Punters with online bookmaker Sportsbet are tipping Stephanie Rice will win gold on the opening day of swimming competition at the London Olympics, backing her to take out the Women’s 400m Individual Medley.
Elizabeth Beisel of the United States is the $2.00 favourite for the event, with Rice on the second line of betting at $4.50 with Hannah Miley from Great Britain.
“Rice has attracted 86 percent of money so far wagered on the market,” Sportsbet’s Ben Hawes said.
“There’s been a small amount of support for both Elizabeth Beisel and Hannah Miley, but the punters think Rice will be first to touch down.”
Aussie Blair Evans is priced at $101 to win the event.
