2021 Rowing Betting Olympics Strategy, Odds, Rules and Sites

Check rowing betting odds at BetAmerica. Read some good rowing betting tips here. American Gambler will guide you through water sports betting journey ahead of the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo. There are few sports that can match the all-around physical exertion of world-class rowing and in-depth knowledge can give you that betting edge.

Events at the highest level of the sport range from the single sculls up to the eights – all over 2000m – some with the added advantage of a cox. The cox is responsible for coordinating the power and rhythm of the rowers to ensure the smoothest possible route from start to finish.

Rowing betting odds and strategy

Betting odds and lines opportunities for rowing are usually restricted to world championships and Olympics, so the elite will train to peak at both.

Odds on the more fancied boats generally shorten in the lead up to the finals so the key to betting is timing. There is little to be gained from waiting to the final to bet on the favorite when they have won every heat by five lengths. By then the odds will be prohibitively short so bet smart.

If you’re looking for more adventurous bets then ask your betting provider about odds for winning distances and winning times.

The blue ribbon of a rowing regatta is the eights and this is where the USA usually shine. The USA women’s eights are defending Olympic and world champions and they will be hot favourites to retain both. An 11-year unbeaten run surprisingly ended on home water at the world championships in Florida 2017. The defeat hit hard and they came back to regain the crown last year in Bulgaria.

Upcoming rowing betting events and 2021 Olympics odds

This year’s world championships in Austria offer the main chance of qualification for next year’s Olympics so the standard will be high and the racing intense.
