Where to look for bargains and tips when it comes to World Cup Betting? Some sound advice to take note of, is of course to bet with your head and not your heart. Take a look at the list of World Cup winners, and out of all the numerous nations which have entered the World Cup throughout its history, only seven of them have actually won it. It really is a monumental achievement to win the World Cup, and that is where pedigree and continuing class comes in. Brazil (5/1 at Bet365) lead the way, having won the tournament five times, with Italy, the current holders, close behind with four World Cup triumphs. Brazil are one of the favourites to win the title again, and they have the class and quality to do so. As they are in a tough group, it will be worth jumping on them as an outright winner before the tournament starts. Once they get a couple of games under their belt, their price will shorten.
But a lot of the hype is surrounding the potential of there being a new name on the trophy in 2010. This is one of those rare years where there could be a first time winner. Spain are the favourites at the bookies to win the World Cup (17/4 at Bwin), and they are oozing quality at the moment. Again, taking an early price on them will be better than waiting. They don’t have too difficult a group, with Chile being the ones who could push them the hardest. Beyond Brazil and Spain, England (9/2 at Paddy Power and Argentina, both of which have favourable group draws, will be in the hunt, and then the rest of the strong Europeans who have World Cup Pedigree. Italy (16/1 at William Hill) should not be counted out in any way, as they won’t give up their crown easily. They may be understated, they may not have as many recognisable names, but they are a tight unit and know how to win. They can be picked up at very generous prices at the moment.
Some of the best early tournament betting will come from Group Outright bets. Such is the quality of the seeded teams, it shouldn’t be hard to pick winners in this field. While the prices will be shorter on the favourites, naturally, it’s a great chance to build some accumulators, such as building on England (4/11 at Paddy Power), Spain (4/11 at Paddy Power) and France (11/10 at Ladbrokes) as group winners for example. The second placed teams, which will equate into “To Qualify” bets are a great tip to look for. There’s usually an upset somewhere, and the South American teams such as Chile (9/2 at Bet365) and Paraguay (6/11 at Bwin) have a lot of “dark horse” potential for betting on “To Qualify”.
