2022 Beijing Olympics odds
Sportsbooks get creative when it comes to their slates of available Olympics bets.
You might only have 11 events out there for betting on the Olympics in Indiana, but there are a few routes that companies take to expand those options.
The most popular type of “extra” wager is betting on the medal counts for various countries. FanDuel Indiana already has betting odds up for the country to win the most gold medals in Beijing.
- Norway: -370
- Germany: +750
- Russia OC: +1,000
- Canada: +1,500
- USA: +1,800
If you’re looking to get even more granular, then you can wager on the counts for individual countries.
For example, will the USA win over or under 8.5 gold medals this year? The USA’s over/under for total medals is set at 22.5.
The list goes on and on since these options are available for all of the different countries participating in the Olympics.
Sportsbooks will release more types of wagers closer to the start of the games, so check back in with your favorite online sportsbook for the full list of options.
