Technik 482 Posted August 8, 2020 Laguta is at 30/1 because that's what the bookmakers think his chances are given advise from their staff Speedway is a very small sport in the world of bookmakers & has very little history in gambling. And Russian speedway has had minimal involvment at world individual level since the 60's/70's eras. with all the SGP events now taking part in Poland & Czechia I think these odds are even more generous Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fromafar 10,358 Posted August 10, 2020 Vaculik at 11/1 looks good EW value given the venues of the GP’s.Has been in good form this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having said that there's no "trick" tracks this year so I think going on current Polish form could be a wise move Wouldn’t go near him with a barge pole usually. Over a few weeks however, and in good form, e/w I could be tempted. No value in Zmarzlik (5/2), Madsen (3/1) or Sayfutdinov (7/2) for me. Tai is at 8/1, I can see him raising his game for the GPs but again I don’t think anything under 10s is worth the punt. Stuck a quid on Tai at 100/1 the year he won his first world title. Definitely one of those “if only I’d stuck a tenner on” bets... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iainb 4,996 Posted August 13, 2020 Just done £12.50 e/w on Vaculik at 11/1 returning £200... watch him get injured now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OveFundinFan 4,140 Posted August 13, 2020 I hope you win the £200 Ian, I like Vaculik, just a tad more consistency and he can do it. Mind you, I would be pleased if Madsen won, he deserved it last year (remember the fuel tank incident that robbed him of at least a second in that race). They can’t both win, so let the scrap begin......... soon! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely with the setup of this years series it's going to be more akin to Polish League racing than ever before, Madsen doesn't look fit at the moment, Zmarzlik hasn't really been that convincing away from Gorzow, Woffy's carrying a knock... that's what I keep telling myself anyway Was tempted by Janowski also at 25/1 for an e/w Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
