The Carioca Championship, according to Flamengo coach Tite, is the most competitive state championship in the country. However, data from Odds&Scouts and platforms such as Esportes da Sorte, Casa de Apostas, Onabet, Reals, Galera.bet and Bet7k reveal a notable disparity in prizes for the champion between the four big Rio clubs.
Contrary to last season, Flamengo starts as favorite, offering a return of R$2 for every R$1 bet.
However, a turnaround in expectations occurs with Vasco, which, despite not being the current champion, presents itself as a more profitable option, offering an incredible prize of R$6.50 for every R$1 invested.
Gigante da Colina, last champion in 2016, is undergoing a significant reformulation phase for 2024.
With the entry of SAF Vasco and the arrival of Alexandre Mattos as executive director of football, the team seeks to reaffirm its place in the Rio scene.
Currently, the prize for the title is 4.5 times higher than that of Flamengo.
While Flamengo, with Tite at the helm, seeks to regain its dominance, Fluminense, current champion, appears in second place in bookmakers’ preferences, offering R$2.75 for every R$1 bet.
Botafogo, fifth placed in the last Brasileirão, surprises as an attractive option, currently paying R$5 for every R$1 invested.
