yep, i remember the last ones in greece pretty well, me and the guy i was sharing a place with put a few outright bets on the male and female decathlons because they ran for so long and involved so many sports. a few bookies were offering match bets on some other events, both runners 10/11 shots, we used to pick either side at random in whatever events were on that day and go a bit mental trying to finish ahead of the other. for the last week neither of us had a social life, we just stayed in with the curtains shut and the olympics on, taking turns going down to
ladbrokes to get the bets on and to buy food. id imagine the craic wouldve been even better if it was through the night
i did shite but mark was making 10-40 a night somehow, im sure he was secretly studying the form and odds changes
nah get it up earlyish and ill try and get mark on for a 1v1 thread running through the whole thing once it kicks off. might even fire an email off to him now
