Total number of gold medals
The most popular long-term type of bet, where the United States made the clear favorite of the bookmaker's analysts.
BC Betcity offered to put on “TB / TM” the total number of won gold sets of awards. The Russian bookmaker in the line for the US national team set TB (46.5) for 2.25. It is curious to find out where the analysts got exactly “46.5”. To do this, you need to look at the final results of the 2016 Summer Olympics held in Brazil.
5 years ago, Americans won 46 gold medals. This figure was used as the basis for determining the total and the odds for it. But this is bare data. Five years ago, American athletes could have won such a number of high-standard awards, but now they do not. The competition will be held in Tokyo.
Consider the high motivation of the Japanese athletes who have won 12 gold medals in Brazil. Here the bookmakers decided to play it safe and offer bettors to play within the TB / TM (27.5) against the hosts of the tournament – this is much more in comparison with Brazil.
But here it should be borne in mind that in Japan 5 new sports are included in the program:
- Rock climbing;
- Surfing;
- Baseball;
- Skateboard;
- Karate.
In the last sporting direction on the list, the hosts of the tournament are obliged to win in several categories.
It is curious to look at the “total” of China. In Brazil, they won 26 medals. In the upcoming Olympics, Betcity analysts decided to make a division within the framework of “36.5”.
From the list presented, only one conclusion can be drawn: the Chinese and Japanese are obliged to add in preparation for the competition and, due to overwhelming motivation, to collect more gold medals in comparison with the Olympic Games in Brazil. Because of this, the Americans will obviously take away less gold, which allows them to bet on TM (46.5) for 1.57
When choosing a bet, you need to carefully study the overall standings for each sport, the main competitors. And on all this to impose the motivation of the hosts of the tournament and their closest neighbors in the Asian region.
Tennis Winner Betting
At every Summer Olympiad, tennis is a focus of attention.
The favorite in the men's category is the leader of the world rankings, Djokovic. Bettors use 2 strategies for betting on the winner of the tournament.
Pre-match bets
The “Fan” theory is applied, when several parallel bets are placed on 3-6 clear favorites. The bet amounts can be calculated using the bet calculator in order to get a total profit if one of them wins.
It should be noted that before the Olympics, athletes will take part in Wimbledon. This tournament takes place on grass. The tennis championship in Japan will be held at Ariake Tennis Park. There the coverage is hard. Rating athletes who have managed to reach the high stages of Wimbledon will have to immediately rebuild from one type of coverage to another. And this is a difficult moment even for the tops. Usually, athletes take part in low-rating tournaments of a new coverage in order to gradually reach their peak form for popular competitions. This will not happen here. This can lead to unexpected misfires.
It's risky to bet on the winner before the tournament starts
Tournament Bets
Experienced bettors prefer to choose a promising option during the championship, when 2-3 rounds of the main draw have passed. This will allow you to understand the current form of the participants, their strengths and weaknesses: accuracy of serving, psychological and physical condition.
In the first rounds, a strong athlete can get microtrauma and not finish the tournament. In the later stages of the playoffs, you can see who will meet whom on the grid. Based on such data and bookmaker odds, promising options can be found.
Working strategies of the game can be studied in the section “Bets on Tennis”
Karate Winner Betting
For a long time, karate was not included in the Olympic program due to the large number of its varieties. The organizers refused to hold competitions in each direction, it was a utopia. But at the 2020 Olympics, karate is included in the program and it will be held according to the rules of kate and kumite – traditional for Japan. This is a real gift for the host country, which must be taken into account when playing long-term types of bets.
You can try to bet on the victory of a Japanese athlete by odds 5. Analysts at BC 1xBet could not identify a clear favorite. Here it is necessary to take into account the motivation of Ryutaro Arag. For Asians, the home field factor is often critical.
There is a good betting option among the women's competitions, where a representative of the host country of the tournament is also among the favorites.
Football Winner Betting
Top football countries rarely send their main squad to the Olympics. This will not happen now. Euro 2020 and America's Cup were held in June-July. The top national teams of the European and South American regions have spent a lot of energy there. Ranked footballers need time to rest. Then they will start club training. Rating European championships will start soon, so Brazil, France, Germany, Spain will put up 2 or 3 rosters.
Japan will clearly gather the strongest players. The national team of this country has high potential and at home, due to overwhelming motivation, is able to demonstrate strong football.
The results of the Japanese this year are impressive. Weak opponents received devastating defeats. But since the Japanese outplay them so confidently, this speaks of their chic form. The strong Serbs surrendered with a score of 1: 0. And now it's worth looking at the odds.
12 for the success of the hosts of the tournament is a bias. At this ratio, you can take a chance and bet. True, it is better to wait for the announcement of the lineups for the Olympics. But this moment was described above
Basketball Winner Betting
In this form, everything is both simple and complex at the same time. Bookmakers for men and women have made the United States a clear favorite.
It makes no sense to bet on Americans at such a meager coefficient. Playing on the side of your closest pursuers is risky. This market is closed for many bettors due to poor prospects.
Summing up
There are many low-rated markets within the Summer Olympics: surfing, skateboarding, sport climbing, etc. If you want to play in such sports areas, you must carefully study all the participants and wait for the start of the competition. While following the course of the tournament, it is better to listen carefully to the commentators. Former professional athletes in poorly popular sports are constantly invited to the programs, and they provide useful information. If all this allows you to find a promising bet option, you should place it in a bookmaker's office. It won't help – it's better not to bet anything and just enjoy the competition we've been waiting for.
