- France has +200 odds to win the Men’s Rugby Sevens gold medal behind captain Antoine Dupont.
- South Africa has puzzling long +1400 odds despite winning the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
- Olympic rugby betting odds by pool odds favor New Zealand (-275), Argentina (-300), and France (-275).
PARIS – Betting odds for the Men’s Rugby Sevens at the 2024 Paris Olympics favor France with +200 odds. However, there are plenty of other talented teams like Fiji (+550) and South Africa (+1400) with longer Olympic betting odds to claim gold.
Current Men’s Rugby Sevens Gold Medal Odds
- France +200
- New Zealand +300
- Argentina +400
- Fiji +550
- Australia +1000
- Ireland +1000
- South Africa +1400
- USA +2800
- Samoa +10000
- Kenya +20000
- Uruguay +20000
- Japan +50000
France being the favorite stands out as suffered a quarterfinals’ exit to South Africa in the 2023 Rugby World Cup. They do have arguably the best rugby player in the world in Antoine Dupont, but France’s +200 odds are too short to be worth a wager with such strong competition.
Meanwhile, Fiji (+500) and South Africa (+1400) have odds that are way too long considering their talent. Fiji is the back-to-back gold medalist but has +550 odds to take home gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Despite being the No. 1 ranked team according to World Rugby rankings, South Africa has long +1400 odds to win the Olympic gold medal. They just won the Rugby World Cup, defeating teams with shorter odds like France (+200) and New Zealand (+300) on the way.
Pool Winner Odds Favor New Zealand, Argentina, and France
Pool A is set to be a blood bath with New Zealand serving as the favorite to win it at -275 odds. However, they must get through Ireland (+400) and South Africa (+500) first.
Men's Rugby Sevens Pool A Winner Odds
- New Zealand -275
- Ireland +400
- South Africa +500
- Japan +15000
Japan is the odd man out, but both Ireland and South Africa could win this pool at great prices. South Africa and Ireland are ranked first and second on the Men’s Rugby Sevens world rankings, but Olympic Rugby betting odds convincingly favor New Zealand.
Men's Rugby Sevens Pool B Winner Odds
- Argentina -300
- Australia +225
- Kenya +4000
- Samoa +4000
Betting odds indicate the winner of Pool B will be either Argentina (-300) or Australia (+225), with Kenya and Samoa sharing long +4000 odds. Argentina finished with a bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and bring an impressive squad to Paris, making them a worthy bet on the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Men's Rugby Sevens Pool C Winner Odds
- France -275
- Fiji +225
- USA +1600
- Uruguay +10000
Host nation France has -275 odds to win Pool C over the likes of Fiji (+225), USA (+1600), and Uruguay (+10000). Fiji is hard to count out at the Olympics since they’ve won gold medals in back-to-back Games, so their +225 odds are worth a sprinkle to win against France in enemy territory.
