Summer Olympics betting: LA 2028 and the return of cricket

The next Summer Olympics are in Los Angeles from 14 to 30 July 2028. Cricket returns as a T20 event with six men's and six women's teams, alongside new sports such as flag football, lacrosse and squash.

Strategy

How to keep the cost of the 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.
