The 2013 IAAF World Championships is here and with it comes another opportunity for Jamaicans to cash in through sports betting with JustBet. As was the case during the Olympics last year, JustBet is offering wagering on a number of key track and field events, especially those in which there is strong Jamaica/Caribbean interest. In addition, JustBet continues to rapidly expand its network of sports-betting locations across the island, making it even more convenient for sports fans to place their bets on the biggest events at this year's Championships.

Events

Among the events that Jamaicans can wager on at the Championships are: men's and women's 100m and 200m, men's and women's 400m, men's and women's 400m hurdles, men's 110m hurdles, women's 100m hurdles, men's and women's 4 x 100m relay and men's and women's 4 x 400m relay.

Some of the early gold medal favourites are: Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce in the women's 100m at odds of $1.70 (A $1000 bet would yield a payout of $1700). Allyson Felix in the women's 200m at odds of $1.95; Kirani James in the men's 400m at odds of $1.25, and Usain Bolt in the men's 100m at odds of $1.08 and the men's 200m at odds of $1.03. No surprise there - Bolt is the overwhelming favourite!

In addition to being able to place wagers on the gold-medal winners in the various events, persons will have the opportunity to bet on Usain Bolt's finishing time in the 100m and 200m final. Odds will also be offered on Jamaica's gold- medal tally at the Championships.

BET EARLY

One important tip for sports bettors is to bet early, as odds on the various events will change as athletes progress through the rounds of their respective events.
