BRAZIL VS SOUTH AFRICA CONFEDERATIONS CUP BETTING TIPS
If you're betting on today's 2009 Confederations Cup clash between Brazil and South Africa, you should check out William Hill because they've got a stellar promotion for new and existing customers. Simply make a £20 single bet on the outright 90 minutes market and you'll get a free £5 bet for the live correct score market- How's that for a solid deal? With Brazil at 2/7 dropping £20 on them is hardly a shot in the dark and once they start running up the score, you'll be thanking the money gods for that free £5. South Africa carries a price of 11/1 and the draw has increased to 4/1 from 7/2. The lowest-price correct score is 2-0 to Brazil at 9/2 but I think that the margin could be more than that if Brazil are firing on all cylinders. We know that upsets can happen in the Confederations Cup (see: yesterday) but I'm unsure if lightning will strike twice in the same place. 3-0 to Brazil pays 13/2 while 3-1 Brazil pays 9/1. The Bofana Bofana are 16/1 to secure a 1-0 victory and 66/1 to match the United States score of 2-0. If they score three goals or more and win, you're looking at 100/1. The Samba Boys to win both halves pays out at a generous 8/11 and Draw/Brazil pays 3/1. Brazil/South Africa is the big payout at 66/1. South Africa can also be backed at 11/2 on a draw no bet. Brazil's price is a microscopic 1/16. Over 2 goals is listed at an odds-on price of 8/13 compared to under 2 which is listed at 16/5. Exactly 2 goals is 14/5. Luis Fabiano is the likely first goalscorer at 10/3 and he also carries an anytime price of 4/5. He is 20/1 to hit a hat trick. Kaka is 9/2 first and last and 6/5 anytime, the same odds as Manchester City's Robinho. Chelsea target Alexandre Pato is 5/1 first and last and he carries a 5/4 anytime price. Kleberson (remember him?) is somehow on this team and he's listed at 20/1 first and last and 7/1 anytime. Thembinkosi Fanteni is 11/2 anytime and 14/1 first and last. Katlego Mashego is listed at an identical price, as is Bernard Parker. Katlego Mphela is 16/1 first and last and 6/1 anytime. Everton's Steven Pienaar is 25/1 first and last and 8/1 anytime. This one could easily go down 4-0 or 4-1 Brazil, but I am definitely backing the South Africans to put up a good fight and put points on the board. 3-2 Brazil or even 3-2 South Africa is not out of the question.
