BEIJING --
It's that time again, the 2008 Summer Olympics are almost here. The games are being hosted in Beijing, the People's Republic of China, August 8th-24th. Will the hometown favorites steal the show and take home the most medals? Or will countries like Russia and the United States spoil the homecoming event? Will Great Britain improve on it's 10th place showing in the medal table from 2004?
These are the questions gamblers are asking as we inch closer to the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. With the Summer games less than a month away, online casinos and gambling outfits are slowing beginning to roll-out the betting odds for people interested in wagering on the games.
The most general and broad category of 2008 Summer Olympics betting is the medal table. The medal table is simply a tally of who win's the most medals; gold, bronze, and silver.
So far, the country favored to win the most gold medals overall is China. In second place is Russia, rounding out the top 3 is the United States.
"The 2008 Olympics in Beijing is expected to have the highest TV ratings of all the previous summer games. It's going to be an enormous betting event, especially in places around Europe", says Lee Rockwell, Senior Editor of Online Casino Sphere, who will be traveling to China to cover the games next month.
