Olympic Sports Betting

Hello, what do you all bet on during this Olympic Games in Paris?

Hi, that's a pretty good question and a thread like this isn't a bad idea either. But I have a feeling that sometimes it's very hard to choose a sport, I would probably choose tennis and basketball because I'm probably most interested in those and I know the players. What sport do you bet on ? 😀

Thank you for the reply, I am more inclined towards badminton and football, which are the 2 sports that I am actively playing, I had some bets on badminton and football events, could probably say that I am pretty even haha, I won some and lost some

That's a rather intriguing combination of sports! Especially when you actively do both!

Would you say betting in real time enhances your passive enjoyment, though? I had a few friends who used to bet on football yet not a single one were capable enough to watch the matches on TV. 😀

I was so worried that I almost had a heart attack

Why ? Did you bet on a sport and watch it ? Feel free to describe it a bit more. 😀

Hahaha, sometimes I hide away from the matches I bet on to avoid getting myself anxious when betting with high stakes. But I do occasionally enjoy watching the matches I bet on when the results are in my favor and make it more exciting.

What happen? Was something you bet on had a close call or result

I'm glad you do that for pleasure. I mean, why should we put ourselves under additional stress?! 😀 My uncle usually bets higher on tennis, and soon after the match, bagun, he said he had to vacuum the flat soon after the first set. then he really left the rest of the bettors and did vacuuing the flat!

Since then, we used to say, "Do some vacuuming" anytime someone seemed stressed out.

Personally, I'm pumped for judo and weightlifting. There's something intense about watching those judokas grapple and throw each other around - it's like a chess match but with bodies, ya know? And weightlifting, man, seeing those athletes push their limits and lift insane amounts... it's jaw-dropping stuff. Plus, both sports can have some surprising upsets, which makes for some interesting betting opportunities if you do your homework.

I didn't know it was possible to bet on that. I don't think I've ever seen anything like that in the betting office I use, I mean judo. Both sports are phenomenal for the performance and the amount of training people have to sacrifice to do it. I find judo quite boring to watch. It's a very hard sport and I admire everyone who does it, but I'm tired of watching how sometimes one move is made in a whole match. I've watched a couple of matches at the Olympics and it didn't impress me much. I'd probably rather watch weightlifting. 🙂
