The Olympic opening ceremony on Friday is within touching distance and BETDAQ have a host of Olympic markets available. Can you spot the early value on the games?

Although the official opening is on Friday from 9pm – events actually get underway on Wednesday with the football competition.

The schedule up to Friday is as below.

Wed 25 July – Day minus-two
The Games begin before the beginning! Two days ahead of the opening ceremony, the Olympic football competition begins early (as it has done at every Olympics since Sydney 2000).

Great Britain’s women have the honour of being the first team in action at their home Games, up against New Zealand in a 16:00 BST kick-off at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium (live on BBC One). Other fixtures are in Coventry and Glasgow.

Thu 26 July – Day minus-one
The football competition continues with the first set of men’s group games in Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester (Old Trafford), Coventry and Cardiff.

BBC Two follows the opening Games from 14:30 BST before BBC One picks up the baton as Team GB’s men face Senegal – coverage from Old Trafford begins at 19:00.

Fri 27 July – Day zero
This is the day the Games officially begin – but you won’t get to see any sport.

The opening ceremony is scheduled to begin at 21:00 BST inside the Olympic Stadium. Join BBC One for the build-up from 19:00 BST, right through to the lighting of the cauldron and beyond.

The Olympic flame winds its way through London in the lead-up to the ceremony. You can line the route for free if you want to be a part of the culmination of its journey, or watch the live stream online.

Archery is the only sport taking place, but these are preliminary rounds which take place behind closed doors at Lord’s Cricket Ground.
