Will Michael Phelps get his eight Gold Medals? The
bookmakers seem to think so (Olympic Betting
Odds). Phelps is a stunning 1/25 favorite to win the Men’s 200 meter
butterfly.
For betting novices, that means a gambler would have to
risk $100 for every $4 he would win. Grandmaster sports handicapper Joe Duffy said
only half-jokingly, “I think most bookies would give you better odds to wager
on an NFL game after it’s over.”
Should he stumble, sports bettors have an opportunity to
make a fortune. Countryman Gil Stovall is 10/1 and Greek Ionnnis
Drymonakos is next at 16/1.
Phelps is considered more beatable in the 200 meter
individual medley at 1/8. Ryan Lochte is 4/1 and
medal contender Laszlo Cseh is 20/1.
Oh and the 100 meter butterfly may even have some
suspense, says NewBodog.
Phelps is 1/3 with fellow Yankee Ian Crocker the most likely spoiler at 9/4. Frenchman
Frederick Bousquet is 18/1.
