No one knows for sure if the Olympic sports betting activities will be halted or whether the Olympic sport book action will go off without a hitch. Olympic Sports gambling and politics often intersect but rarely has there been such an opportunity for the two to intersect than at the upcoming Olympic sports betting action in Beijing. Winning the right to host the Olympic sport book action was a tremendous feat for the Chinese government, but the Olympic sports gambling action also represents a great opportunity for opposition protest. The Chinese government has made plenty of enemies in the world –some deserved, others not- and the potential for politics to take the spot light from the Olympic sports betting has never been greater in the age of Olympic sport book wagering.
