USA vs Jamaica Concacaf Gold Cup odds

While a handful of different teams get down to business at the Tokyo Olympics, Team USA soccer will be camped out in Arlington Texas.

This is the third-straight Olympics that the men’s team failed to qualify for.

A gold medal might not be in its future this year, but a different kind of gold could be.

The team has won the Gold Cup six different times in the past, with the last win coming in 2017.

The US will have to get through Jamaica first before it can worry about winning the tournament.

Thankfully for fans that like to bet on soccer, you can wager on all the Gold Cup action in Indiana.

DraftKings Sportsbook has Team USA as the early favorite against this Jamaican squad.

  • USA: -175
  • Draw: +320
  • Jamaica: +500

Oddly enough, Team USA had to take down Jamaica in the final game of its Gold Cup run back in 2017.

The two teams seem to always run into each other during the tournament. They’ve faced off in the last five Gold Cups, with the US taking a 4-1 record in those games.

Indiana’s online betting apps will take all of your Gold Cup wagers.

That includes Team USA vs. Jamaica, as well as the rest of the tournament action.

As far as winning the entire tournament goes, PointsBet IN has Mexico as the slight favorite to come out on top. The US is trailing right behind them.

Here’s a quick look at the odds for some of the top Gold Cup teams:

  • Mexico: +150
  • USA: +175
  • Costa Rica: +1,000
  • Qatar: +1,200
  • Canada: +1,400

On top of that, there are also all sorts of extra Gold Cup betting options out there.

For example, you can bet on the over/under of the total number of goals scored. FanDuel Indiana has that value set at 2.5 right now.

Just like any other sporting events, there’s a litany of prop bets and other options out there including:

  • First and last team to score
  • Total number of goals
  • Exact score of the game
  • Teams to score in both halves
  • Halftime and full time moneylines

It’s worth shopping around a bit at your favorite sportsbooks to find the bets that work best for you. With so many options to pick from, there’s something out there for everyone.
