A few interesting match bets are out there amongst some rival nations and Great Britain are heavily-favoured to topple the convicts as the bookies float a 1/8 price for England to finish higher on the medal table than Australia. The Aussies can be backed at a 9/2 listing in this shoot-out and anybody expecting Britain to have an underwhelming games may do well to back this one.

Italy vs France is a much closer scenario with the French just getting the slight edge for this one with the bookmakers pricing him at 8/11 while Italy can be backed at an even money listing. Much will depend on a good start for both of these nations.

The USA vs China looks to be the battle of the superpowers and the perennial favourites are getting the backing of the bookies once again as the USA trades at 8/13 to beat out the Chinese, who carry a 6/5 price.

In regards to the outright “most gold medals” betting, it looks to be a straight shoot-out between the USA and China with the Americans trading at 8/13 and the Chinese floating at 5/4. They are the only two logical winners with the next best-priced contender floating at 50/1 – and that's Russia.

Great Britain's odds to win the most gold medals at the 2012 Olympics is trading at 100/1. Australia and Germany are the upstarts at 200/1 with Japan somehow listed at 500/1.
