Olympic Betting Sites – Quick Tip Sheet to Betting the Olympic Games

It’s that time of the decade again where the best of the best meet up from around the world to compete. This year all the betting will be done on the London games starting July 27th. The following is a break down on who we think are the best Olympic betting sites depending on where you’re betting from.

Are you from the United States?
Here are the top sites you can choose from for Olympic betting if in the US.

1. Betonline.ag – I’ve been told this long time sportsbook will be pushing hard this Olympics with additional prop bets and additional bonuses, although no lines seem to be up yet (at time or writing). Always a favorite because they take on all 50 US states. The manager told me they would have favorable USA Dream Team basketball odds.

2. Bovada.lv – Most of the lines are already posted! I think this is my favorite sportsbook pick for the Olympics if you are in the USA. They will be pushing extremely hard to have all their credit card processors going so you won’t get declined upon depositing. One downfall is they don’t accept sports bettors from New York, Washington, Utah and Maryland.

Betting from Outside the US?
Choose this site if you are international (living outside the USA).

1. Bet365.com – You can’t get much better than Bet365. It’s a popular book for all of Europe and has more lines than any other european book that I can find.

Are there any Olmpics Betting Pools?
No, we’ve looked at all the fantasy sports leagues and pool sites and nobody is offering the Olympics. This was very surprising to see that nobody was willing to open some sort of fantasy games for. I guess because the Olympics comes only every 4 years that they don’t profit from it.

Conclusion:

The books will be out in full force this Olympics after struggling to find profitable games after a bad couple years on the bookies. Look for lots of incentives and don’t be afraid to shop around for the best lines. If you want to get your bets in early, try Bovada.lv, as of right now they have over 15 sports already posted with odds ready to bet.
