Tour de France Betting Markets
Winner Odds
The most popular of all the Tour de France betting options is the main winner market. Here, you are betting on which rider will win the general classification at the end of the 21 stages. The market will shift during the three weeks of competition with the Tour de France odds reflecting the current state of affairs and how riders are expected to fare in the upcoming stage.
Top 3 & Top 10 Odds
You can also profit from the general classification include the Top 3 and Top 10 betting markets. These are best used for riders who have a strong team and should go well but lack that little bit extra it takes to win the yellow jersey.
Points Classification Odds
Another popular betting option is on the winner of the points classification. This is the secondary competition of the Tour in which the best sprinters earn points from high finishes and winning sprints with the leader wearing the green jersey.
Other Odds
There are similar betting markets for the young rider classification which is awarded to the best rider aged under 25 and for the King of the Mountains who is awarded the polka dot jersey.
The best online bookmakers also have a host of daily betting markets for the Tour such as the stage winner market.
How to Bet on the Tour de France
If you are serious about ending the upcoming three weeks in profit it will require a much more considered approach than simply backing your favourite rider in the Tour de France winner odds.
The Tour de France really is a team event and it is vital to assess the strength of a team before backing a rider in any of the markets involving individual awards. The particular strengths of a team are also well worth considering if you’re betting on individual stage winners. A team’s quality is most tested on the most challenging mountain stages and that’s an area of real opportunity for switched on punters.
As with any top-level sport, form is always an important consideration for your Tour de France betting. Performances in the other Grand Tours – the Giro d’Italia and Vuelta a España – are useful indicators for success as are any strong performances over the last two months.
The final thing to note is the importance of fitness. The Tour de France is one of the most physically demanding events in all of sport. Whilst every rider will need to be patched up at times and fight through the pain, those short of fitness or battling injury concerns are at a distinct disadvantage.
