Alright, let’s talk about something that’s been on my mind lately: the 2024 Tour de France. Yeah, I’ve been digging into the betting odds, and let me tell you, it’s been a ride.
First off, I started by checking out who the big favorite is. Turns out, it’s Tadej Pogačar. No surprise there, the guy’s a beast. I found this out by browsing through a bunch of different betting sites. I mean, I literally opened like a dozen tabs on my browser. BetMGM, FanDuel, Caesars, you name it.
Then, I compared the odds for the overall winner across these sites. I used the comparison tables they had. It’s kind of interesting to see how different bookmakers have slightly different numbers. Most of them, like bet365, have Pogačar as the clear favorite, but the exact odds vary a bit.
After that, I got curious about other riders. I looked up which riders were listed at 100/1 odds or shorter. Unibet Sportsbook had a pretty good list. It’s always fun to see who the underdogs are, right? You never know, maybe one of them will surprise everyone.
Next, I wanted to get a feel for the different kinds of bets you can place. I learned that you can bet on the overall winner, of course, but also on individual stage outcomes and specific classifications. There’s a lot more to it than just picking the overall winner, it seems.
I also looked into which betting sites are considered the best for the Tour de France. You know how some apps are just smoother and easier to use than others? Well, I read some reviews rating the best apps. BetMGM and Betfred were mentioned as being pretty good. It seemed like a good idea to check those out, so I downloaded their apps and poked around a bit. They look pretty user-friendly.
Oh, and I stumbled upon this thing about how many miles the Tour de France is. That’s some serious distance! Just thinking about it makes my legs tired.
Lastly, I joined some live coverage thing with some guy named Liam who was following the tour. Seemed like a good way to keep up with the action, and maybe get some real-time updates on the odds. I haven’t really followed along yet, but I have it bookmarked.
So yeah, that’s basically what I’ve been up to regarding the Tour de France odds. It’s a lot to take in, but it’s definitely interesting. I might even place a small bet or two, just for fun. We’ll see how it goes!
