WORLD CUP 2010 GROUP G BETTING TIPS AND LATEST ODDS
There isn’t much debate about the fact that Group G is the Group of Death at the 2010 World Cup with footballing powerhouse Brazil taking on Portugal, the Ivory Coast and the mighty North Korea.
You’ll find Brazil plausibly-priced at a 1/2 listing to win their group but with some quality teams here, they may wind up drawing a crucial match. I actually have always thought of North Korea as the surprise outfit here as many of these teams don’t know anything about them or their players.
Portugal are strong second favourites in the group and they trade at 11/4 to beat out Brazil and win the group. Ivory Coast were looking good and were my outside bet until Didier Drogba was ruled out of the tournament with an injury. They are 5/1 to win Group G while North Korea trade at a massive 80/1 to win Group G.
In terms of outright qualification (first and second spot) you’ve got Portugal at 4/7 and Ivory Coast at an 11/10 price. North Korea trade at 16/1 and that’s a very interesting bet on a side that may just squeak through to the next stage. Stranger things have happened.
The group forecast favours Brazil/Portugal at 6/4 while Brazil/Ivory Coast is listed at a 5/2 price. Portugal/Brazil is trading at 4/1 and Ivory Coast/Brazil is at 13/2. I think those prices are so short because the bookies expect Brazil to drop at least one match. Brazil/North Korea is the bet here and I like that 33/1 price.
North Korea are trading at 1/10 to finish bottom of their group while Ivory Coast are at 7/1. Portugal are trading at 10/1 while Brazil are a massive 40/1 to finish bottom of their group.
Should the 2010 World Cup be won by a team coming out of Group G, you have a very short price of 11/4. Brazil are 9/2 to win the World Cup while Portugal trade at 25/1.
