Strategy

How to keep the cost of the Winter Olympics betting down

  1. Compare the price before every bet

    In the example the expected cost differs by ৳4 per ৳1,000 staked between the dearest and the cheapest sportsbook.

  2. Prefer markets with few outcomes

    Two-way markets spread the margin over two prices. Outright and many-outcome markets cost more per bet.

  3. Keep accumulators short

    At a 5% margin per leg, a five-leg accumulator carries a margin of 22.6%.

  4. Set a limit before you start

    Decide how much you can afford to lose, set a deposit limit where the sportsbook offers one and stop when you reach it.

Frequently asked questions

Where are the next Winter Olympics?

In the French Alps, from 1 to 17 February 2030.

Are the odds on this page live?

No. They are example odds that show how the comparison works. Check the current price at the sportsbook before you place a bet.

Is online betting legal in Bangladesh?

No. The Gambling Prevention Act 2026, passed by Parliament in 2026, replaces the Public Gambling Act 1867. Online or remote gambling carries up to five years in prison or a fine of up to Tk 1 crore, and online betting up to seven years or Tk 5 crore. Section 20 of the Cyber Security Ordinance 2025 also makes gambling in cyberspace, including promoting it, punishable by up to two years or Tk 1 crore. The sportsbooks in our ranking hold foreign licences, such as Curaçao, and a foreign licence does not make betting legal in Bangladesh. Source: UNB.

Where can I get help if betting stops being fun?

Set a deposit limit or use self-exclusion where the sportsbook offers it, and read our responsible gambling and gambling addiction pages. If betting is hurting your money, work or family, talk to someone you trust and seek local support.
