How to bet Olympic volleyball
A price is a chance. At +350 the implied chance is 22.2%, and at +800 it is 11.1%. A futures bet on the gold medal is worth making only when you rate the team’s chance higher than the price does, and with the draw not yet made, any price posted now is a price on a team nearly two years out.
