World Cup Odds - 2006 World Cup Betting Odds

The 2006 world Cup odds are up and running; sports gamblers are betting on anything from top goal scorer to most yellow cards. So what things should you need to know before deciding on what bet to make? The following is an outlook on the 2006 World Cup betting odds.

Brazil is the favorite to win the whole thing at 4/1, with England (15/2), Germany (9/1), Italy (11/1), and Argentina just behind. Statistics hold well for European teams when coming into a tournament, as Brazil is the only nation to win outside their continent. Statistics also show that home advantage counts, as 6 of the 17 world cup winners have been the home nation. This makes the Germany World Cup odds look absolutely fantastic.

The top dogs in the race for the golden boot are Ronaldo (12/1), Adriano (12/1), and Henry (16/1). The striker usually needs six goals to win the golden boot, and all three of these players seem very capable of getting them.

You don't want to rule out the underdog, as underdogs have a trend of beating the odds. Crotia's Davor Suker took it in 98, and Bulgaria's Stoichkov shared the title in 94 at 80/1. This year Sweden's Ibrahamivic may be the underdog to beat off all opposition at a staggering 50/1. He is a proven striker who definitely has the ability to grab a dozen goals in the tournament.

There are some great World Cup odds for the group stages. Many gamblers decide that these are the type of bets they want to do during the World Cup. The only problem is that these World Cup odds are very small, as lots of the groups have clear favorites. U.S.A. is 7/1 to win group E, with Italy being famous for underachieving in the last few World Cups, and Czech being under form.



There are so many different types of bets during the World Cup (continent to win, reach semi finals, etc), it's impossible to mention them all. Just make sure you have a good look around, and don't always go for the clear favorite. The World Cup is famous for its unpredictability, so sometimes the underdog is the way to go. Whatever happens, and whatever World Cup odds you decide to lean toward, the World Cup should prove to be exciting for everyone, whether you are gambling on it or not. When it comes to excitement, fan enthusiasm, and frantic wagering, the World Cup is a definite leader in sporting events.
