Olympics Day 11 tips, best odds & medal picks | August 6, 2024

The Paris 2024 Olympic Games continue this Tuesday with track and field taking centre stage. Here are our best bets for Day 11.

Skateboarding: Women’s Park Final

In a hotly contested event, there is excellent value in the medal markets. Great Britain’s Sky Brown is hoping to improve on her bronze medal in Tokyo and enters these Games in strong form, with a second-place finish at the OQS Budapest in April. Known for her innovative trick selection, 16-year-old Brown is a solid bet to finish on the podium again at $2 with leading skateboarding bookies.

Athletics: Men’s 1500m Final

After cruising through his heat and semifinal, Jakob Ingebrigtsen enters the final as the favourite. He is set for a duel with Team GB’s Josh Kerr ($2), but the Norwegian has consistently shown he is faster, with a better personal best and a much faster best time this season. As the defending gold medallist, back Ingebrigtsen to salute again at $1.75 with top athletics bookmakers.

Athletics: Men’s Long Jump Final

While Greek athlete Miltiadis Tentoglou ($1.15) is the overwhelming favourite, there is great value in the rest of the field for the medal markets. Switzerland’s Simon Ehammer is the season’s next-best long jumper and has decided to forgo the decathlon to put his full focus into this event. He was one of the strongest competitors in the qualifiers and offers great value to secure a medal at $2.75 with top Olympic bookies.

Athletics: Women’s 200m Final

Looking to do the double after her 100m success last week, St Lucia’s Julien Alfred is the most explosive athlete in the field. While the USA’s Gabrielle Thomas ($1.28) is the favourite, Alfred has consistently improved since first competing in 2023, setting her best-ever time just last month. After dominating her semifinal, back Alfred to shock the field once again at $2.70 with top online bookmakers.

Basketball: Germany vs Greece Men’s Quarterfinal

Second favourites for the gold medal at $9, Germany were dominant in the pool stage. Heading into the quarterfinals, the defending world champions should be far too strong for a Greece team that has only one win in these Olympics. Given the Germans have won each of their matches by over 13 points, back them to cover the line of 7.5 points at $1.91 with leading basketball betting sites.

Soccer: USA vs Germany Women’s Semifinal

The undefeated USA have been the standout team so far, scoring 10 goals while conceding just two. After beating Germany 4-1 in the group stage, the four-time Olympic champions offer excellent value to win inside 90 minutes at $1.91 with top soccer bookmakers.
