Starting from the 9th of February, all roads will lead to Pyeongchang, South Korea, as the Winter Olympics kicks off in grand style. Because of the venue for the event this year and some of the countries participating in this one (cue: North Korea), a lot has been said about this edition of the event.
Nevertheless, the world is looking forward to seeing action from the world of curling, skating, bobsleigh and other sporting events usually practiced on ice.
There may not be football or basketball events to bet on but there are other sporting events you can bet on and make money from. With this in mind, we have helped you to compile these 20 markets you can bet on during this winter Olympics:
-
1 X 2
Of all the events that will take place, the ice hockey event will feature several teams playing on ice and trying to outscore each other by knocking the puck into their opponent’s nets. There will be both the Men’s category and also the Women’s category.
As with other sports, you can bet on any side to win or you can bet on a straight draw.
-
Correct Score
In this market, you have the chance to predict the exact score line that a given game will end in.

This market allows you to either back both teams to score or bet against the event of both teams scoring.
