Most popular Tour de France betting odds

There are two main Tour de France betting markets each year. These are the Outright Winner market and Stage Betting. Both are incredibly popular bets to place and can offer great value, particularly in the Stage Betting market. 

The Tour de France has three different stages, as well as the individual time trial. To be successful in betting on the Tour de France, familiarise yourself with each rider’s strengths and weaknesses. For example, you could find value odds on a rider who isn’t amongst the favourites to win the Tour outright, but they might be amongst the strongest during the Mountain stages. 

Each-way betting is available at most betting sites for both the Outright and Stage Betting markets. 

Tour de France odds can fluctuate dramatically, depending on which bookmaker you’ve chosen. It’s key to do your research, as with all betting, before you part with any of your bankroll.
