2024 Paris Olympics day 15 betting tips and free picks | 10/8/24

It’s the penultimate day of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, but there are still plenty of medals up for grabs across a variety of individual and team sports. Here are our best bets for Day 15

Athletics: Men’s Marathon

Facing one of the most challenging marathon courses they will ever run, expect many of the world’s best runners to struggle with the elevation in this event. As a result, look for runners with experience in hilly courses such as Uganda’s Victor Kiplangat. He is a former world champion in mountain running and won gold at the 2023 World Athletics Championships. At +275 with top olympic bookmakers, back Kiplangat for the victory.

Water Polo: Spain vs Australia Women’s Gold Medal Match

Australia produced an almighty upset in the semi-finals, knocking out the three-time defending gold medallists USA. However, they face a Spanish side that has been dominant throughout this tournament, highlighted by their own victory against the USA in the pool stage and a 10-goal win over Canada in the quarterfinals. Silver medallists in Tokyo, back Spain to go all the way as favourites at -175.44 with BetOnline.

Soccer: Brazil vs USA Women’s Gold Medal Match

Four-time gold medallists in this event, the USWNT should be very confident as they enter another gold medal match. They have been dominant in this tournament so far, scoring 11 goals, while conceding just two. Brazil were lucky to make it out of the group stage with just one win, so back the USA to secure victory inside 90 minutes at -109.89 with leading soccer betting sites.

Athletics: Men’s High Jump Final

Following the thrilling two-gold medal result for this event in Tokyo, the men’s high jump is once again expected to be a hotly contested contest. While not one of the top favourites for this event, USA’s Shelby McEwen ($8) enters these Games in hot form after a recent silver medal performance at the World Indoor Champions. He was the only athlete to qualify for the final with a perfect record and with Tokyo gold medallists Gianmarco Tamberi and Mutaz Barshim both under an injury cloud, back McEwen to secure a medal at +160 with PlayUp.

Athletics: Men’s 5000m Final

Looking to avenge his disappointment in the 1500m, Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen enters this event as the clear favourite. Winner of this event in the 2022 and 2023 World Outdoor Championships, the Norwegian looks a safe bet to win the gold at $1.40 with Neds.
