Listed as a midfielder on the Sportinglife team. It would be tough to see him lining up in the back 4 as they have 5 defenders in the team too tho according to that link they are playing 4-3-3 with Driver and Templeton playing either side of Sutton.

Apologies if I missed this, but surely Federer is a great bet @ 5/7 ( this is price on bf, oddschecker doesn't have anything listed) ? Murray has to play two doubles matches today so will be pretty tired, plus Federer will want it pretty bad when he's never won a Gold medal. Also light rain showers predicted for most of tmoro and Federer pretty much crushed him with the roof down and is regarded as the best indoors player. Federer's been there and done it so many times, add in the doubles factor today and I though Federer would be below 1/2.

Negatives to the bet is, although I didn't see much of it seems Murray was incred against Djokovic. Also not as much pressure on him as normal since everyone's distracted by the fact we are binking Gold's all over the place.

Those 2 are wingers and I would doubt McGowans playing playing behind Sutton

Men's volleyball (indoors)

This is the only sport where I could expect to know more about the game than the average odds complier..

There is a massive divide between those teams that can, and those that have absoutely zero chance.

Group A is the soft group.  Bulgaria are noticeably improved, won every game so far and in Sokolov, have a fantastic go-to man in times of need.  Poland and Italy are other "possibles" and everyone else "any price you like"

Group B is the group of death.  Brazil, USA and Russia ~ no need to look any further.  Brazil as clear leaders in FIVB rankings came in as hot favourites, last night got their arse handed to them by USA.  It was a great game, definitely worth a look if you can get it on video replay.

The USA team were highly effective, the stats support it but as most won't understand the stats, I will turn it into layman's language.

Clayton Stanley plays in the key role opposite setter, was frighteningly effective, an olympic veteran.  The Brazilian block were unable to get anything on him, and Stanley was equally impressive when attacking from the back court as he was from the net.

Lambourne was an impressive Libero, almost unnoticed by the untrained eye.  His backcourt pickups were as you would expect from a world class libero, his service reception was amazing, just about everything landing on the setter's head.  (i.e. points where they should be in trouble returning, were now fine counter-attacking opportunities)

Suxho as setter is obviously pivotal.  His distibution of the ball at the net was good, his ability to organise and execute 3man combination attacks mid-rally is one of the main reasons the Brazillian block was ineffective.  His ability to turn awful first ball into A1 attacking opportunity was lovely to watch - where most setters are content to use a backcourt option as an out or simply a high ball to position 4, our man would think nothing of producing a perfect fast ball through position 2, whilst at full stretch in the opposite direction.

Priddy whilst a short-arse has a jump like Alton Byrd (who remembers him?) and an uncanny ability not to be inconvenienced by the presence of a 3man block.

Anderson and Lee were the other standouts, more-so in attack than defence, but there is absolutely no weakness on court from a starting 6 from ^^.

USA are available at 5/6 for a top 3 finish. BLSQ.  Feels like it should be waaaaaaay shorter.  Wouldn't put anyone off 4/1 on the outright (LADs) either.

Would strongly recommend the place bet to FRED.

I cannot even find this bet now, Simon, Blue Square now seem only to be offering it up for Ladies Volleyball, sorry.

If it is still available anywhere, & the price still reps value, let me know please. Looks like everyone got on except Fred!

Good luck all.

You missed the boat it seems, line moved to 8/13 and is currently unquoted. 

Yes, my absence yesterday was one of those things, but at least half of blonde got on, thanks Simon, & I think Dubai has offered to assist Fred.

A wonderfully reasoned bet, too.

get booked in the first thirty seconds!

[bobby1]

It looks promising, our guy has been booked for a challenge on St Johnstone defender Callum Davidson and had a shot at goal.
