Defending Olympic champion Elaine Thompson Herah is the +175 favorite to win the women’s Olympic 200 metres American Gabby Thomas is the second betting choice at +185 Heats and semifinals are set for August 2-3.

This year, a record six runners have turned in sub-22 second times in the event. So deep is the field that one of that sextet of runners, American Tamara Clark, missed out on an Olympic 200m place despite running a personal best of 21.98 seconds at the US Olympic trials. The fastest of the fast five who made the Tokyo grade is American Gabby Thomas. Her time of 21.61 seconds to win the US Olympic trials is the second-fastest 200 metres ever run by a woman. However, it’s Jamaica’s Elaine Thompson-Herah, the reigning Olympic champion, who’s the +175 favorite to win the gold medal. Olympic Women’s 200m Odds

Daily Racing Tips – Sunday 1st August

Devonport - Race 1 12:00pm AEST No. 8 Van D'oro Van D’oro has been sent to Tasmania after starting her racing career in Victoria and she is well-placed to make a winning start to her time in the Apple Isle. She raced well in stronger races than this during her time in Victoria and she clearly does have some ability. Barrier four suits and she will have every possible chance in the run with Sigrid Carr in the saddle. Bet Now: Devonport Race 1 Devonport - Race 2 12:36pm AEST No. 2 Jackjack Jackjack may never have a better chance to score a maiden race win. His recent form is better than it looks on paper and his record at Devonport is fair. He won’t find a weaker field than this one and Daniel Ganderton is the right jockey to get him home. Bet Now: Devonport Race 2 Devonport - Race 4 1:56pm AEST No. 14 Iskra Iskra will need some luck in running from barrier 14, but she is still good enough to win this contest. This is the first time that he has been se

Tokyo Tips: Day 9 – Sunday 1st August

Ladbrokes is not a sponsor of the Olympic Games, any Olympic Committees or teams. Swimming: Men’s 50m Freestyle 11.30am AEST Kliment Kolesnikov to Win a Medal @ $2.50 The old splash and dash event should be dominated by Caeleb Dressel but the rest of the podium is wide open. Kolesnikov sits at $11 to win gold and is an excellent value option to round out the places. His PB of 21.89 came in April and has impressed in his individual events thus far. Having picked up a bronze in the 100m and a silver in the 100m backstroke, I’ll back him to get on the podium here. Bet Now: Swimming – Men’s 50m Freestyle Basketball: Spain v Slovenia 6.00pm AEST Slovenia to Cover -3.5 @ $1.95 The man against the team, I’ll back Luka Doncic to go off against a very talented Spanish side. On paper, Spain has a better team but as we know, basketball is a superstar game and Doncic is the best player on the court.   Having scored a ridiculous 48 against Argentina, there is no reason he will

World Series Odds After Trade Deadline See Yankees, Giants Get Shorter; Mets Fade Despite Additions

The MLB trade deadline saw dozens of significant transactions The Cubs sold off their entire core with Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant, Javy Baez, and Craig Kimbrel going to four different teams See the updated World Series odds along with the notable acquisitions Even if the Chicago Cubs had stood pat, the 2021 MLB trade deadline would have been pretty significant. The LA Dodgers pulled off a sensational heist, adding Max Scherzer and Trea Turner to their already-World Series-winning roster. Perennial MVP candidate Nelson Cruz weant from the Twin Cities to Tampa. And Joey Gallo (Yankees), Jose Berrios (Blue Jays), Kyle Gibson (Phillies), Jorge Soler (Braves), Starling Marte (Athletics), Kyle Schwarber (Red Sox) also found new homes. When you add in the Cubs selling almost every impact veteran on their active roster, it makes the 2021 deadline one for the ages. The World Series odds have, understandably, shifted pretty significantly. The table below shows the latest odds, the odds
