Betting odds for 2017 London: Bookies say Jager has 60% chance to win gold, Ajee just 9.09%

Wow. I'm not much of a bettor, but those look like really good odds. I mean I don't think I woud have bet Kam or Tola at those odds, but all the rest, I really like that.

You have to get on board early with PP track betting,

I've backed: Chelimo @ 66/1; Wilson @25/1; Jager @8/1; Kam @8/1; Tola @8/1; and Korir @ 10/1.

Is Dibaba out of the 1500? can't find her in odds.

No, I am seeing her at 9/4. I think that is a solid bet.

How are you all betting online? Is there an easy website where you can just put in money and wait (and that's not sketchy)? I thought gambling was made much harder in the US.

You could always use bitcoin. I mean, I haven't done it, but I presume you can.

There are plenty of reputable sites out there, but not all have track and field. I use sportsbook and they only have bets available on who will win, not on who will medal. They also don't have all of the events up yet (no mens 5k or steeple for example). I have never had trouble getting my money from them. There are different ways to deposit money but I just use my credit card.

How about mcgreger and mayflower ..what's the money line on that fight..?

I use bovada - it only has "outright winner" though, no medals.

Don't just create an account to bet the world champs as you usually have to "rollover" (bet 200-500$ total if you deposit 50$) your money a few times beforehand you can cash out (which is common among all websites).

5dimes will work if you have an American Express. Top rated and I've never had a problem getting paid.

My verrrryyyy rough math. If you flat bet $100 on 'the field' against every favorite in every event so far in these Championships, you'd be up $800. Returning 8-1 is darn good.

I had had $50 on Bosse 51/1 before the heats in the 800. Lost $100 on Kszczot at 21/1

That's an amazing cash. Congrats.

If Semenya is 1/6, I don't think it makes sense for Ajee Wilson to be 10/1, surely Niyonsaba is still a favorite over Wilson? What are the odds for Niyonsaba (and Wambui)? I think I'd bet against Wilson but that's a tough way to make money... 40:1 seems pretty generous for Lipsey as well.

I'd bet on Justin Gatlin winning because I strongly dislike him, so either I win money or he loses.

Donavan Brazier at 9:2 for a medal seems pretty good, I'd put money on him.

14:1 for Paul Chelimo as well; isn't Chelimo most likely to win after Farah?

Jenny Simpson 16:1 for a medal -- I'd put most of my money there.

Ayana is tricky, 8:13 puts her as a huge favorite but we just have no idea what shape she's in.

Fun to look back on this. Too bad I actually didn't put down money on Simpson! Gatlin too for that matter :/

amazing!
