The wrestling events at the 2012 Summer Olympics games begin on August 5th and there are medals being handed out every day from then until the end of the Games. In total there will be 18 wrestling events at these London Olympics. These include men’s greco-roman wrestling, men’s freestyle wrestling and women’s freestyle wrestling. Both men’s events have 7 different weight classes, while the women have 4 weight classes in wrestling.
Online sportsbook SportsInteraction.com is our top rated bookie for betting on wrestling at these Olympics. They are a trusted online sportsbook with a great reputation in the industry. Sports Interaction doesn’t accept American residents though, so if you reside in the States you should sign up at 5Dimes.eu.
Olympics Wrestling Betting Options
There are two bets you can make on Olympics Wrestling. You can wager on each individual match and you can also bet on the outright winner of the event at any weight class.
The head to head odds will be moneyline odds where you win the bet if your wrestler defeats his opponent.
The outright odds will pay more, but you will only win the bet if your wrestler goes all the way and wins the gold medal. For example in the Men’s 120 kg Greco-Roman wrestling event there are two main wrestlers who are favored to win the gold:
Riza Kayaalp 2.20
Mijain Lopez Nunez 2.38
Then the rest of the wrestlers in the event have odds between 9.00 and 46.00. You can place a bet on Kayaalp to win the gold and you will win $220 if you place a $100 bet.

In order to bet on the 2012 Olympics Wrestling events you first need to open an online betting account. As mentioned earlier I suggest signing up at SportsInteraction.com if you are not from the United States (5Dimes.eu) if you are. Click on either link to open an account at the site.
Then you will have to make a deposit in order to have funds with which to bet on the wrestling events. If you sign up to Sports Interaction through a link here at BetOnIt.org you will receive a 100% matching bonus up to $125 on your first deposit, so I suggest taking full advantage.
