2018 World Cup Betting Odds

The upcoming World Cup in Russia is already turning into a really interesting state of affairs as the betting markets begin to heat up all over the world. There is plenty to like about this year’ tournament and you’ll see a lot of the usual suspects competing for the role of 2018 World Cup favourite.

Right now, it appears as though the bookmakers favour Brazil and they are trading at a relatively competitive price to win the competition. Many will remember the horrendous match against Germany at the last World Cup that saw Brazil lose on home soil in a 7-1 shellacking.

It’s those very same Germans that trade just a few points behind Brazil in the wagering markets and they look good value for money as their best players have gotten even better and there are some great youth players coming through to offer up additional reinforcements.

France are the next best-priced contender in the mix here and they are a few points behind Germany. They are always an interesting outfit at World Cup’s and either tend to go out very early or hang around to the end where they might be able to possibly win the whole thing.

Spain are always a factor in tournaments like this and you can bank on them fielding a strong team anchored by the world’s current #1 goalkeeper David De Gea of Manchester United. They are very much in the mix for the tournament victory and nobody would be surprised to see them pull it off.

Argentina are another perennial contender and they are right in the competition with a very solid price here - in fact they are the first team listed at double digits in the long term betting markets.
