It was delayed a year but the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics will start on July 23. While most of us would like to forget it, Tokyo is keeping the “2020” for the Summer Olympics.
This is the first Olympics where sports betting is legal outside of Nevada and Pennsylvania sports betting apps are packed with betting markets. The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board said that all events for the Tokyo Olympics are approved and it is up to each of the state’s sportsbook on what they will offer.
The Tokyo Summer Olympics features 33 different sports and will award medals for 339 events.
Here, we give you a look at most of the Tokyo Olympic events and who has the best odds to bring home the gold.
