If you don’t find the Olympics to be interesting, you might now. Nevada gambling regulators voted Thursday to allow the state’s sports books to offer bets on the Olympics for the first time in years. Come summer 2016, when the best of the best athletes climb podiums wearing gold, silver and bronze medals, Las Vegas gamblers could very well be counting their green. It was a move unopposed by anyone in the industry and cheered by the regulators themselves. International sports books in Great Britain, Ireland and Australia and offshore Internet sites already allow such bets. Gamblers could already begin wagering through William Hill race and sports books throughout the state. Some odds include if the U.S. or China will win more gold medals. And if Serena Williams will win gold in the women’s singles tennis.
