The United States Men’s Olympic Basketball team is a 27.0-point favorite against Brazil on Tuesday.
Kevin Durant (-175), LeBron James (-175), and Anthony Edwards (+105) are the most likely USA players to score 15+ points vs Brazil.
Anthony Edwards has +200 odds to be leading Team USA in total points after scoring 26 points in Puerto Rico.

PARIS – The men’s Olympic basketball quarterfinals cap off on Tuesday with the United States as 27.0-point favorites against Brazil. With USA’s Olympic betting odds set at -100000 on the moneyline, betting on player points props is the best way to find value in the game.

USA Olympic Basketball Odds Vs Brazil

Team	Spread	Moneyline	Total
USA	-27.0 (-110)	-100000	O185.0 (-105)
Brazil	+27.0 (-110)	+2500	U185.0 (-115)

Team USA handily beat their group-stage opponents by an average of 21.3 points per game, but they’re just 1-2 against the spread. There’s a betting market at Olympic basketball betting sites for players to score 15+ points in the game, which offers solid odds for top American scorers.

USA Vs Brazil Odds To Score 15+ Points

Bruno Caboclo (BRA) -175
LeBron James (USA) -175
Kevin Durant (USA) -175
Anthony Edwards (USA) +105
Leonardo Meindl (BRA) +150
Stephen Curry (USA) +115
Joel Embiid (USA) +300
Devin Booker (USA) +325

Both Kevin Durant and LeBron James share -175 odds to score 15+ points against Brazil after each scored 20+ in the first Olympic game against Serbia. However, neither player has scored 15 or more points since, making Anthony Edwards at +105 the better wager to score 15+ points on Tuesday.

Betting Anthony Edwards To Lead USA In Total Points (+200)

Anthony Edwards currently leads the USA Men’s Olympic Basketball team with 50 total points in his first three games. He narrowly leads Kevin Durant (48 points) and LeBron James (43 points), who have the same or shorter odds to lead the team in total points.

Leading USA Points Scorer Odds

Kevin Durant +150
Anthony Edwards +200
LeBron James +200
Devin Booker +1400
Anthony Davis +2000
Stephen Curry +2000

Edwards exploded for 26 points in 17 minutes against Puerto Rico on Saturday, leaving Durant (11 points) and James (10 points) behind despite playing less minutes. The +200 odds for Edwards to lead Team USA in total points is the best bet on the 2024 Paris Olympics for men’s basketball.

Olympic surfers will compete in Teahupo’o, located on the French territory island of Tahiti. It’s the farthest medal competition outside of the host city in Olympic history, and it’s nickname of “End of the Road” references the danger of the reef break waves.

Florence (+350), Colapinto (+1000) Top Bets For Surfing Gold

Brazilians make up three of the top 10 spots to best the dangerous waves, but it’s the two Americans who stand out on the Olympic surfing betting odds board. John John Florence is the No. 1 ranked surfer according to World Surf League (WSL) and has +350 odds to win the Olympic Surfing gold medal.

The 31-year-old has responded strongly from two ACL tears prior to a ninth-place finish at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Florence is the WSL points leader with a win, three second place finishes, and two fifth place finishes this season.

His fellow countryman Griffin Colapinto’s Summer Olympics betting odds at +1000 are undervalued. Colapinto is the No. 2 ranked surfer in the World Surf League standings thanks to a win, three top five finishes and three more top 10 finishes.

Beijing Winter Olympic Games Still Set To Take Place Says IOC

Giovanni Shorter — Fri, 07 Jan 2022 22:09:51 +0000

The International Olympic Committee states that the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games will still take place.
Sportsbooks host +1600 odds for the event to be canceled and +800 odds for it to be postponed.

BEIJING – The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games are still set to take place despite the outbreak of COVID-19 that has affected the world.

Earlier, Switzerland’s Olympic team voiced concern over the event, requesting things to be delayed. This prompted Olympic betting sites to host odds for whether to event will be canceled or not.

Odds On 2022 Olympics Cancellation

No -10000
Yes +1600

Odds at popular sportsbooks show that betting fans expect the Olympics to happen, and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) confirmed the notion in a recent statement.

Addressing the Switzerland team directly, the IOC ensured that the Olympic games will take place and begin as originally planned with no delays.

"The issue of postponement is no longer relevant to all of us," said Ralph Stöckli, Swiss team in a statement translated to English. “We can now concentrate on our task: creating the best possible conditions for the Swiss delegation during the four weeks between us and the opening ceremony."

The IOC originally postponed the Tokyo Summer Olympic Games by one year during the initial COVID-19 outbreak. This set the schedule back for the Winter Games as well.

Sportsbooks are also hosting Olympic betting odds for whether or not the games will be postponed as well.

Odds On Beijing Olympics Being Postponed

No -2500
Yes +800

The Winter Games are set to begin on February 4, 2022, which is less than a month away. When the Summer Games were postponed, the announcement came four months before the start date.

With it being so close to the Winter Games, it is unlikely that things are postponed beforehand as reflected by the odds.

