2026 Winter Olympics Betting Odds and Predictions

Norway leads the odds for the most gold medals at the 2026 Winter Olympics with a price of -170, suggesting a high probability of them topping the medal table again. This follows from their previous success as the medal count winner. The significant odds difference to other competitors, such as the USA at +480 and then a further drop to +750, indicates clear market confidence in Norway's potential to secure back-to-back victories.

Germany follows behind with a 5 to 1 price, while the USA's total gold medal count is predicted at 8.5. This presents an intriguing prospect for bettors considering whether the USA can exceed this expectation and achieve a double-digit gold medal count. The conversation also highlighted quirks in the medal counting system, like team sports such as ice hockey contributing the same single medal to the national count as individual events like cross-country skiing.

Further discussion included reminiscing about past Olympics antics and opportunities for current Team USA members in disciplines such as alpine skiing, speed skating, figure skating, snowboarding, and hockey. The consensus appears hopeful that the diverse strengths of Team USA could lead to a successful medal haul in the upcoming games.
