How to Bet on the Tour de France
There are two things to consider when deciding how to bet on the Tour de France; firstly, remember there's three weeks of racing and odds update daily. Secondly, what Tour de France betting markets are there?
The most popular is always the betting on the overall winner, the man who will pull on the Yellow Jersey at the end of some 3,500km of cycle racing, but if the spread in the Tour de France winner betting odds looks daunting or unrewarding, there are many other markets that represent good value. Let's take a look at some of the options:
Tour de France Odds Markets:
- Overall Winner | The overall or outright winner is never a complicated bet: pick who you think is going to win the Tour de France.
- Points Winner | These odds predict who will win the Green or Points Jersey, obtained by accumulating the most points in stage finishes and intermediate sprints. It's generally the best sprinter in the race who is favourite in these odds.
- Climber's Classification | These odds predict who will win the Polka Dot or Climber's Jersey, obtained by accumulating the most points on mountaintop finishes and King of the Mountains sectors. The overall winner can sometimes win this bet too.
- Top Three | If you can’t decide on a definite winner this bet is for you. It's like betting each-way in horse racing - you get odds on your rider finishing in the first three overall.
- Top Ten | These odds work the same as Top Three, only they go all the way down to 10th, so if you spot a bet that's huge odds - and risk - in the Overall market, it's worth seeing what odds they are in the Top Ten. It's a popular Tour de France bet.
- Stage Winner | There are 21 opportunities to back a stage winner at the Tour de France. Each stage is different, so it doesn't matter if you just know about sprinters or climbers; every type of rider has their chance and therefore, so does every type of punter.
- Head-to-Head | With a head-to-head bet on the Tour de France, you pick two riders and determine who will finish first. This is mainly an overall bet, but sometimes there are head-to-head odds for a stage.

Can I Bet In-Running on the Tour de France?
Yes, you can bet in-running on a Tour de France stage. You can also bet on who will win the Tour de France, who will finish Top 3 or Top 10, or who will win the Points, Mountains, Young Rider, and Combativity classifications during the three weeks of racing.
Odds for these bets will be updated daily, during and after each stage, so you don't need to bet on any of the outright markets before the race starts, you could cut out a bit of risk by waiting. However, the downside is that often the best odds are available before the start of the race, particularly for outsiders.
You might use this for your cycling betting strategy if you think one of the favourites, before the race starts, will win whatever classification you're interested in. Maybe their odds are too short for you to bet on at the start, but they get pushed out after he under-performs in a time-trial, for example.