The Winter Olympic Games in Beijing will see the world’s top winter athletes compete for medals and glory. It does not seem like anything will stop this event from taking place.

Fan Zhendong Heavy Favorite For Olympic Table Tennis Gold

Giovanni Shorter — Sun, 25 Jul 2021 06:52:32 +0000

Fan Zhendong of China has -125 favorite odds to beat the Men’s Individual table tennis event.
Zhendong has been ranked No. 1 in the world since 2018.
He is a 23-time singles winner.

TOKYO – Fan Zhendong’s strong showing in the last few years has him being the runaway favorite at online sportsbooks to win the gold medal for Men’s Table Tennis at the 2021 Tokyo Summer Olympic Games.

Zhendong is currently ranked No. 1 in the world, a position he has held on to since 2018.

This will be the first time Zhendong competed in the Olympics.

Zhendong’s fellow Team China teammate Ma Long won the gold during the 2016 Rio Olympics. Long has the second shortest Olympic betting odds to win the gold at online sportsbooks.

Betting Fans Pick Fan Zhendong

Tokyo 2021 - Men's Individual

Fan Zhendong (CHN) -125
Ma Long (CHN) +138
Tomokazu Harimoto (JPN) +1000
Lin Yun-Ju (TPE) +2000
Dimitrij Ovtcharov (GER) +3300
Mattias Falck (SWE) +3300
Timo Boll (GER) +3300
Hugo Calderano (BRA) +4000
Jang Woo-Jin (KOR) +5000

Zhendong being favored is no surprise. The 24-year-old table tennis champion just recently won the ITTF World Tour in Austria, China, and Germany. He also holds wins at the 2019 Asian Cup Table Tennis Tournament and the able Tennis World Cup (Men's Singles).

He has been held on the number one World Ranking with his shake attack playing style and has defeated multiple World Champions along the way, including beating Olympic gold medalist Ma Long at the 2020 ITTF Men’s World Cup Dusseldorf.

Ma Long did get the better of Zhendong a few days later at with a 4-1 win at the 2020 ITTF Finals, but Fan remains the favorite to win the gold.

The Olympics will be a new experience for Zhendong but he is no stranger to high-level competition. China is poised to continue its long dominance of table tennis at the Tokyo Summer Olympic Games with Fan Zhendong leading the way.

Best Bets For This Weekend’s Olympic Soccer Matches

Nick Mazone — Fri, 23 Jul 2021 13:22:15 +0000

Brazil are -390 favorited over the Ivory Coast on Sunday.
Mexico is a minor betting favorite over Japan with +145 odds to win.
Spain has -340 odds to beat Australia for their second straight victory.

TOKYO – With 14 matches scheduled to take place this weekend, there are a couple of Olympic soccer bets that stand out a bit more than the rest.

Brazil vs Ivory Coast

Brazil is one of the favorites to win the gold medal on the men’s side so it may be unsurprising to find them as a favorite against the Ivory Coast.

However, some may argue that the Olympic betting odds should be even more in favor of the Brazilians.

Brazil vs Ivory Coast Moneyline Odds

Brazil -390
Ivory Coast +950
Draw +450

Depending on the individual, -390 might be a little too expensive to justify betting on which is why the Over 2.5 goals may be the best bet of the match.

Brazil vs Ivory Coast Total Odds

Over 2.5 -180
Under 2.5 +145

In their first matches of the Olympics, the total of Brazil’s game was six and the total of the Ivory Coast’s was three. Given that Brazil has the ability to hit this mark itself, Olympic soccer bettors should feel confident in the Over in this spot.

Mexico vs Japan

Mexico has arguably the most impressive performance of any team in the opener of the Olympics with a 4-1 win over France.

Japan looked solid as they took a 1-0 win over South Africa, but not nearly as dominant as Mexico did. Mexico are minor favorites in the matchup that leaves value on both sides.

Mexico vs Japan Moneyline Odds

Mexico +145
Japan +185
Draw +220

It’s never smart to base an entire mindset off of one performance, but Mexico looked good enough to tail until the streak ends. Mexico was likely undervalued to begin the event, and their big win in their last performance shows why.

Spain vs Australia

Spain is pegged as the favorite to win the gold medal, likely due to having six players from the Euro 2020 semifinals team joining the roster.

Despite drawing 0-0 against Egypt, this is still likely the best team in the tournament.

Spain vs Australia Moneyline Odds

Spain -390
Australia +850
Draw +420

There are other odds offered on sports betting sites such as Spain -1 at -105 odds or the Over 2.5 goals at -120 odds. While that could be enticing, the best bet for this Olympic soccer match may be to just lay the juice and take the Spaniards on the moneyline.

Olympic Soccer Odds Favor Spain, USA For Gold

Jimmy Reinman — Tue, 20 Jul 2021 16:32:01 +0000

The odds for the Olympic soccer tournament have Spain (+200) and Brazil (+275) holding the shortest odds on the men’s side.
Team USA is the natural favorite on the women’s side with -180 odds to win gold.

TOKYO - The sides for the Olympic soccer competition are now official and betting odds are being unveiled for the competition.

