If you like to have a go at gambling every now and then on the big events like
the Grand National or the Super Bowl, you will no doubt be looking forward to
this summer's World Cup in South Africa and all the exciting opportunities this
brings for a quick flutter or maybe a giant mega bet. What every casual better
wants to know is: who is going to win? Any leaks about injuries or discontent in
the various national camps can result in sudden fluctuations in the odds for
each team to win. With all the speculation it is easy to lose track of who you
think you should bet on. Here is a rundown of the top teams who might be worth
staking your money on.
Brazil
An easy one. The unmistakeable blue
and yellow of Brazil is synonymous with skill, flare, technique and of course
winning the World Cup. As the most successful team to ever play in the World Cup
and with stars such as Kaka and Robinho, they have got to be one of the front
runners.
Spain
The current European Champions, Spain are the form
team at the moment, only just behind Brazil in the FIFA ranking in 2nd place.
Their major win was a long time coming as they have always had the skills but
never seemed to pull everything together at the right time. They won the
European Cup in 2008 and have barely dropped a point ever since.
Ghana
One that you might not expect, but as one of the strongest
teams to come out of the African continent they'll be hoping to at least make
their mark. Unlike flair teams such as the Ivory Coast Ghana depend on the
strength and depth of their squad. Despite being without the talismanic Essien,
they're well worth backing to make the semi's as a long shot. You'll certainly
get good odds.
Argentina
While they pretty much scrapped into the
tournament after a rocky qualifying campaign, and with controversial legend
Maradona at the helm, Argentina may seem like an outside bet. But when you look
at their squad which includes the world's top player Lionel Messi and Carlos
Tevez they start to appear a lot more appealing. This could well be their year.
The world cup is always a major event for bookmakers as they provide a range of
free bets instore and online. However, one of the best ways to take advantage is
by seeking out bet calculator systems to help you on your way.
Whoever
you bet on at this year's World Cup keep your eyes and ears open to all the
changes in the camps, as psychology at this level of the game plays a big part
in the outcome. Good luck and never bet more than you can afford to lose!
