Betting on the Tour de France
The Tour de France race is coming up just around the corner right now and the
odds makers at the online casino betting shops are predicting which of the
racers is most likely to take home the title. Lance Armstrong has taken home the
winning title of the Tour de France seven times already and this will be his
last race – without a doubt Armstrong is hoping for a sentimental last win at
the Tour. On the other hand, Armstrong is now older and there are accusations of
drug use that have some online casinos predicting that Armstrong is most likely
going home with third place this year instead of first because he simply can’t
ignore the fact that his body has aged and he may not be quite the same
competitor as he was in years past.
Armstrong has been given a likelihood of winning third place by the bookmakers
and none of the odds will go much higher than that. Up for winning spot is
Alberto Contador according to most of the top online casino bookies. Contador,
Spain, is the favorite in the competition and that status, coupled with the fact
that Armstrong has won seven times, has tensions high between the two Tour de
France competitors. In fact, the situation is incredibly tense between the two
and this has made a lot of rivalry not only between the competitors but the fans
as well have taken sides and many are heading to the online casinos to place
their bets on Contador rather than Armstrong.
Amid all of the odds making at the online casino betting sites are also the
rumors and accusations that Armstrong has used performance enhancers this year.
Floyd Landis has pointed fingers at Armstrong and claims that the bicyclist took
the drugs in front of him. Landis’ credibility though is low because of previous
issues Landis himself has had with illegal drug use. |
