We do well in the rowing and sailing too but my knowledge of names is limited on that lol.
( I'll have to get back to you on the others ... Like HB .. needs a bit of study and thought ... I'll edit in later. ;D )
Ok, edited. Come on Team GB :) And Good luck to the Great Britain football team of course. ;D

( I'll have to get back to you on the others ... Like HB .. needs a bit of study and thought ... I'll edit in later. ;D )
That's not i had to study it....honestly, i think Olympic Games don't suit so much for a game like this, so probably i'll gonna call me out, this time
-
I am not going to enter this one, with our little country (the netherlands) we never stand a chance to win, because of the little number of athletes we send.
So no bet from me this time
-
The point is this: in Olympic Games, every nation have strong and worst discipline. Of course, if i have to bet for Italy, i'll gonna choose the discipline i know we are good and this mean everyone can do the same.
So, i'm thinking on a different way to make this bet, but honestly.....i can't find one i like. too many variables and frankly, i do not know what to choose to not benefit a team or another
-

I think this one need to be moved in the contests section :) , its a little "competition too .
-
You're right Rukya. I didn't move it because I thought it's more Off-topic. And if we don't get more gamblers until Friday I close it.
-
I'm taking a look at old Olympics score......i can't make any promise on subcription, anyway!
-
I lock the topic because there is not enough interest.
May the games begin...