Olympic soccer is a tough draw for many fans as the biggest players in the world are rarely present for Olympic competition due to the under-23 rule for the men’s teams.

The women’s teams have full access to players, but few expect anything other than another dominant showing by the USA Women’s National Team in Tokyo.

The Olympic sportsbooks have now released odds on the competition, with Spain and Brazil as the favorite for the men’s tournament.

Soccer Men's Tournament Winner

Spain +200
Brazil +275
France +500
Argentina +800
Japan +800
Germany +900
South Korea +1600
Mexico +4000
Romania +4000

The men’s competition at the Olympics typically takes a backseat to the epic international competitions being held in the Summer like the Copa America and European Championships due to the lack of star power.

Only U-23 members are allowed on the squad for the men, with the exception of three ageless players that can be added to the squad if desired.

In the past, these exceptions have been used to bring some star power to the Games. Neymar Jr. was the most famous instance of this, leading Brazil to gold in Rio 2016.

Spain comes in as the favorite and is led by veteran Marco Asensio. Their biggest competition will be Brazil, which are bringing in a true ringer in Dani Alves to lead their squad.

Bets for this competition are advised to be placed in the group stage. Each of the teams is surrounded by mystery, and only after seeing the squads play together can you make an educated bet on who will win this competition.

There is much less mystery on the women’s side, where Team USA is predicted to perform at an elite level once again.

Soccer Women's Tournament Winner

USA -180
Netherlands +600
Great Britain +800
Brazil +1200
Sweden +1200
Japan +1400
Australia +2500
Canada +2500

The US women are bringing back much of their elite 2016 gold medal squad including stars Megan Rapinoe, Alex Morgan, Carli Lloyd, Julie Ertz, and more.

The US women are in tremendous form, and just wrapped up a win over Mexico in their send of series ahead of the Games.

Anyone looking to bet on Olympic soccer this year should place their money on the USWNT now instead of later.

Once the competition begins, it is likely that these odds top heavily in favor of the USA as they steamroll through the group competition.

A US loss at any stage in the Games would be a massive disappointment.

Gold Medal Odds For UK, Canada, Brazil, Australia Now Available

Jimmy Reinman — Mon, 21 Jun 2021 21:59:57 +0000

Odds have Brazil’s over under sitting at 4.5 gold medals - the same as Canada.
Great Britain is much higher with 14.5 golds, as Australia sits at 12.5.

TOKYO – The betting odds for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics only continue to appear across online sportsbooks, with more countries being added this week.

While the USA is expected to dominate the Olympics, some medium-sized countries now have over/under lines for their total Gold Medal count in Tokyo.

Bettors can find all of these odds and more at the top online Olympic betting sites.

Tokyo 2021 - Great Britain Total Gold Medals

Over 14.5 -115
Under 14.5 -115

Great Britain is regularly one of the top countries at the Olympics and will be showing out in 2021 once again.

GBR finished second at the 2016 Rio Olympics in gold medals with 27, far above their projected count at this year’s Games.

The drop is apparently due to lowered expectations for Team GBR in their top sports like rowing, track cycling, and artistic gymnastics.

These three sports alone produced 11 medals for the British in 2016.

Still, the number of 14.5 seems low and bettors should look into the over for the UK in Tokyo.

Tokyo 2021 - Australia Total Gold Medals

Over 12.5 -115
Under 12.5 -115

Next on the list is the former British outcasts from down under, the Australians.

Bookies have the Aussies sitting at 12.5 gold medals, much higher than their final count of eight at the 2016 Games.

The uptick is attributed to a strong group of women representing the country like tennis star Ash Barty and swimming sensation Ariane Titmus.

Other projected gold medalists for the Aussies include Jessica Fox (canoeing), Roahm Dennis (cycling), Matt Wearn (sailing), Sally Fitzgibbons (surfing), and the teams in rowing, swimming, and the triathlon.

With all of these positive outlooks, it might be worth hitting the under just to counteract all the hype. After all, this is a team with just eight medals in their last appearance and adding five more to that seems like a daunting task.

Tokyo 2021 – Canada Total Gold Medals

Over 4.5 -150
Under 4.5 +110

Next up is Canada, who brought home just four gold medals to the Great White North in 2016 but are projected to finish just above that this year.

The Olympic betting odds have the Canadians as a favorite to go over 4.5 medals at -150.

However, the Gracenote model which predicts Olympic winners has the Canadians taking home exactly four medals again.

This, plus the value, means that taking the under of 4.5 is the right pick ahead of the Games.

Tokyo 2021 - Brazil Total Gold Medals

Over 4.5 -167
Under 4.5 +120

Our last county appearing on the oddsboard is Brazil, who sits with Canada at 4.5 projected medals according to the bookies.

Brazil brought home seven medals in 2016, so this would be a stark decline in production atop the podium.

The Gracenote system has Brazil projected to bring home five medals, making their skewed -167 odds for the over make much more sense.

It will likely come down to a few events, like Olympic surfing that will decide if Brazil hits the over here.

Still, with seven medals in 2016, the over is the way to lean on this particular wager.
