    I have just completed a few assignments as a mystery shopper, and ended up with a few free bets at Ladbrokes. I was just wondering if anyone bets on cycling, or what you would bet on if you did? I’ve already bet on Wiggins to win TdF GC at 5/4 and Cav to win Olympic RR at 2/1, which I think were pretty crap odds. Just to make it interesting I placed a bet on Wiggins to win KOM at 80/1. Anyway, just wondered if other people bet too.

    I got Wiggo at 9/1 in Jan for the Tour, very happy 🙂

    Last year I put £20 on Evans in Jan @ 25/1 so I was a rather happy bunny 🙂

    This year:

    £10 on Wiggo @ 9/1 – Placed in Jan
    £1 on Gesink @ 12/1 – Placed on podium
    £1 on Tony Martin @ 20/1 to be placed on Podium

    I make a small profit from cycle betting …. enough to buy my Canyon SLX last year. I backed Wiggo at 25-1 and 20-1 last November to win a few £k. Might lay some on Betfair as he is 6-4 and shorter now.

    Best (but not biggest) was £5 on Rein Taaramae to win the Vuelta stage last year when Cobo’s team mate was with him. Rein was 75-1 with Betfair!!

    Another big win was Cav at 12-1 for WC …. he was about 4-1 by the start.

    Backing Sagan …. not big odds but he wins stages!!

    I had a tenner on Hesjedal to win the Giro at 40/1, and haven’t bet since – probably pushing my luck. Each-way on time-trials is probably worth a go – if it doesn’t rain halfway through then I find those are the easiest stages to predict…

    I think stage wins are quite fun to do, I’ve made lists of stage winners each day for the last three Grand Tours.

    I wouldn’t have made a profit if I’d put £1 on each though 🙁
