Early World Cup favourites

Jun 4, 2010

With a week to go before the 2010 Soccer World cup kicks off in South Africa, some countries have taken the early lead in becoming the favourites amongst bookmakers to win this prestigious tournament. One thing is clear and that is that this world Cup is going to be extra special as it’s the first time in the history of the cup that it is hosted on African Soil. Online Sportsbooks have been inundated with bets flowing into their accounts by people making early speculations as to who will win the tournament.

The English team is heading up the storm to take the cup followed closely by Spain and Brazil. Bet 365 have Spain at odds of 4/1(5) which under circumstances are quite of a surprise with Italy only in the fourth position. The Italians would certainly argue that they will keep the cup again in 2010. With Sportbetting deposit methods like Neteller being the punter’s favourite for doing sportsbetting it is clear that we are in for a huge tournament hosted in South Africa.  Ladbrokes has France at 20/1 way down the ladder, which comes at a surprise as they are tipped to go all the way.

So England being on top followed by Spain and then Brazil, the question is asked if England can fight off their 44 year old drought by not lifting the biggest trophy in sporting history.they have had nothing to celebrate since they lifted the World Cup in 1966.  The sports bookies have found that England is firm favourites at 7/1(8) and it seems that the major operators might just back the bookies on this one.  The majority of the teams have arrived in South Africa and some teams are concluding their preparations by playing friendly games against their rivals from other groups before the big kick off on 11 June 2010.

The online operators are having a field day with betting taking place and with the overflow of online customers, going over to online casino or even bingo rooms. Online casinos make it easy for the players by offering them state of the art platforms and deposit methods to play at the respective online operators. By offering a variety of platforms, operators like Party Gaming will offer Party Casino and even Party Bets to their customers to make betting easy and to offer a variety of different games to bet against.  To facilitate this transition operators have a wide variety of online deposit methods to cater for each and every person.

Being 2010 the online punters expect that online betting will spike during the course of the World Cup, and rightly so. Sportsbetting and online casino companies make a living of events like these and there are surely going to be some serious online sportbetting taking place during the course of June 2010 and July 2010. Online players are advised to only use reputable online sportsbetting companies which are available on Gambling Deposits.
