rivals and in the sizzling heat aswell.

I thought it was interesting.

Good luck to Amir, if he wins he'll be proving me wrong cause I don't like his medal chances for this games to be honest. Its come a little early.
