Michael Phelps Odds to Win Gold at London Olympics: Excellent Betting Value
Michael Phelps odds to win the gold medal at this year’s London Olympics were pretty good at 1/2 to win a gold medal (8/5 odds were available on Phelps not winning one). These odds were available at Sportsbook here.
Phelps has some pretty stiff competition in fellow American Ryan Lochte, who was listed at 4/9 odds to win a gold medal.
Phelps is a betting favorite in five of seven swimming events. He won eight of eight in the last Olympics, hence the reason the 1/2 odds of winning a gold medal had such great value.
These are betting odds featured across the board with numbers varying. Most wagering options available at Sportsbook here.
