Olympics Day 12 betting tips - August 7, 2024

The 2024 Paris Olympic Games continue this Wednesday with plenty of action across a variety of sports. Here are our best bets for Day 12.


Skateboarding: Men’s Park Final

As the reigning gold medallist, Australia’s Keegan Palmer heads to his second Olympic Games as the betting favourite. The 21-year-old has been in excellent form with wins in the Budapest Olympic Qualifier Series and X Games Ventura. At $3.25 with top skateboarding bookies, Palmer offers excellent value to become a back-to-back champion.

Athletics: Women’s Pole Vault Final

Australia’s Nina Kennedy storms into the Olympic Games in stellar form after winning in each of the past two Diamond League meets. The reigning world champion and Commonwealth Games gold medallist will be looking to avenge her disappointing 22nd-place finish in Tokyo. Back Kennedy to secure the gold for Australia at $1.53 with leading athletics bookmakers.

Athletics: Men’s 400m Final

While the fight for gold looks to be a two-horse race between the USA’s Quincy Hall ($2.50) and Great Britain’s Matthew Hudson-Smith ($1.66), there is value in the medal markets. Grenada’s Kirani James is a three-time Olympic medallist in this event, and he finished with the fastest time in the semi-finals. At $1.99 with top Olympic bookies, James offers excellent value to stand on the podium.

Athletics: Men’s Discus Final

As the reigning gold medallist from Tokyo, Sweden’s Daniel Stahl should be right in the mix once again in Paris. He has finished on the podium in three of the last four World Championships, and despite his average form this season, he is known for his performances on the big stage. At $1.68 with top sports betting sites, back Stahl to win a medal.

Basketball: Serbia vs Australia Women’s Quarterfinal

After a rocky start, Australia have bounced back with two wins to finish second in their group. Serbia also finished second in their group, but a loss in their final last game exposed their reliance on star point guard Yvonne Anderson. The Opals’ scoring depth should prove too much for Serbia to handle, so back Australia to cover the line of 7.5 points at $1.91 with top basketball bookmakers.

Australia -7.5
