We’re just days away from the 2024 Olympic Games opening ceremony. More precisely, the event is officially scheduled to start on Friday, July 26th.
We at Winz.io already have a plethora of Olympic Games betting options, be it outrights or bout/match-based specimens.
In this blog, we’ll list out the most interesting categories, show you our current Paris 2024 Olympics betting odds, and share some tangible betting predictions.
So, let’s get cracking!
The Olympic Games in Paris continue to expand their reach, which is one of the main reasons host cities are becoming increasingly more difficult to find.
We’ve climbed to a total of 329 events across 39 sports and that ought to give you a rough idea about just how big the biggest multi-sporting event really is.
Naturally, only a handful of these categories are interesting from the perspective of the average bettor. Several athletics bouts and a few team-based sports are where all the fun is at.
Based on our preliminary research, there aren’t that many valuable 2024 Paris Olympics betting options, though.
But, no worries, we’re here to emphasize the key subjects!
The basketball tournament kicks off on Saturday, July 27th with the first group stage matches. The tournament features twelve nations divided into three groups of four.
The eight best teams proceed to the playoffs (1st and 2nd place teams plus the two best 3rd place teams).
According to the Olympic Games betting odds, Team USA are the undisputed favorites.
At 1.16 to win the tournament, it doesn’t get any better than that for LeBron and the co. The team is packed with stars.
However, the key players aren’t getting any younger, which might pave the way for a surprise here.

No worries, we’ll go into more details regarding the 2024 Paris Olympics basketball predictions later.
For now, let’s focus on the two tennis tournaments 🎾
We’re in for 5 tennis events in total; a mighty combination of men’s and women’s singles, doubles, and mixed doubles.
However, as always, the two most interesting bouts will be the men’s and women’s singles.
Here’s a closer look at the odds for the upcoming men’s Paris 2024 Olympics tennis tournament:
Carlos Alcaraz |
2.63 |
Jannik Sinner |
3.75 |
Novak Djokovic |
4.00 |
Alexandar Zverev |
6.00 |
Rafael Nadal |
9.00 |
Casper Ruud |
13.00 |
Stefanos Tstitsipas |
21.00 |
Alex De Minaur |
26.00 |
Daniil Medvedev |
26.00 |
Holger Rune |
26.00 |
This time around, Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek are in the pole positions. The women’s competition seems a bit more straightforward than the men’s event.
Why? Because Alcaraz will be pressured from all sides by the likes of Sinner, Zverev, Nadal, and of course - Novak Djokovic. It’s going to be a tricky contest, and Winz.io odds perfectly reflect that.
Now let’s focus on the women’s contest and examine the odds:
Iga Swiatek |
1.53 |
Coco Gauff |
7.00 |
Elena Rybakina |
10.00 |
Naomi Osaka |
15.00 |
Mirra Andreeva |
15.00 |
Qinwen Zheng |
19.00 |
Jasmine Paolini |
21.00 |
Marketa Vondrousova |
21.00 |
Barbora Krejcikova |
23.00 |
Jelena Ostapenko |
26.00 |
Despite Iga Swiatek being the heavy favorite in the women’s event, the likes of Gauff Rybakina and even Andreweva won’t be backing down without a fight.
Obviously, 1.53 is hard to beat here, but that won’t make the event any less interesting, that’s for sure!
Now let’s wrap everything up with a few tangible 204 Olympic Games betting predictions:
Women’s Tennis Tournament Prediction 🎾
Roland Garros’ clay courts are bound to create a magical performance in Paris next month. Prediction-wise, Iga Swiatek is on a whole different level when playing on the Parisian clay court. I expect her to cruise to the Olympic title here.
Men’s Tennis Tournament Prediction 🎾
While Alcaraz is the odds-on favorite, I reckon Djokovic will be the player to bet on, despite the fact he’s not been the best on clay courts.
Rafa Nadal won’t lack motivation either, and I reckon the same can be said for Sinner and Zverev too. But, objectively speaking, this one is likely to go down between Alcaraz and Djokovic.
Men’s Basketball Tournament Prediction 🏀
Team USA were almost properly shocked by South Sudan. LeBron’s last-attack magic turned the tides in their favor and a good D cemented the narrow 101:100 win.
This goes to show us USMNT might not be as safe of a favorite as the odds (1.16) predict. You might as well experiment with low-stake bets on the likes of France, Canada, and Jokić-powered Serbia.
Women’s Football Prediction ⚽️
There’s one thing I can say right away - there’s no way Canada manages to win back-to-back Olympic golds.
This time around, the competition is chock-full of stars, with USWNT and Spain posing as the main contenders.
I honestly can’t pick between them, so I’d rather go with something like Spain or USWNT to reach the final.
Men’s Football Tournament Prediction ⚽️
I have to side with France here. Henry knows these guys well and is tactically (and experience-wise) superior to his peers. At 3.25, it might just be the most valuable team-based bet coming into the 2024 Olympic Games.
Women’s 100m Race Prediction 🏃♀️
The 24-year-old American Sha’Carri Richardson is the fastest woman in the world this season. Considering that, it comes as no surprise she’s the odds-on favorite.
The biggest contenders are likely to be Julien Alfred and Shericka Jackson, both of whom have sub-11s performances. But, considering Sha’Carri is in top shape, I expect her to take the title in Paris.
Men’s 100m Race Prediction 🏃♂️
On paper, Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson is the favorite at 2.25. However, he’s emerged onto the big stage much more recently than other top contenders.
But, Kishane does have the fastest personal best of 9.77 which he achieved just last month, which is even faster than Noah Lyles who’s currently sitting at 2.50.
It’s going to be a tight encounter between these two, but I expect Noah Lyles to emerge on top simply because of his superior consistency.
