Betting odds are back! Let’s get the usual how to bet disclaimer out of the way and get to the odds!

For those unfamiliar with how betting odds work, you will see a lot of minuses and pluses. The minuses are the favorites, and the pluses are the underdogs. The bigger the minus is, the bigger the favorite and the less money you will win. The pluses of course, are the exact opposite.

That sentence was confusing, let’s do an example:

If the odds for a wager are -150, that means you would have to bet $150 to win $100. You would get back a total of $250 because you always get the winnings plus the money back from your wager when you win.

On the other side, if the odds are +130, for every $100 you bet you would win $130 and get back a total of $230.

Men’s Pole Vault

Mondo Duplantis World Record

Record?Jason’s Odds
Yes+400
No-500

Mondo has set the world record, indoors and outdoors three times this year, including most recently at the World Championships. The odds are always against a world record (unless you’re Sydney McLaughlin at a championship meeting) but do you really want to bet against Mondo? Really?

Men’s 200m

AthleteJason’s Odds
Erriyon Knighton-200
Jareem Richards+180
Joseph Fahnbulleh+250
Reynier Mena+500
Field+2000

Knighton would have been a bigger favorite in this race a week ago before finishing 6th in Lausanne. Still, he’s had a pretty good year. He ran 19.8 or better 5 times (including a 19.49), won a World Championships medal and, I’m assuming, had a great time at his senior prom.

Richards and Fahnbulleh could both win this race if Knighton isn’t at his best and Reynier Mena is someone I had definitely heard of before he ran his personal best by over four tenths with a 19.63 in July.

Men’s 400m hurdles

Will Alison Dos Santos break 47 seconds?

Sub-47?Jason’s Odds
Yes+120
No-140

Nothing against the rest of this field, but I don’t know how to count high enough to make odds to get you to bet against Alison Dos Santos. So instead of a matchup he gets an over/under time.

Now I know what you’re thinking, Dos Santos ran 46.29 at the World Championships, under 47 is easy money. But he’s only broken 47 twice this year and his last race he ran 47.8. So now I am going to put you in the position of betting against the guy who made 46.2 look easy, or for the guy who might still be celebrating his gold medal and can win without trying.

Women’s 100m

AthleteJason’s Odds
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce-700
Field+550

This is actually a really good and deep field, three of these women have run 10.72 or better in the last two years, making them the 6th, 7th and 8th fastest women ever.

Shericka Jackson ran the second fastest 200m ever and has a 10.71 this year. That 100m time would be Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce’s 8th best time this year. EIGHTH BEST TIME THIS YEAR!! The GOAT is having her best year ever, enjoy it.

Women’s 100m Hurdles

AthleteJason’s Odds
Jasmine Camacho-Quinn-250
Britany Anderson+220
Keni Harrison+350
Field+1000

Camacho-Quinn has won 10 of 12 finals this year but one of the losses came at the World Championships where Anderson finished second to her third. Harrison is the most inconsistent of the group, but she’s done some of her best work in her career post championships.

Men’s 5k

AthleteJason’s Odds
Jacob Krop+250
Oscar Chelimo+300
Yomif Kejelcha+500
Nicholas Kipkorir+600
Thierry Ndikumwenayo+700
Grant Fisher+700
Stewart McSweyn+800
Luis Grijalva+800
Field+1200

Outside of the men’s 800m this is the hardest race to call and that’s not a fair comparison as roulette is more predictable than the men’s 800m. There is a lot of talent in this race though as 14 guys have run faster than 13:10 and 6 have gone sub 13:00.

Women’s 1500m

AthleteJason’s Odds
Laura Muir-200
Diribe Welteji+220
Freweyni Hailu+500
Axumawit Embaye+700
Sinclaire Johnson+800
Heather Maclean+800
Jessica Hull+1000
Field+1500

Laura Muir has to be the favorite but anytime there’s a 1500m field without Faith Kipyegon every other athlete can channel their inner Kevin Garnett and believe, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!

Men’s 800m

AthleteJason’s Odds
Emmanuel Korir+350
Marco Arop+400
Djamel Sedjati+400
Jake Wightman+450
Mariano Garcia+600
Wycliffe Kinyamal+600
Benjamin Robert+700
Collins Kipruto+800
Gabriel Tual+1000
Field+1500

What am I supposed to do with this race? Have you watched the 800m this year? All three 800m medalists are here along with the gold medalist in the 1500m so I think they deserve to be the favorites but do you feel good about picking any of them to win this race? Five of these guys have run 1:43 this year but there’s just as good a chance of this race being won in 1:46. If you think picking a winner of this race is hard, try setting the odds for it.

HAPPY GAMBLING!

The event is now underway! We are no longer accepting entrants to the game as the men’s 100 meter heats have taken place. Enjoy the Brussels Diamond League!
