Track & Field Olympics Betting Options
There are a ton of events that you can bet on in track & field at these Summer Olympics. Of course the event that is most anticipated is the Men’s 100 metres with Usain Bolt as the overwhelming favorite to once again win the gold medal in the event and be named the fastest man on the planet. Here are the odds for that event from Sports Interaction:
- Usain Bolt (JAM) 1.60
- Yohan Blake (JAM) 2.50
- Tyson Gay (USA) 11.00
- Justin Gatlin (USA) 21.00
- Ryan Bailey (USA) 21.00
- Asafa Powell (JAM) 26.00
After these top 6 contenders, who as you can see are each from either Jamaica or the United States, the odds drop off significantly to 50/1. Most fans believe that Yohan Blake is the only other sprinter with the pace to challenge Bolt and the odds agree.
In the 200 metre event Bolt is an even bigger favorite at 1.57, while Yohan Blake has odds of 2.60.
In total there are 48 track & field events set to take place at the Summer Olympics and you can place bets on every single one at SportsInteraction.com (5Dimes.eu if you are from the United States).
