The Soccer World Cup presents some golden opportunities for some prolonged
and lucrative sports betting. Soccer world cup betting needs to take into
account that the tournament format changes midway through the competition.
During the pool stages you are able to bet on which teams will make it through
to the knockout stages. The important thing to realise here, when planning your
betting, is that due to the round-robin format, which sees each team play each
other team in a group, a team?s prospects for advancement hinge not only on its
own performance, but on the performance of the other teams. A team that appears
to have no hope can all of a sudden find itself advancing is a more favoured
team suffers a disastrous loss. This opens up more betting permutations, and
allows the outsiders a better chance at success than if it were a straight
knockout round. To bet successfully, you will need to stay on top of things and
familiarise yourself with all the world cup betting permutations at this stage
of the competition. This is your opportunity to take a few chances and bet on
these outsiders to earn some money on betting whether they will make the next
round or not.
When the quarterfinal line-up has been determined, you will see that there
will be fewer betting permutations, as it is then a simple case of strength
versus strength. In other words, a team will go through if it wins, regardless
of the outcomes of other matches. By this stage you will also have gathered a
fair appreciation of the relative form of the different teams, and will be able
to make more informed betting decisions. Bear in mind when betting on the
eventual winner that not many different teams have won the world cup in its
history, so you stand a better chance betting on the traditional favorites than
on the outsiders once it comes down to the knockout stage.
It is not just the match outcomes that you can bet on ? there are all sorts
of other world cup bets that you place. You can bet on who will score the
opening goal, who will score the most goals ? both of these overall as well as
per team. Bets can also be taken on who the player of the tournament will be.
