London 2012 Betting

The 2012 London Olympics gets underway with the much anticipated opening ceremony on Friday 27th July and from there the action will begin.

There is a feast of sporting events for spectators, betting enthusiasts and the armchair sports fan as a total of 302 events take place over two weeks. With so many sports on show, there is likely to be plenty of interest in the betting and there are sure to be a vast array of odds on offer from bookmakers.

You can get the latest odds, betting news, athlete profiles and everything else you need to know about the Olympics by visiting our dedicated London 2012 Mini-Site.

London 2012 has attracted plenty of criticism for the way tickets were allocated but there is sure to be plenty of attention from those lucky enough to get tickets for the 100m final. For the rest of us, we will be able to watch all the action on the tv and take advantage of a variety of offers from online bookmakers.

Usain Bolt will surely be the star attraction as he bids to break the 100m world record again and defend the 200m title he won in Beijing in 2008.

But it is not just the athletics that will grab the attention of the world, as there is also the football, tennis, cycling, swimming, rowing and many more sports for punters to enjoy and have a bet on.

And of course with each of those sports there is a variety of betting markets, from picking a winner in the ante-post betting to first goalscorers, and of course live in-running betting.
