Does anyone bet on the Olympics?

I was looking in this forum and surprised to see no talk of the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris this summer!  Just wondering how much of a draw for betting do the Olympics really get?  Is it better to go individual events or overall medal counts per country? Or just stay away from Olympic bets completely?  Inquiring minds...  

They generally don't get a big handle like pro sports, but I like to place some small wagers on the Olympics since I enjoy watching them anyways (being only every 4 years and the last good summer games was Rio in 2016); I usually do future picks for event winners rather than total medal counts for countries; I watch a lot of track and swimming-my advice throw some small bets on some futures-always tricky though in fields of 8 in the finals but it is betting-good luck!

 Awesome! Thanks for the advice!

I likely won't place any bets but look forward to watching them

less than one week away! some swimming wagers to start: Ryan Murphy 100m back +162--good price for a guy that's got the experience and the golds....
