Odds to Win Olympics Rugby Sevens

Olympics Rugby Sevens Betting Analysis

The best Olympic Games betting line is New Zealand women at +105. They have been a dominant force in the rugby world, and after picking up multiple wins in 2024, they are the team to beat.

New Zealand lives and breathes rugby, and the women’s team are fantastic at the sevens game. Getting +105 to win a gold medal is short, but expectations for the Kiwis are high, and they’re worth including in selections. Our Rugby Sevens Olympics betting analysis also gives the Kiwi men’s team a chance of winning gold at value odds of +350.

They have also played well this season, and although they aren’t as consistent as the women, the odds are better. The biggest danger to the Kiwi men is France, who are favored to win at +225. However, most of the money has come for the French because the games are in Paris.

Having a home crowd at the sevens isn’t as important as other sports, so we’re betting against France. There is better value with Fiji at +500. They are a true sevens nation, and we expect them to medal. Gold could be on the cards for the island nation.

Our final bet is USA women to win gold at +2200. The rugby odds are juicy for the Women’s Eagles to win, and they are a good saver bet if backing New Zealand is too short.

Olympics Rugby Sevens Previous Winners and Betting Trends

There have been only two editions of rugby sevens at the Olympic games, and it’s Fiji who dominated.

They won the men’s competitions in 2016 and 2020, including a dominant 43-7 win over Great Britain in the 2016 Olympics.

They scored a win over New Zealand in 2020, so the +500 for Fiji is an excellent betting trend.

In the women’s game, the gold medals have been split by Australia and New Zealand, with the latter being the defending champion with a 26-12 win over France.

Great Britain has finished fourth in both Olympic Games, so it’s trending in the right direction. However, times have changed, and teams have improved significantly over the last four years, including USA.

Olympic Rugby Sevens Betting Picks

We’re backing New Zealand across the board, but there are multiple bets to place for the Olympic Games Rugby Sevens.

New Zealand to win the women’s division is our best bet, and although it’s paying the shortest odds, they are short for a reason.

Back the Kiwis to win both tournaments, but also have a saver bet on Fiji in the men’s tournament and USA in the women’s.

Fiji is shooting for a third consecutive gold medal, so the +500 odds are attractive. We hope you liked our rugby picks for the Olympic Games!
