Olympic Weightlifting Expert Picks

Profiting form Olympic bets requires forethought and an understanding of how Olympic odds and events differ in professional and non-professional leagues.

The key to making money betting on Olympic events is to stick with what we know.

In this blog, we take the idea of making top overlay plays with a single $100.

What are the best Olympic plays to make if we only had $100 to bet?

Check out Olympic betting odds on four plays that, if we only hit a single play, will yield profit from our $100.

 

$25 overlay Olympic betting strategy

The first part of the strategy is to make four $25 bets on overlay odd options.

If we are right on just one of our bets, we profit with our $100.

The second part of the strategy is to only bet on options in which we are familiar.

When it comes to the Olympics, possible bets are staggering. But we don’t want to make bets on sports in which we aren’t familiar.

How many of us, as an example, are archery or rowing experts? Do we know Simon Biles’s top competitor in gymnastics?

Are we really familiar with the best swimmers on the planet and do we know the overlay odds choices in weightlifting?

Our top money making plays happen in men’s soccer, men’s basketball, men’s cycling, and men’s golf.

Check out the top $25 bets for the 2024 Olympics.

 

Writer’s Way on How to Bet $100 in Olympic Futures and Propss

Men’s Soccer – Spain +260 to Win Gold

The odds seem low, but the Spanish should be the chalk. For sure, France, the favorite, will be tough to beat.

However, Spain has a massive edge.

Teams are allowed three players older than 21. Frances top older choice is likely to be Kylian Mbappe.

In the Euro Cup, which concluded this past Sunday, Mbappe suffered a broken nose that could affect how many times he steps onto the pitch.

Spain mustn’t use any of their three older than 21 exceptions on arguably their two best players, 21 year old Nico Williams and 17 year old Lamine Yamal.

Williams and Yamal will dominate the wings in every Spanish game while the Euro Cup champs can add a player like Dani Olmo with their exception.

El Rojo easily handled the best squads at the Euro Cup. The team went undefeated when steamrolling their way to the title.

The Spanish Olympic team should look the most familiar because they are young.

Give Spain a big shot to win soccer gold.

Olympic Soccer Pick: Spain

 

Men’s Basketball – Canada +1100 to Win Gold

Team USA is a massive -500. But as good as the United States is on paper, the Canadians could have the edge.

Canada is much younger than the U.S., which boasts stars like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, and Anthony Davis.

Canada’s star players, Jamal Murray, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Dillon Brooks are three of the top guards in the NBA. Murray and Gilgeous-Alexander might be the two best point guards playing the Association.

Like in the NCAA Tournament, teams with excellent guard play often do well in the Olympics.

For sure, beating the Americans won’t be easy, but the Canadians have the team make up to get it done.

If forwards Kelly Olynyk and Dwight Powell can hold their own versus Davis, LeBron, and the other U.S. frontcourt stars, Murray, Brooks, and Gilgeous-Alexander will be even more effective.

Canada offers much higher odds than it should to win gold.

Olympic Basketball Pick: Canada

 

Men’s Golf – Xander Schauffele +900 to Win Gold

The odds on Scottie Scheffler are too low to place a bet.

Not only that, but Scheffler’s form has taken a slight hit since earlier in the Golf Season.

Xander Schauffele, the PGA Championship winner has been amazingly consistent.

At the first round at The Open Championship at Royal Troon in Scotland, Schauffele was at -2 after 14 holes, just 2 strokes off Shane Lowry at -4.

If Schauffele manages a top five finish at The Open Championship, he’ll head to the Olympics ready to win gold for the U.S. and himself.

Xander is great under pressure and he won’t tee off unless he knows he can wear a gold medal and step to the podium’s top spot.

So at 9-to-1 odds, Xander Schauffele is a great pick to make the U.S. proud.

Olympic Golf Pick: Xander Schauffele

 

Men’s Cycling – Road Race Wout Van Aert +700 to Win Gold

Cycling is a team sport. For sure, most sports bettors only know the yellow jersey Tour de France winners like Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard.

But without cyclists like Wout Van Aert, cyclists like Vingegaard, who rides on the same team as Van Aert, won’t rise to the highest levels.

Van Aert is a road race specialist. He won the 2021 National Road Race Championships and has won 9 stages, which is a lot, at the Tour de France from 2019 through 2022.

Van Aert’s competition in the Olympic Cycling Road Race includes favorites Mathieu va der Poel, Mads Pederson, and Tadej Pogacar.

Tadej won’t be at his best because he’s all out to hold off Vingegaard and win the Tour de France.

Pederson and va der Poel will be tough to beat. But Van Aert offers terrific odds and has the back class to get it done.

Wout Van Aert is a great pick to take home the gold medal.

Olympic Cycling Pick: Wout Van Aert

Olympic Gold Medals Total Expert Picks
 

Previous Betting News

It won’t be long before the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games take place in Rio, Brazil, and we can only hope that the Games are good enough to make us forget about the problems the Brazilians have had with hosting this wonderful event. There have been stories of unlivable conditions at the Olympic Village, zika virus concerns, and a host of other issues that have had people questioning whether the Games should have even been held there at all. These are all legitimate concerns, but there have been problems like this is the past, and they have all been mostly forgotten once the action got under way. The Olympic Games are going ahead, and a few countries are going to be battling it out for the most gold medals. You can bet on who that might be, and the goal of this piece is to give you a number of different options. We will do that by looking at the betting odds favorite, what we believe is the smart pick, and also a potential longshot that might upset the apple cart.

A Closer Look At The Olympic Gold Medals Total Expert Picks

The Gold Medal Favorite

No real surprise here to learn that the United States (-600) are the overwhelming favorites to win the most gold medals in Rio. They have won the most golds in 4 of the last 5 Olympic Games, with the only blight on the record coming in Beijing, where the host nation China won the most. The host nation always gets a little boost, but I think it’s pretty fair to say that Brazil are not going to be challenging for the top spot here. The biggest question that you have to consider here is where the US will go OVER or UNDER the 42.5 gold medal total. The trend has been with the UNDER, but with Russia potentially missing a number of athletes through a doping scandal, it may just the OVER that comes in..

The Smart Gold Medal Pick

You really have to say that the United States are also the smart pick, simply because they have a proven track record when it comes to winning gold. If you are looking for a bit of value with this wager, then China (+300) would have to be considered another smart pick. The sheer number of athletes that they are taking to Rio means that they will have multiple athletes in most events. That alone gives them an edge that other countries simply don’t have. It wouldn’t be a total shock to see China prevail in the gold medal count..

The Longshot Gold Medal Pick

All of the uncertainty surrounding the Russian and their current doping scandal issues makes them an unlikely candidate to land at the top of the gold medal count. Until we know the total effect of their ban, though, Russia (+4800) still has to be considered a longshot possibility. This is not a wager that I would personally make, but the Russians are always there or thereabouts. The athletes that do compete may well be doing so with a chip on their shoulder that will make them raise their game.
