World Cup Winners

Since the championship began back in 1930, there have only ever been seven World Cup winners. The distribution of World Cup winners looks like this: France 1, England 1, Argentina 2, Uruguay 2, Germany 3, Italy, 3, and finally Brazil with an unprecedented 5 World Cup victories. Naturally this list of World Cup winners coincides to a greater or lesser degree with the current online sports books and odds makers' favorites.

Of all the returning World Cup winners, it is team Brazil, with its mesmerizing manner of play that is being touted by sports-books as this year's favorite. What this means for gambling is difficult to say. While Brazil is certainly one of the safest World Cup winners to place one's money upon, other World Cup winners such as Argentina, Germany, Italy, and England are showing a lot of promise on the field and in the books.

Indeed, the fact that the six most recent World Cup winners were the home team makes a bet on Germany a much more appealing prospect than it otherwise might. Of course, it was Germany that lost on their home field all too recently in an embarrassing 5-1 game against England. While this does not necessarily suggest England as a profitable bet, it does seem to call caution to throwing one's wallet behind the Germans this time around, despite the home field trend in World Cup Winners of late.

Anybody planning on betting on one of the returning World Cup winners should also look at some of the teams with solid potential to become number eight on the list. Portugal and the Netherlands are well positioned to take the trophy, as is Spain. A bit of handicapping and surfing the net for the most recent future bets indicate these three to be possible value bets, assuming you are confident they will win.

While betting on who may be added to this list of World Cup winners, or who will add another number to their list of wins, will not reach its peak until the tournament begins, there are future bets already available on categories ranging from the next World Cup winners, to top goal-scorer, and how far a particular team will be able to progress. In other words, betting on the World Cup need not be only about betting on potential World Cup winners. If you've been watching Costa Rica enough to predict where they'll place, then by all means put a few dollars down!
