I don't get it how some people put so much money in the bettings. It's like they know beforehand who's going to win.
If there was one race to put it all it was this. Etixx needed revenge after yesterday
Idk, Cav barely won from Kristoff. I don't think it was dumb of me to bet on Kristoff, but because I was far from sure I only betted 5 PCM$. It's called risk assesment.
I only bet big money when I'm fairly sure a certain rider's going to win, and even then it can still fail (see Martin in WC ITT last year).

Of course, but there's no point bringing real life 'tactics' into this. This game is always won by one guy putting all he has on one bet and gaining big. Starting with 100$ is nowhere near enough to play risk approach, it should be changed you should start with 1000$ to allow for closer approach to that.

No idea if this was already posted, not going to dig back to find out. Terrific image of Ian Stannard following the UCI rules and proving why he has a reputation as a true hard-man!
