World Cup Betting 2014
The 2014 World Cup is coming on and we thought we’d get our World Cup betting predictions in while there’s still some time left before the tournament. The next World Cup will be held in Brazil in 2014 and we’re expecting it to be one of the most exciting tournaments ever with players like Messi, Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney on show. This year hosts Brazil are going off as World Cup betting favourites at 5.00, neighbours Argentina and reigning World Cup champions Spain following closely at 7 times the money. Constant over-rated England only gives 13 times the money which probably is too low unless they can change their hopeless form in the previous tournaments. There is still a while for the 2014 tournament but why not try some long terms bet which might be very valuable. Above odds are from Ladbrokes.
World Cup Betting – Winner Predictions
It’s always very difficult to over look Brazil when it comes to World Cup predictions. They start the tournament in Group G along with Ivory Coast, North Korea and Portugal. It’s a pretty easy run in apart from Portugal who’ll have one of the best footballers in the world this year Ronaldo in their starting line up. Nevertheless it looks like Brazil should be able to pick up some early momentum and cruise into the knockout stages of the tournament.
In terms of their own starting line up Brazil will undoubtedly be fielding one of the strongest sides on paper you’ll see in the entire tournament. They’ve got world beaters like Kaka and Ronaldinho who can tear any defence in world football to shreds! We’ll be backing Brazil to win the tournament and given the fact they are second favourites in the World Cup betting markets you can get an attractive 6.2 at Betfair.com.
When it comes to World Cup predictions we have to talk a little bit about the pre tournament favourites Brazil. They are currently priced at 5.00 (4/1) on Betfair.com which in our opinion is slightly narrow. They do have the home advantage though and has proven very good in World Cup tournaments.
Spain are the current World Cup champions which shows they are back to winning ways but historically they have failed to perform on the biggest stage time and time again. This time round things might be a little different but at that price we don’t fancy them. We don’t blame anyone for backing Spain, they’ve got a great side on paper, but we’ll be leaving them alone for the 2014 tournament.
World Cup Betting – Long shot Predictions
We always like to predict a long shot for the World Cup and this year it’s easier than ever! With the outstanding form we’ve seen in domestic football in Spain and during the Champions League how can anyone rule out Argentina when they’ve got Messi in their starting line up. Messi has been without doubt the best footballer in the world this year and he’s the kind of guy that on his day could win you the game on his own versus any team in the world. He has electric pace, unbelievable ball control and his ability to finish is nothing short of sensational.
Quite a few people seem to have disregarded Argentina when it comes to World Cup betting but they are well worth a punt on in our opinion. Currently they are priced at 7.00 (6/1) on Ladbrokescom so head over there and grab some of the serious value while it’s still on offer!
