Sports bettors looking to bet Olympic odds have nearly endless possibilities following Friday night’s Opening Ceremony. TheLines.com will publish a daily post focusing on what NBC’s flagship program will feature each night. The “Primetime in Paris” show will highlight athletes competing in literally hundreds of medal events in Paris, most of which will have a betting market of some kind. TheLines.com has collected the best Olympic betting options for Saturday night’s featured events.
Saturday Olympic Odds For NBC “Primetime IN Paris”
Saturday’s televised events include men’s swimming, men’s gymnastics, and women’s synchronized diving. Keep in mind when betting these Summer Olympics odds that time differences apply. Thus, many of the events shown on NBC Primetime in Paris won’t be live. So, you’ll want to get your bets in plenty early if you’re wagering directly on the competition televised. In other cases, you’ll just be watching early qualifying, which will help inform your bets later on.

When handicapping men’s gymnastics odds, note the medal podiums wound up the same for the past two Summer Olympics, albeit in different orders. Each time, China, Japan, and Russia made up the podium.
Unsurprisingly, China and Japan find themselves back in top position as the favorites. But note that defending gold medal winner Russia is excluded from the games due to international sanctions.
This day will set the stage for the medal finals in men’s team events plus some individual events.
Some sportsbooks posted early markets for trampoline and rings. Find the top five favorites for each below.

This will be the 400m freestyle final. The top-three finishers will scoop medals for their efforts. Heats will take place directly prior.
Lukas Martens of Germany has the top time this year, followed by Elijah Winnington of Australia. That’s likely the reason Martens is the favorite in these swimming odds.
However, note that in the World Championships, South Korea’s Kim Woo-min narrowly bested them both, with Winnington taking silver and Martens bronze.

China is a very heavy favorite here for good reason. The combo of Chang Yani and Chen Yiwen has scooped three consecutive world titles, winning this year’s “comfortably,” according to February reports.
Australia and Great Britain followed with silver and bronze finishes, respectively.
