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.

New Odds Appear For The Olympics To Move From Tokyo

Jimmy Reinman — Fri, 18 Jun 2021 16:16:13 +0000

Amid the controversy of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics and the pandemic, new odds have appeared via online sportsbooks suggesting the possibility of the Games moving to a different location.
Odds for the Games to be moved to multiple different locations are available, including China (+1500), the USA (+2500), Spain (+7500), and Turkey (+7500).

TOKYO – The unrest in the 2021 Olympic host country of Japan counties to rise ahead of next month’s Games.

With the country still experiencing high COVID rates, odds have now appeared on multiple Olympic betting sites suggesting a possible move for the Olympic Games.

While the Games are still scheduled to begin in less than six weeks, that doesn’t stop the bookies from jumping on the opportunity to list odds for a possible change of scenery.

Will The Tokyo Olympics Be Moved To Another City?

No -100000
Yes, Moved To China +1500
Yes, Moved To USA +2500
Yes, Moved To Any Other Country +3300
Yes, Moved To Spain +7500
Yes, Moved To Turkey +7500

The listed odds have the Games staying in Tokyo as a massive favorite - and for good reason. The Olympics are a huge project that takes almost the entire four-year period in between Games to produce.

To simply pick up and move the Olympics to a brand new location less than two months from Opening Ceremonies would be one of the most ambitious and daunting tasks ever attempted.

That would mean that the brand new $1.4 billion National Stadium built in Tokyo would go to waste, in addition to the billions of dollars spent on Olympic infrastructure in the state.

The dissent of the Olympics all stems from the still remaining state of emergency in Tokyo due to the pandemic.

A recent poll found that over 80% of Tokyo residents are against the Games happening in their hometown. While COVID numbers have been down since the state of June in Japan, Tokyo is still experiencing around 500 new confirmed cases every day.

As of June 8, it is clear that the International Olympic Committee is going forward with the Games as planned regardless of public sentiment.

“Today we are only 45 days away from the opening ceremony, although the state of emergency is in effect and the situation remains severe nationwide,” said Seiko Hashimoto, the organizing committee president of the Tokyo Olympics. “The number of new COVID-19 cases in Tokyo has started to decrease little by little and we strongly hope the situation will be under control as soon as possible.”

Those looking to bet on the Olympics can find fun odds like these and more at any of the online Olympic sportsbooks.

Basketball New Qualifying Dates For The 2021 Tokyo Olympics Given The Green Light By FIBA

Robert Jones — Fri, 15 May 2020 18:17:03 +0000

Japan, USA, Nigeria, Argentina, Australia, Spain, France, and Iran have already qualified for the rescheduled 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
The remaining Olympic qualifying tournaments dates will be from June 29-July 4, 2021.
Only four qualifying spots remain for the 2021 Olympics.

TOKYO - The world’s basketball authority FIBA, has approved new dates for qualifying tournaments for the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo.

The Olympic qualifying tournaments and Olympic Basketball Games were originally scheduled to take place this summer but were postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

There are only four remaining qualifying spots left for the 2021 Olympic Games and those tournaments will be played on June 29-July 4, 2021 as announced by FIBA in a press release.

The four Olympic tournaments will still take place in their scheduled countries of Canada, Croatia, Lithuania, and Serbia.

There will be a total of 24 teams vying for the four qualifying spots to the Tokyo Olympic Games that will take place from July 23 to August 8, 2021.

Eight countries have already qualified for the Tokyo games and they are the United States, Nigeria, Spain, France, Iran, Australia, Japan, and Argentina have already claimed their spot in the quest for a gold medal.

With these dates now approved by FIBA, the only concern is that some NBA players might be in-season because of the postponement of the 2020 regular season which would potentially keep some of the best international players in the league from suiting up for their respective countries.

"Representing your country is one of the greatest honors in sport," said GlenGrunwald, the Canada Basketball President and CEO.

"I know our players will see the challenge ahead of them next summer as one small opportunity to recognize the daily sacrifices of all the front-line workers who are keeping our country safe and operating during this pandemic."
