The tour is a couple of weeks away, and I am thinking about putting a futures bet on Alberto Contador -160 at Pinny.
Either the Tour de France or the hot dog eatting contest (nathan's) starts my investment season every year, and for the last 4 years I have cleaned up from the tour investments that I have.
I think the odds will get more chalk for Alberto as the days come closer, so I was going to put a large bet down now, and then hedge if I see some contenders come along.
As for daily plays, if it is a flat stage with a sprint finish, don't fuck around, just put the money on Cavendish and eat the huge amount of chalk that comes with it.
I am also going to take Cavendish for the green this year, as I felt that he was fucked over last year and he remembers the taste of defeat.
