With the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics proceeding through Aug. 8, the daily Olympic betting lines provide accompanying fun to the ongoing pursuit of the gold medal on the world’s grandest stage. Televised events are made available on a host of channels and streaming services, which adds invitational ease of access to pick up and play on the Olympic betting lines nearly any time of day. Since there is nothing quite like the combo of national pride with sweating a hot ticket, let’s take a look at some of the best available bets for the Tokyo Olympics for Friday, July 30.
Favorite Tokyo 2020 Olympic Bets for July 30
Women’s BMX Freestyle
(8 pm PT, USA Network)
A clear-cut favorite to win the Women’s BMX Freestyle event, Hannah Roberts of the United States comes in at -225 on the moneyline to take the gold medal. She is coming off a series of first-, second- and third-place finishes on the World Championship level dating back to 2017 and taking down a gold as recent as June at the 2021 UCI Cycling World Championships. Roberts has already begun to cement herself as a staple figure of BMX riding with many years ahead in her bright career.
The plus-money bet comes from Perris Benegas, who comes into the event at +900 and stands as the second-best favorite to win next to Roberts. Benegas took home the gold in 2018 (when Roberts won bronze) and has remained a relevant contender on the scene, as evidenced by her odds being next to Roberts’.
While Roberts had a perfect record in 2019, the -225 odds to win outright make for an unrewarding ticket chase at an event that is anything but a lock for her. By no means is this a direct encouragement to the 9-to-1 payout on Benegas so much as it is getting to a more rewarding payout worth the level of risk feasible to achieve said outcome. Benegas offers plus-money odds to crack the placing ceremony, which she has proven achievable in the recent past.
