2008 GB Odds On To
Fail In Quest For 41 Medals As Olympics Mega Gamble
Develops For the first
time, over £25 million will be gambled on the
Olympics, predict William
Hill who
are betting that the GB team will fail to achieve
the 41 medal haul being predicted by the minister
in charge of sport, Andy Burnham. William Hill
offer 1/2 that GB will return with 40 or fewer
medals, and go 6/4 that they will manage to get 41
or more. Burnham is also
tipping GB to finish ahead of Australia - who were
fourth in the 2004 medals table, and Hills offer
5/4 that GB will finish 4th this time
round. "Gambling
interest on the Olympics is at an all time high -
but it is a bold punter who would gamble big on the
Brits bringing home 41 or more medals and finishing
fourth in the overall medals table." said William
Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe. "In fact, one of
the biggest Olympic bets we have taken so far is
£3000 on the GB team to end up with fewer than
33 medals in total, at odds of 5/6. The biggest we
have seen so far is £9000 on China to top the
Gold Medal table at 1/2." |
