olympics and bets

A bit more than halfway through a really unimpressive Olympic games. I have mostly watched the swimming and the track and field events. But I have also seen some handball, football, tennis etc. The feeling after seeing most of what I have seen is that the olympics is really unimpressing.
It is not all the athletes fault that it is the way it is. There are a few more things that are wrong.

1 - Too many sports that shouldn´t be in the olympics.
Tennis should not be an olympic event. It is the same kind of tournament like they play every week. It will never get the same status as a Grand slam and won´t be considered as big as some of the other ATP and WTA tournamnets. It actually feels even less interesting for some players as there is no prizemoney. Apart from that it is also one of the most boring sports to watch. Take it of the olympic schedule.
Also they should change the Womens football if it should be an olympic event. Why not a U23-tournamnet like the men´s is? While the women´s game is just like the world cup, we had a men´s tournament with many surprises.
Make more room for the sports seldom seen instead of having the so many "big" sports. Maybe move some of the indoor sports to the einter olympics instead. Handball, baxketball etc. are mainly played during the winter half of the year all around the world so why not have them in the olympic game sthat is on during the regular season?
Fewer sports also make it easier for the countries to host the games.

　
2 - Really lousy broadcasting
Yes, the BBC might be best in the world when doing crime and drama, but sports they are really lousy at. Like I already said, I have mainly watched swimming and athletics, and the brodcasting from these sports have been really bad at times. There has been loads of strange camera angels and bad producing, showing uninteresting things instead of what really happens. After the races there has been too long waits for replays and often the wrong information has been given. That is, when there has been information. Lack of text information about what event that is on at the moment has been really disturbing.
I thought that one thing that surely must be good when the olympics is held in England is the TV-broadcasts. But compared to Beijing and all recent olympics it is shit. BBC should be ashamed.

　
3- Patriotism
OK, alll countries cheer on their countrymen, but in the London olmpics it is ridiculous how patriotic the crowd is. It is worse than in Beijing and even worse that when the olympics has been held in the home of self-love, USA.
Even the broadcasting has been patriotic. On TV they have rather shown some unknown british competitor than the important good ones. When presenting athletes in track events for example, you always get to see the GB-athlete, then the favourites and lastly the nobodies. Even when the GB-athlete really is one of the nobodies.

　
But apart from all that there has been some good performances by athletes. Some really good swimming with the chinese Sun as the most impressive. Hopefully there have been no use of steroids etc. that will ruin the swimevents, but some americans should be looked at closely. Bolt´s 100 m final was impressive but so far the most impressive track- and field winner was the Kenyan who won the 3000 m steeple chase right before the 100 m final. What a runner and what really sincere happiness he showed after winning. Usually a long, quite boring event was now enjoyable and with a winner like that it made many new fans, I am sure.

oh, one last thing on the olympics. A blue field for landhockey??? Blue?? Looks really bad on TV and has made the sport even harder to watch and follow. Too bad with a sport that sometimes is quite fun and relaxing to watch.

　
Now over to some betting.
2 semifinal bets in the women´s football tonight.
France has impressed me more than Japan this tournament and I think they can beat Japan and reach the final.
In the other semi USA will beat their neighbours easily and I think a bet -1 is the best way to go and even USA to lead at HT is good

Later tonight I have a Spanish treble in Handball, Waterpolo, basketball
