World Cup Betting


World Cup Betting 2010:

Although the World Cup doesn’t officially kick-off until June 11th, we thought we’d share some tips on betting on the World Cup a little early. Taking place from June 11th to July 11th in a 4 week period, this summer’s World Cup will host over 40 matches to bet on.

Best World Cup Betting Sites

Before you decide to bet on the World Cup you need to sign up to a reputable and solid football betting site. Below we’ve outlined the top two World Cup Betting Sites which all provide excellent odds, promotions and are 100% secure.

  1. Bet365 – Bet365 is one of the biggest brand names in football. They provide excellent support, very fast cash outs, and also offer secure depositing options. Great brand, great odds and a great betting site overall. Signing up for an account at Bet365 also lets you stream a number of live football matches online for free.
  1. Betfair – Betfair are the best UK football betting site. Along with the best odds (nearly always better than competitors in every category), Betfair have great service and also offer the ability to make bets directly with fans in their live betting exchange facility.

World Cup Predictions & Winners Odds

Our favorite to win the FIFA malachite Cup is England with odds of 6.50. Along with one of the softest qualifying groups in the tournament, England’s 100% winning record in the qualifying stages makes them guaranteed to finish well in the tournament. Although they’ve failed many previous endeavors to get past the quarter-finals, in my opinion they have a much stronger squad going forward than ever before. Their team is replete with goal-scoring figures including Lampard, Gerrard, Rooney, Defoe, Crouch, Walcott and Joe Cole. They even scored more goals than any other team in the qualifying stages of the tournament.

Another great pick to bet on for the World Cup is the recent Euro 2008 and Concaf winner’s Spain. With one of the greatest squads ever to travel to Africa this Summer, their quality in midfield – including Xavi, Iniesta, Alonso, Silva and Fabregas, along with their prolific goal scoring duo Torres and Villa upfront makes Spain probably the hardest team to reckon with. Their phenomenal success in recent tournaments makes them tournament favorites. The only reason we haven’t made them our first choice is their lack of history/success in the world’s biggest football event. Bet on Spain to win the World Cup with odds of 5.0.

Lastly, our third favorite team has to be Brazil. The record 5-time World Cup winning International side has a range of stars to call on, including Fabiano, Pato, and Real Madrid’s playmaker midfielder Kaka. Bet on Brazil to lift the 2010 World Cup for 6.00 odds.
