Betting on swimming: where can they be placed?

Despite the fact that swimming is considered an aesthetic sport, and the fact that there are many kinds of swimming, bookmakers, for some reason, quite rarely provide an opportunity to bet on the beloved water sport. This is despite the fact that swimming is really popular among bettors. Most often, you can bet on swimming only as part of the Olympic Games programs. Another option is the European Swimming Championships, this tournament is also popular with bookmakers.

• Swimming has a really important place at the Summer Olympics, this sport is deservedly one of the most popular spectacles within the tournaments. A large number of spectators come to the events, and there are 17 heats for men and the same number for women.

• Twice a year, the European Aquatics Championships also takes place.

• Another competition that can be highlighted, and which includes swimming events, is the FINA World Championships. This tournament is held every two years, with athletes from China, America and Russia taking part there for the most part.

Types of swimming bets

Among others, there are bets on the so-called “combined relay”. In this relay, the participants must overcome different water distances through several styles:

• Brass
• Backstroke
• Butterfly .

Also very popular are the bets on the “places on the podium”. In other words, bettors are offered betting options where it is necessary to guess whether the swimmer can eventually stand on the podium after the swim.

In addition, there are bets on the winner of the swim. The peculiarity of this kind of bets is that very high odds are usually given on weak and unpopular athletes. Many customers often choose this type of betting on outsiders.

In swimming, there is also a bet on the probability of breaking world records in the heats.

Betting on swimming. Tips

The most effective way to bet on the most likely outcome is to be fully aware of the athletes condition before the swims. When choosing which swimmer to bet on, it is advisable to consider several factors:

• Whether the athlete has been in the infirmary recently, whether he or she has suffered injuries and the severity of those injuries.
• Whether the swimmer was able to set any records, whether he often won recently.
• Whether it is possible that the athlete may be in a state of fatigue, whether he or she may have been actively competing recently, which could lead to fatigue and, consequently, a loss.

What style of swimming is closest to the chosen athlete

Also an important factor is that the athlete is in good spirits, good physical condition. The athlete should be full of energy before the swim. In order to be sure of this. It is necessary to examine the swimmer’s recent schedule, whether the swimmer has had time to rest before the competition, and whether the athlete is likely to have diseases that can lead to rapid fatigue.

An overly busy swimmer’s schedule can result in the swimmer simply not having time to rest and get into proper, enduring shape. A fatigued swimmer is unlikely to win long distances.
