I know there are a couple of other WC threads on here already, but thought it would be good to have one dedicated to odds, tips and betting success (or not)!
A few that have caught my eye:
- Still several places offering Spain at 7/1 to win. Not convinced they will this time around but looking at their ridiculously good squad (just announced) they must surely be there or there abouts with that quality. 7/1 seems very generous to me!
- Given that the South American teams will no doubt have an advantage, Chile at 50/1 are a great e/w shout. Others are Brazil (3/1), Argentina (5/1), Uruguay (28/1), Columbia (33/1).
- The last 2 Golden Boots have been won by players scoring just 5 goals so it really is open! A couple of goals for a player in the early group games and in theory they are almost halfway there.
Favourites are:
Messi (8/1)
Neymar, C Ronaldo (14/1)
Aguero, Suarez (18/1)
Selected others:
Fred (28/1)
Muller, Lukaku (33/1)
Benzema, Van Persie (34/1)
Cavani, Falcao, Negredo (40/1)
Klose, Rooney (50/1)
Torres (74/1)
Giroud, Llorente, Sturridge (80/1)
Dzeko (100/1)
Forlan (150/1)
Goochanejhad (1000/1)
- The Winner/Top Scorer double also has some tempting odds, with good reason - it's so tough to predict both!
Argentina/Neymar, Brazil/Fred (66/1)
Spain/Messi, Argentina/Suarez (80/1)
Germany/Klose (100/1)
Spain/Neymar, Spain/Ronaldo (125/1)
Germany/Suarez (150/1)
Anyone else considering throwing their money away this summer?
Comments
Certainly some good deals floating around. Not sure there is an obvious favourite to win overall despite Brazil winning the Confederations Cup last year.
Dzecko to be Bosnia top scorer 6/4 + Bosnia to get knocked out in QF's 6/1
Argentina to win it
1 goal against Costa Rica could be enough
The rest your looking at 5s, 6s...Netherlands at 25s along with the french.
Edit all done
Aguero 16s
Fred 28s
Benzema 33s Only did him because France are in a shit group so hoping he can bang a few in before they go out.
Brazil, Holland, Columbia, Uruguay, Ecuador, Nigeria, Portugal and Belgium to qualify for the knockouts, big acca there
Also stuck a fiver on Spain at 9/1 to be top-scoring team
Though I'm on
Argentina at 9/2
Argentina/Germany final at 12/1
Brazil to beat Croatia in firsy game by more than 1 (bonus bet from PP)
Will add accys on qualifying later on.
Iran not to get a point in their group. 5-2
I can't see them scoring a goal let alone getting a point and these odds are brilliant.
Sergio Aguero top scorer in the tournement . 16-1
Again very big odds. Each way might be a good bet too.
Finally
Daniel Sturridge to be Englands top scorer . 3-1
I like the idea of Iran getting 0 points, but you might be better doing an accy on them to lose all three games - almost 4-1.
I've git a feeling they're gonna come good
