2022 Tour de France SBG Odds Overview
On this occasion, we are reminded about a sportsbook truth regarding futures odds. Most futures betting is based on the past. You can look at almost any sport on the board and find this to be true. Naturally, Tadej Pogacar is the easy choice for the Tour de France. And he may be the right choice. But that doesn’t make him the sure choice.
Wise Guys are already scanning the field for capable riders at better prices. What’s more, the cost of Tadej Pogacar is so prohibitive as to put into question its actual value. Does a smart gambler want to tie up money for several months on Pogacar without getting as much as even money for his risk? Especially when other world-class riders can bring plus money.
The Tour de France
Founded on July 1, 1903, the Tour de France is the most prestigious event in the sport of cycling. Also, the Tour is one of the coveted championships in all sports. Gamblers and fans that pay no attention to cycling will eagerly tune into the Tour de France. Cause by the Tour is an iconic event that transcends sports. To put it another way, it is the “in” thing to do each July.
To summarize, the Tour de France is comprised of 21 day-long stages over 23 days. Although the general classification is the best-known competition, several others take place at the Tour. Among them are sprints, mountains, young riders, and more. Of course, betting action is available on all of it. In most years, 20 to 22 teams are competing with eight riders on each team.
One of the most iconic features of the Tour de France is the spectacular scenery of France. Especially beautiful are the mountain stages. Television captures both the difficulty and the glory of the mountain stages. And then the final day of the competition ending in Paris is apropos. Yet another feature that can cause great danger to riders is the close proximity of the fans. Scenes of fans touching or even pounding on the riders are impossible to ignore.
On the downside are the numerous doping scandals that date all the way back to the early days of the Tour. Whoever beats the Tour de France odds becomes an immediate doping suspect, whether it is fair or not. So far, Pogacar has a clean reputation.
