2010 World Cup Betting Tips From Party Bets

March 30, 2010

Every four years the World Cup dominates the sporting media landscape, and indeed captures the imagination of millions, worldwide. The excitement generated eclipses any other global sporting competition, and betting on the outcome adds even more to the exhilarating events on the field. For the 2010 competition in South Africa, bookmakers are offering a wider range of World Cup betting opportunities then ever before – chances are, if you can think of a bet, it probably exists.

As for ‘Outright Winners’ of the tournament – 2010 sees bookmakers tipping European Champions Spain as most likely to be triumphant. Party Bets has Spain at 4/1 – fairly short odds. Perhaps their odds of 5/1 for multiple winners Brazil provides better value for money (if they overcome their tricky first round group, they have a huge chance of lifting the trophy). Many UK bookmakers tend to favour England in tournaments such as this, and individuals will find the country available at very short odds (perhaps 9/2) at many domestic bookmakers, but Party Bets place them slightly longer at (6/1).

As for the best odds currently available, look no further than the great price of 12/1 that current holders Italy return to win successive World Cups. Many bookmakers and experts alike are writing off the nation, but reigning champions rarely go down without a fight, and they will be hugely reluctant to give away cheaply the accolade they fought so fiercely for in 2006. A favourite bet amongst seasoned gamblers is the ever intriguing ‘Top Goalscorer’ or ‘Golden Boot’, as it is known in World Cup circles. Odds to look out for this year are Spain’s David Villa at 9/1, and also Wayne Rooney at 11/1.
