Today is the Start of the Olympics


      Well a very old tradition starts today, the modern Olympics started back in 1896 over a hundred years ago but the games have a much longer history. The Olympics are more than just a world wide sporting event, they signify an effort for peaceful coexistence. The games give the countries of the world a non-violent way of competing with each other.

      The first written recorded record of an Olympic game was back in 776 BC and it is believed that they had been around for years before that, they went on every four years until 393 AD, almost 1200 years. The original event was running and the length was around 210 yards, and the first recorded Olympic Champion was Coroebus.

      Now we have a multitude of events and are still adding more. The Olympic games have and are still evolving into a great show of peace and unity for the human species.

      Today is the Opening Ceremonies and there is only one event in Archery held today but starting tomorrow the games really get under way with around 16 events starting and Soccer and Archery continuing.

      Most Sports Books are offering Lines on most of the events, so check your Sports Book every day to see what is available and make a few bets to make watching the events even more exciting. The tradition of betting on the Olympics is just as old as the Olympics themselves, so carry on the tradition betting on your country and make a few bets today.

      Watch the Olympics with your National Pride, but bet on them with your head and not your heart. Hope everyone out there enjoys the spirit of the Olympics and I also hope that all the players have a safe time competing. Good luck with your betting and I hope your bankroll wins some gold as well as your country.
