Can anyone stop Contador? Bet on the Tour de France at Paddy Power, Ladbrokes

An annual tradition starts this weekend when the Tour de France holds its first race, and bookmakers Paddy Power and Ladbrokes are offering all kinds of proposition bets and outright winner markets

For outright winner, Alberto Contador is a big favorite everywhere. While Ladbrokes has the Spainard at a line of 1.53, Paddy Power even offers a special “Contador vs. the Field” proposition bet: Take the field for 5/4 odds in this one. The great American hope Lance Armstrong still gets some consideration at 10/1 odds, but everyone’s a distant second to Contador.

Among the field of French, PaddyPower likes Christophe Le Mevel to be the best among the home country’s riders but he’s getting a line of 301.00 at Ladbrokes to win this tournament outright. Sandy Casar and John Gadret look to do well for France, with 4/1 and 15/2 odds in this prop bet, respectively.

During the Tour de France, Paddy Power is offering hundreds of bets in 26 markets and get two £25 match bonuses for £50 in free bets! Ladbrokes has just as incredible a selection of sports bets and live feeds as Paddy Power, so cash in on Tour de France action at either bookmaker today!
