    What's your favorite Olympic sport to bet on/watch?
    With the summer Olympics starting very soon, we are interested in knowing which Olympic sports you plan on watching and placing bets on if any?

    I'll probably only watch the soccer and golf. The Olympics are boring to me overall.

      I will watch some of those by default - because my husband will watch them. I actually love soccer anyway and don't mind watching golf.

      But my main sports to watch will be gymnastics and some swimming.

      With that said, I will end up watching some I won't even think of but will find interesting anyway.

            It used to be boxing but can’t watch nor bet on it with the computer shit. Watch athletics, swimming and gymnastics. Don’t bet any particular event but might do medals count.

              Volleyball probably. I like watching the BMX racing aswell, however you cant really bet on it.

                I like the team sports.

                Group and Knockout format competitions are best by me, Olympics or regular sport events.

                But will have Olympics on TV in the background all the time its on.



                Also like the swimming. But that is for homer reasons.

                  I don't know about betting on any of it, but I do like to watch a lot of the gymnastics, and some of the water sports like the high-dive. I always forget to turn it on though.

                  If I were to bet, I think I'd bet on medal counts per country - something more tangible like that, since I'm not super familiar with all the athletes.

                        I watch and look for betting lines on synchronized swimming. North Korea has to be the favorite there. I can't imagine having to come back from a competition knowing you lost and having to face the dear leader. He puts such a high priority on timing and order.

                          I'll probably put it on in the background either way - but feel like with the internet and how easily available the results are unless you are streaming it live during the day its hard to really get into it anymore.

                          I remember when they would replay the events in 'prime time' and we would watch with the family and cheer on your country since you'd normally have to wait until the morning paper to see who won. But now any big news about a medal, etc you get notifications as soon as it happens. Just not the same anymore for me.

                                        From 2008 - 2016 during Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt's run, the swimming and track events were can't miss TV.

                                        Now I'm more interested in the basketball and golf. Hoping baseball will be included in the 2028 Olympics in LA and that Manfred lets MLB players play - that would quickly rise to #1 on my list.

                                                          Group and Knockout format competitions are best by me, Olympics or regular sport

                                                          events.But will have Olympics on TV in the background all the time its on.


                                                          Also like the swimming. But that is for homer reasons.

                                                          Here's an Olympic program many would be wise to adopt.
