2012 Olympic Bet365 Free Bet for Beach Volleyball and Men's Basketball

For some odd reason, the women's beach volleyball competition is always one of the most highly-rated Olympic television events. Though hot weather is said to be likely to force athletes to cover up a bit during their matches, we still expect plenty of attention to be paid anyway.

The indefatigable duo of Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor are expected to dominate the sand once again, while the towering American pair are priced as the 2/1 favourites. The Walsh/May-Treanor tandem is easily the most feared in this competition and there is only really three different teams that can logically win it according to the bookmakers.
You'll find the Chinese duo of Xue/Zhang Xi trading at a 3/1 price alongside the Larissa/Julianna team representing Brazil.
The defending champions from Brazil are expected to dominate the men's beach volleyball competition and they're priced at 11/5 to get the job done here once again. The American team are priced just behind them and this one really should set up to be a classic competition if things unfold the way that the bookmakers think they will.
Look for the Rogers/Dalhausser team to mount a stiff challenge here – they're trading just behind the favourites with an 11/4 price tag. The Gibb/Rosenthal American team are the third favourites with a 4/1 price.
Arguably the shortest price in the entire 2012 Olympics is in the perennially lopsided Men's basketball division with the United States listed at a microscopic 1/7 listing. The only real resistance is expected from the Spanish team and they're a lengthy 5/1 to win the Olympic title.
The odds then take a considerable jump to 25/1 for the French team to win the Olympic title while the next best-priced challengers are Argentina at 30/1.
The American women are even more dominant with a 1/12 price tag in the Women's Basketball event. The strongest challengers look to be Australia or Russia, who trade at 7/1 and 9/1, respectively.
