What do you like? Lyles seems way too low to me.
For the uninitiated minus mean bets that much to win 100. So -150 means bet 150 to win 100.
Plus means if you bet 100 you win that much. So +400 means bet 100 win 400.

So if you bet -800 on the men's 4x4, you get your $800 back plus 100? That's the only one that seems like free money. I wouldn't touch the men's 4x100 with a 50 foot pole. Also not sure why Michael Norman is -125 or whatever. I'm not sure who will win, but don't think it will be him. Maybe Gardiner or neikerk.

Yeah you are correct. Bet 800 and win 100 plus your investment back (900 total) if USA 4x4 wins. I got Baker +550 (100m) in Las Vegas (Boyd Gaming) this week. Most of the lines seem pretty sharp at this point. I also have Reese +300 in LJ. It's pretty wide open but she seems to always get a 23 footer where the others need to pop one to hit 23. Cheruiyot is huge favorite at -175. Jakob +250 then Stewart Mc +1400 and centro +2000. I don't remember the others other than Rai and Dalilah were over +250 which caught my eye as possible values.
I wish you could bet on the field. I would possibly take the field in the 4x100 vs the USA, as well as the 400h vs mclaughlin. As upsets, of course.
Men's 110m hurdles has juicy odds if you think anyone can beat Grant Holloway. Always a chance of a fall/dq
Van Niekerk at +250 is too high.
I thought the same about Dalilah at first, but Sydney is way too strong in the stretch and will win this one (albeit at low odds)
Halloway and Warholm are free money as is the shot put guy.
What am I missing? None of you sharps like lyles at -150? He’s only lost once in forever and that was to Michael Norman who’s not in it.
Miller Uibo at +500 in the 200 looks tempting. Prandini worth a longshot at +2200.
Ta Lou at +1200 in the 100 seems way out of whack. I'm surprised that fraser-pryce is such a strong favorite.
If Bednarek opens up his form a little, I think he can beat him. Also, de grasse is a wild card. He is trending up. Just haven't seen Lyle's in a while.
Not sure warholm is free money. It will be neck and neck at the finish. I still think dalilah or bohl pulls off a crazy upset. In a scenario where perhaps McLaughlin gets too aggressive and hits a hurdle, loses her balance or whatever. Hurdle races are just weird. We all saw coburn eat it on the steeple pit.
Can you bet on more than one person? Also, no distance events? Is this because they are such a crapshoot no one is really favored?
solid point

solid point, even when he didn't look great at Trials he still won over guys running their all time best

Van Niekerks odds are +600 on Fanduel.. That’s a steal.
I also love Josh Kerr’s odds at +4000.
Yah you could bet as many as you want.
Hard to say on distance. I’m guessing they figure the handle (amount bet) will be so low it’s not worth it. Other sites may have those. Then again they have field stuff which I doubt is drawing too much action. Maybe they’ll show up closer to the events.
I see value with Harrison in the HJ and LJ. Also Benjamin at +225 in the 400 hurdles is enticing.
I like the favorites but there's some value especially picking a person to medal (and not just to win). Kerr and Centro definitely have decent odds and are under the radar as they don't have the lightning fast times of others. Im waiting for 5k and 10k odds to appear. Could be some value in the top Japanese marathoners too as the olympic marathon is a crapshoot. WVN for 400 could be great if he's near top form again.
In FanDuel’s track synopsis it says “We will definitely have a new champion in the 5,000m and 10,000m race as Mo Farrah [sic] retired after capturing both medals five years ago.”
Poor Mo doesn’t even know he’s retired!
Duplantis is a steal at those odds, it's printing money. There has been as sure of a gold medal in T&F in years

Lyles is the big wildcard to me. Terrible year but put it together in the Trials final. Feels like De Grasse is pulling into form in time for the Olympics and that he could drop a 19.7 or so. But no idea what Lyles is going to have. My assumption is this was the plan all along and he wins by 0.1 over De Grasse. But if De Grasse has nice odds (can't open the link on work PC) then I could be tempted to throw some cash that way. Bednarek's had a nice summer, but it's a 2 man race in my mind.
De Grasse is +400. I hear what you’re saying - have just seen lyles dominate so many times I probably don’t have an accurate picture of present fitness.
I saw marathon odds on another site.
EK -215
Cherono +120
Everyone is else is over 1000
Rupp +2364
Osako +1446
