2020 Tokyo Olympics: Men’s and Women’s Golf Preview and Odds
We're still very early in the Tokyo Olympics. But it's safe to say Team USA hasn't had the strong start that was expected, at least not in several marquee Summer Olympics sports. The United States Men's Basketball Team debuted by losing to France 83-76. Women's Soccer got off to an even worse, even more unexpected start, with the USWNT getting demolished 3-0 by its old … [Read more...] about 2020 Tokyo Olympics: Men’s and Women’s Golf Preview and Odds
Baseball at the Summer Olympics: Odds, Preview, and Best Bets
Remember that time the Opening Ceremonies were scheduled, and then the Olympics went ahead and started a week early? Perhaps in an effort to reassure sports fans that, yes, no matter what you've read in the Washington Post, the Games of the XXXII Olympiad are not dead in the water, the International Olympic Committee has yelled "play ball" as a symbolic sign that the 2021 … [Read more...] about Baseball at the Summer Olympics: Odds, Preview, and Best Bets
Men’s Olympic Basketball: Has Team USA’s Rocky Road to Tokyo Changed the Betting Odds?
It's common to find pro-USA (and pro-commercial marketing) bias in Summer Olympics and Winter Olympics betting odds in the modern era. It's not a bad thing.

Women’s Basketball at the Tokyo Olympics: Final Rosters, Odds, and Predictions

WagerBop, for instance, spends a lot of time working to convince readers that no, Team USA cannot be crowned Women's Football gold … [Read more...] about Women’s Basketball at the Tokyo Olympics: Final Rosters, Odds, and Predictions
Women’s Football in Tokyo: Olympic Soccer Odds and USWNT Prediction
The pop-narrative that the United States Women's National Team is too good for its competition to muster a fair fight betrays a lack of historical perspective and wide-lens analysis on behalf of the sports media. Just look at some of the final scores, winning times (relative to silver and bronze-medal times), and team dominations of various events at early 20th-century … [Read more...] about Women’s Football in Tokyo: Olympic Soccer Odds and USWNT Prediction
Men’s Soccer at the Tokyo Olympics: Group C Betting Odds, Preview, and Predictions
It would not be altogether surprising if the Men's Football gold medals from Tokyo go to a team from Group A. France could write another chapter in the rich history of its national team with Olympic bling shining alongside World Cup hardware from 2018. Deep, well-organized national programs like Mexico and Japan could stand to benefit greatly from an U23 format in which … [Read more...] about Men’s Soccer at the Tokyo Olympics: Group C Betting Odds, Preview, and Predictions
Soccer at the Summer Olympics: Men’s Football Group A Odds and Predictions
Our debut Summer Olympics preview took time to lament the lack of futures odds on major sports, including soccer, baseball, and the 100-meter dash. Candidates to supplant Usain Bolt as the fastest Olympian in the world aren't yet handicapped in London or Las Vegas, and neither is a hardball tournament that will include Team USA thanks to an unbeaten performance in the Americas … [Read more...] about Soccer at the Summer Olympics: Men’s Football Group A Odds and Predictions
