Summer Olympics 2008

[rbedgood]

Well I'm going to put something together and thought I'd get it started...the Summer Olympics this year are running from Aug 8-24th. I will have the thread open, but the odds on some events will "close" as those events finalize. Likely the entire betting will close by the 19th or 20th. I will take ideas for additional events through Aug 1st, and will put up a lot of events, but don't be offended if I don't put yours up as I may not have any idea on odds.

I am getting so sick of the gymnastics judges.

Yeah I heard that Alicia Sacramone was robbed by the judges, did they do something else to someone else. Wouldn't suprise me .. almost seems as if they were threatened by the Chinese government, China will get better scores or you wont make it out of the country.

ONe could argue the womens team comp as well as a few of the individuals we competed in.

Hell, Luiken got robbed on uneven tonight.

...and the first medal may be about to be stripped. Some European man-chick apparently 'roided up for the Heptathlon.

[rbedgood]

Well settled the bets...there were some big winners on Phelps...

FYI 2 Athletes had medals stripped for doping, the silver medal in women's heptathlon and a Vietmanese Gymnast lost 2 medals.

US came close on the "redneck" prop bet, but host nation china slipped by us and 2 other countries to win that title.
