Bookmakers William Hill Puts Team GB On Target

Online bookmakers William Hill has Team GB down as likely to reach its target of three medals at the Vancouver Winter Olympics.

Online bookmakers William Hill believes Team GB is on target to take home at least three medals from the upcoming 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

The event in Vancouver adds a rare treat to the list of sports betting options, with the Winter Olympics taking place only once every four years.

For the members of Team GB, however, it is more than just a sports betting opportunity - it is the chance to take home a medal.

William Hill is offering odds of 11/5 that no member of the team will be able to do this.

However, the online bookmakers has it down as more likely that the team as a whole will meet its target haul of three individual medals.

A bet on that eventuality is available at odds of 4/5.

Event host country Canada is at odds of 3/1 to claim the most medals, with the USA at 4/1 and Germany the favourite at 6/4.
