40/1 Victoria Pendleton to win SPOTY?

That was an amazing documentary about her tonight.

I found my getting all unnecessary at times.

If she wins gold, 40/1 will look huge imo.

Much rather back her at 40/1 than Wiggins at 6/4.

still underestimating the cyclist with the chops i see.... you underestimate the British public's ability to recognise somethings really special imo

Obviously he's really special.

But he's prob going to win another couple of tours unless he tests positive for drugs.

Only one Olympic games in London.

This will be the third so far!

Wiggo himself aint so special but an englishman winning the tour is huge. Farah is the only other contender really.

You can have Wiggins, I'll have any Olympic gold medalist.

Anyone else wins, bet void.

£100?

It is already the 2nd in MY lifetime. To be fair, 3 in my lifetime must be a 10/1 shot, maybe more.....

This is more up-to-date than some people manage.

UFC 151 is on 2nd September so still a while away yet.

The main event is Jon Jones vs Dan Henderson.

Jones is 25 and at a real physical peak. He's unbeaten in the UFC with 10 wins and no losses. His only career 'loss' came as a result of a disqualification because of illegal elbow strikes. He's ranked the number 2 pound for pound fighter  in the world. I've watched almost all of his fights and never seen him even coming close to being beaten. He's almost unfightable. In 3 of his last 4 fights he's beaten the top 3 contenders in the division. He anihilated two of them.

Dan Henderson is an experienced veteran and excellent fighter but he's 41 years old. A very tough guy who's never been knocked out but does have 8 losses on his resume (it is an impressive resume tbf). He's slower than Jones by far and has been beaten by a few guys that Jones has taken apart.

I only checked on William Hill and Jones was 1.17. I feel that Jones is constantly underpriced given how fking amazing he is and would say he loses this fight less than one in ten times which imo makes this a good bet.

I know it's short which might mean you guys aren't keen to bet this but if there are any special markets then given Henderson has never been knocked out it really might be worth betting on him to lose by KO or something as Jones has a unique knockout power and unorthodox style and ridiculous speed that Hendo hasn't fought against before. If anyone knows where I could see any extra markets on this fight, I'd appreciate a link.

Top tipping Cos, thanks.

PS - Welcome to Fred.

Looks like a good portfolio there.

Jones is just ridiculously good, I can't imagine him ever losing. BUT, love Hendo so will be hoping he can pull the H-Bomb out in the first round.

UFC markets are notorious for being put up late, I've seen some of the sites only start offering the 'method of victory' markets etc on the Thursday night before the event. I don't think you'll get a special price for the stoppage.

Got any thoughts on this weekend? I'm writing my usual article for the Fight Lounge, PM me if you wanna bounce a few ideas about.
