Tokyo 2020 Olympics Betting Tips – 4 August 2021

The men’s 200m final is arguably the race to watch tomorrow from a neutral point of view, but the men’s 800m final offers plenty of hope for the continent of Africa and its several representatives in that race.

Meanwhile, there is a tremendous opportunity in the men’s decathlon as world champion Niklas Kaul offers superb value for money.

Men’s 200m

The final of the men’s 200m takes place tomorrow afternoon and there will be no South Africans competing. Noah Lyles of Team USA is the most likely winner, having won the gold medal in Doha at the 2019 world championships. 

Lyles, who recently turned 24, has a personal best of 19.50 seconds and this race could be the one in which he cements his superstar status.

Best Tip: Noah Lyles to win Gold

Men’s 800m

We have already mentioned this event before the final, tipping Nijel Amos to win gold, but with the final taking place tomorrow, it is worth mentioning that there is another attractive betting option available.

One only needs to tip Amos to win a medal in order to make healthy profits, given that at the time of writing, the odds of this are 0.62. This means that even if he takes home silver or bronze for Botswana, you will still be a winner.

Meanwhile, Kenyan fans will be keeping a keen eye on Ferguson Cheruiyot Rotich in particular in this race.

Best Tip: Nigel Amos to win a Medal

Men’s Decathlon

Niklas Kaul became the youngest world champion at this event in 2019. At present, he is paying over double even money to win a medal.

With Kaul’s decathlon bid set to start in the heats tomorrow, now is the time to capitalise on these superb odds.
