Types of Olympic Bets You Can Find at Unibet

There are hundreds of Olympics sports, all containing multiple events and rounds, so there’s always something to bet on when the Olympics roll round. Learn the types of Olympics bets here.

 

Moneyline Bets

Simple moneyline betting is what most people enjoy. So, what is a moneyline bet? If you fancy an athlete to win their event, you would place a moneyline bet on this to happen. Fancy Andy Murray to win his tennis match in the men’s singles? Click on his winning odds and add your stake in your bet slip to place a moneyline bet. 

 

Over/Under Bets

Over/under bets may sound a little tricky, but they’re actually really simple. You just need to get the hang of it. Basically, you are betting on whether the total number of something (medals, points, goals, offsides, etc) will be over or under a certain amount. For example, do you think Team GB will do extra well in this year’s Olympic Games? Bet on them to win over 18.5 gold medals. This means they would need at least 19 golds for your bet to win.

 

Prop Bets

You may have come across prop betting if you’re a fan of sports like football and rugby and NFL. You place what’s called a “prop bet” on smaller events within a match or game. These could be things like individual player performances (such as Player of the Match or the player with most points scored). It could also be specific outcomes like the team with the least points scored.

 

Outright Bets

Think you know who’s going to win an entire event? Got a strong hunch about who’s going to top the medal table after the final event? Place an outright bet on the competition winner to really put your money where your mouth is! These are also sometimes called futures bets.

 

Live Betting

Many bettors think that live betting is the way forward, and we agree. Betting while the game is happening live in front of you is exhilarating, and you can take advantage of features like cash out to win money from losing bets. You can bet in-play with so many Olympic events right here at Unibet.
