Summer continues on and as we all pack our bags and head to the beach, we also need to keep our eye on the Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
The 2020 Summer Olympics officially kick off today and bettors have already been placing bets of the gold, silver and bronze variety.
Offshore sportsbook Betonline have set odds for 165 Olympic events, as well as prop bets for each country's overall medal and gold medal count.
Adam Burns, Odds Manager at BetOnline.ag said "It’s not on the same level as football betting, but every two years the Olympics generate a huge handle from professional and casual gamblers,”.
Burns added "Individual basketball games, track & field and swimming are wagered on the most, and we’ll have the largest exposure and biggest number of bets on everything USA."
We've noticed on our site that a single USA Men's Basketball game during the Olympics will generate as much money in wagers as a regular season NBA game.
The United States leads all countries in terms of odds for the most medals (112.5) and most gold medals (42.5). China is second on the board for medal count (85.5) and golds (37.5).
