When it comes to betting on the Sochi Games in general, sports fans are likely going to lean toward their home and native land. Oddsmakers, on the other hand, are unmoved by such biases. As a result, despite the US sending 230 athletes to the games (the most of any country), Norway is the favorite to win the most gold medals at the games.

Norway’s +120 odds of winning the most Olympic gold medals lead America’s +250 mark, Germany’s +700, Russia’s +900, Canada’s +900 and every other country in the world.

Betting on obscure Olympic events is much the fun of engaging with the Winter Games though, so betting lines exist for everything from the outright women’s luge winner to the probability of Jamaica’s fan favorite bobsled to win a medal (a ‘Yes’ bet currently pays +5,000).

In the means 500m speed skating you have the option of cheering on a "bum" at a tasty price for a favourite of +300 - and that's got to have some appeal.
