Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics

In anticipation of some substantial betting on the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, online gambling website Bookmaker.com has made things incredibly easy for their customers.

The website has included an easy to find tab at the top right of their page entitled "Beijing 2008". Click on that tab and to the right you will find every event being offered at this year's summer Olympics.

Not all events featured lines but the majority do.

Each link takes the customer to a breakdown of the event and from there one can view the Olympics betting page, which is clearly linked from that section.

Olympic outright winners bets are found listed on the left hand side of the website along with all other lines on the home page as well.

So which country was likely to take home the most gold medals?

China had -350 odds; USA had +140 odds and Russia had odds of +1500. All other countries would pay out $2500 for every $100 bet.

Bookmaker.com was also offering odds on the most silver and bronze medals as well.

China and the USA were pretty even to take home the most silvers. Russia had odds of +575. All other countries were listed with +900 odds.

Near even odds on the bronze for China and the USA as well with Russia having betting odds of +400 and all other countries listed with odds of +650.

Teams like Loyola Marymount (1990), George Mason (2006), Davidson (2008), VCU (2011), UConn (2014), and Loyola Chicago (2018) come to mind when conversations turn toward the most surprising tournament runs in recent memory.
