Thanks to the Czech final participation, most bets were on women’s tennis, and basketball and football were also popular sports. The bettor at Tipsport was happy with the highest win.

“At the Prague branch, the tipper placed 24 bets on various disciplines, such as swimming, athletics, cycling. He usually guessed the location, ie who will do better. The Maxikombinátor ticket was bet for 6,500 crowns and the total prize was 4,716,000 crowns, “Tipsport spokesman Jiří Hadrava told Práva.

In total, people bet 542 million crowns at the company. “The Olympics have exceeded our expectations. Despite all the restrictions, the people watched the Olympics and the bets were also successful. After all, the Olympics took place at a time when many of the most popular competitions in Europe and in the world still have a summer break, “he added.

The most betting events of the Games at Tipsport were the women’s singles final of Markéta Vondroušová – Belinda Bencicová with bets of 19 million crowns and the doubles final of nine million crowns, in which Barbora Krejčíková and Kateřina Siniaková defeated the Swiss duo Bencicová – Viktorija Golubičová. The ninth most betted competition was sport climbing, in which Adam Ondra participated. People bet 6.5 million on this sport.

Sazka was also most interested in tennis players’ matches. “Most bets were on tennis, football and basketball,” Sazka spokesman Petr Týbl told Práva.

At Fortuna, the volume of bets reached 400 million crowns. Chance accepted bets worth 121 million crowns. According to the company’s spokeswoman Markéta Světlíková, none of the disciplines was left without a ticket.

“We also accepted bets for several tens of thousands of crowns for archery duels, women’s seven-piece rugby, water polo or judo. Taekwondo bets did not end completely without attention, but here it was only a single ticket bet for ten crowns per match, “said Světlíková.

However, bets on other sporting events overshadow the Olympics. For example, at this year’s European Football Championship, Czechs’ bets reached a value of about three billion crowns.
