Paris 2024 Olympics bonus offers

Online bookies roll out all sorts of betting bonuses, promotions and specials for the Olympics Games. These might include:

• Bonus bet refunds
  It is quite common in horse racing for bookmakers to offer refunds on win bets when a runner finishes second or third. This kind of bonus can also apply to Olympic events. For example: a bookie might run a deal where if you back Mack Horton to win gold in the 400m freestyle, you get your stake back up to $50 in bonus bets if he instead takes out silver or bronze.
• Boosted odds
  Casual punters are often attracted to promotions that promise better-than-standard odds on the favourites. These markets usually come with strict bet limits, but they can offer real value to recreational gamblers who don’t wager large amounts.
• Multi specials
  With so much sport going at once, the Olympics are perfect for tying several different wagers together to make a multi bet feature. Many bookmakers offer bonus bet refunds for Olympic multis where only one leg fails, while some even have preset Olympic multi specials with enhanced odds.

The must-see events of Tokyo 2024

Every Summer Olympic Games has events you cannot miss, and Paris 2024 will be no different. Make sure you get yourself in front of a screen for these showstoppers.

• 100m sprint
  Since Usain Bolt’s retirement, the sprinting world has lacked a clear successor. Lamont Marcell Jacobs’s surprise win at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics highlighted the uncertainty. With the 2024 Olympics approaching, speculation is rife about the potential champion. Expert opinions, based on odds from various online bookmakers, reveal the top contenders for the men’s 100m title. Fred Kerley (USA) holds impressive titles but ranks fifth in the bookies’ estimations. Andre De Grasse (CAN) sits fourth, despite past Olympic success. Akani Simbine (RSA) shows promise, placing third with notable Diamond League wins. Ronnie Baker (USA) ranks second, known for consistency in Diamond League competitions. Trayvon Bromell (USA) emerges as the favorite, backed by past achievements, despite recent injury setbacks. As anticipation builds for the August event, the stage is set for a thrilling competition, with potential for surprises.

  

• Marathon
  No event embodies the traditions and the spirit of the Olympic Games quite like the marathon. Kenya did the double at Rio 2016 with Eliud Kipchoge taking out the men’s race and Jemima Sumgong saluting in the women’s event and also secured the double at Tokyo 2021. Can Kenya do the unthinkable and win the double in the 2024 Paris Olympics?
• 4x100m freestyle relay
  It is difficult to single out any one of the swimming events, but the 4x100m freestyle events have delivered some massive moments in recent Olympiads. The USA have been dominant in this sports, with Australia coming third in the 2021 Summer Olympics, can they secure Gold in 2024?

Best bets for Aussie gold at Paris 2024

Australia came away from Japan in 2021 with 17 gold medals, beating the last Olympic tally by nine gold medals. Australia secured sixth place in the total tally’s with 46 medals. Can Australia improve its rankings in 2024?

• Load up on the swimming events
  The Aussies won nine swimming finals at Japan 2021 and could well improve on that mark in Paris. The women dominated, with nine of the eight gold coming from the women’s events. Can the likes of Emma McKeon and Kaylee McKeown defend their multiple titles.

  

• Can we bounce back on the track?
  Australia collected only one cycling medals – a bronze – at the 2021 Olympics. That is a far cry from the six gold, two silver and three bronze we picked up on the track back in 2004. Six wins at the 2019 UCI World Championships showed the talent is there, but can our star cyclists deliver the goods in Paris?
• Don’t ignore rowing or sailing
  The Aussies have a rich history on the regatta, but national interest in Olympic rowing has rather faded since the days of the Oarsome Foursome. Nevertheless, we have claimed gold in the rowing at all but one Olympiad since 2004. Also keep an eye on the sailing, where we have picked up nine gold medals over the last six Summer Olympics.
