2016 Olympic Games Betting
We've not even had the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing or the 2012 Games in London, but already bookies are accepting bets for the 2016 Olympic games. Long term markets have already appeared for predicting which city will host the 2016 Olympics.
Hosting the Olympics is a rare privilege for the chosen city. For the duration of the games, the host city becomes the focus of world attention as millions of viewers tune into see the world's most prestigious sporting and athletics event. This is not to mention the economic benfits that follow a succesful bid, although preparing for the event is an expensive business in itself.
2016 Olympics Betting Information
The host city for the 31st Olympic Games will be announced in Copenhagen in 2009. Long term markets are available for predicting which city will make the succesful bid.
Paddy Power place Chicago as a leading favourite closely followed by Toronto, in line with the commonly held view that the next Olympics will move from Asia and Europe to a North American city. San Francisco, Florida, and Los Angeles are also in the running, although current favourites next to Chicago and Toronto are Sapporo, Buenos Aries, Busan, Cairo, and Dubai. Bet365 also take the North America angle, with New York and Chicago as leading favourites, although Sapporo, Busan, and Cairo are again in a strong position. We'll have more betting information on the 2016 Olympic Games as it becomes available.
