    Vegas Tomorrow.. Olympic Betting?

    Going for 5 days but first time ever during the Olympics.. I understand that you can place wagers on basketball but what about the others? Soccer seems like it would be up but what about swimming and the other events? Anybody know.. Thanks for the help

    No betting on the Olympics of any kind. Considered an Amatuer sport traditionally by the NV gaming board.

    Can't wait to hear how they don't think NCAA football and basketball as amateur - when in fact, they are being played by amateur's, by definition.

    Whereas, the vast majority of Olympians are actually professionals in their sport.

    I am going to say it is easier to rig Olympics than major NCAA games.
