Athletics Betting Information and Markets
Although online sports betting bookmakers do not always offer Athletics betting as a distinct category all year round, many will cover major events. Win markets are the standard for most events covered but others are available (for a little variety, also look out for world record markets).
Naturally, the main focus of sports betting bookmakers online is on the Olympics and Commonwealth Games, during which contests we witness something of a betting bonanza for Athletic's fans. Expect a good selection of medalist markets, including win markets and odds for predicting the number of medals won by individual nations.
As for other events, the sports betting exchange Betfair cover the European Cup with win markets in both men's and women's events.
