The 2012 Olympics take place in London from July 27th to August 12th and bookmakers are ancitipating record turnover on their Olympic markets over the course of the games. London will become the first city to offically host three seperate Olympic games, having already done so in 1908 and 1948.

Much of the 2012 Olympics betting interest is set to revolve around the leading British competitors. The likes of Jessica Ennis, Mo Farah and Phillips Idowu are all sure to be well supported, while there will be plenty of money staked on Usain Bolt retaining his 100 metres title. The Olympics odds of the Great Britain and Northern Ireland Olympic football team will also be fascinating, while Andy Murray will be trying to win an Olympic tennis gold medal for the first time.

Much of the action will take place within Stratford's Olympic zone, including aquatics, basketball, handball, cycling, fencing, hockey, athletics and water polo. However, several of London's existing sporting venues will also be used in various capacities. For example, Lord's Cricket Ground will host Archery, Wembley Stadium will be the venue of the football final, and the tennis will take place at Wimbledon.
