Why Bet on 2008 Summer Olympics?
By bettingfool | August 21, 2008
I remember at this time four years ago, things were pretty quiet on the Olympic betting front. Now we’ve been bombarded with opportunities to bet on nearly every single event in every single sport. Most people couldn’t even name anyone in the women’s javelin competition, let alone handicap the event.
That’s what makes the Olympics such a great betting opportunity. It only takes a little effort to create a knowledge gap between you and the betting public. And in individual events like the javelin where it’s the athlete versus the elements, the ones who produce at the highest levels tend to win over and over again until the next hotshot comes along.
Barbora Spotakova of the Czech Republic is 1-2 in the aforementioned women’s javelin; she’s the reigning world champion and has repeatedly proven herself better than the competition. You’ll find an army of heavy favorites like Spotakova in the athletics events. It’s a chalkeater’s paradise.
