Sports Betting Revenues Surge During FIFA World Cup
Summary
The FIFA World Cup is a major attraction for sports bettors, with an estimated $2 billion wagered so far. Sportsbooks are offering more creative betting options than ever before.Article
Every four years, the FIFA World Cup captivates not only fans but also sports bettors worldwide. This year is no exception, with an estimated $2 billion wagered globally. Countries like England and Italy are leading in terms of bets placed.
Recognizing this opportunity to attract new customers, bookmakers are offering a wide array of betting options. Creative sportsbooks present a diverse selection of odds for football enthusiasts. One popular choice is live betting, which allows you to place bets during the game. This offers the advantage of watching the game first and then making informed decisions based on team performance.
Predicting the World Cup winner remains one of the most favored bets. Brazil, a strong contender this year, has received significant backing, with 33% of bettors picking them to take the trophy.
For those confident in their predictive skills, the halftime/fulltime double result option offers higher rewards. For example, if Team A is playing Team B, the odds might look like this:
Halftime/Fulltime Odds
- A win - A win: +350 (Team A leads at halftime and wins the game)- A win - Draw: +850 (Team A leads at halftime, but the game ends in a draw)
- A win - B win: +3500 (Team A leads at halftime, but Team B wins the game)
- Draw - A wins: +500 (Halftime draw, but Team A wins the game)
- Draw - B wins: +380 (Halftime draw, but Team B wins the game)
Betting on scenarios like "Draw - A wins" can be advantageous if you're betting on a favorite, as it significantly increases your potential return.
Take the France vs. Togo match, for example. The standard odds for France to win were -500 (bet $500 to win $100). However, betting on a halftime draw with a French win offered much better odds at +220 (bet $100 to win $220).
As the tournament progresses towards its conclusion, matches are expected to become tighter, with teams focusing heavily on defense. This can benefit spread bettors who wager on the goal differences. For example:
- England -1.5 (+125): England must win by at least two goals.
- Ecuador +1.5 (-120): You win if Ecuador wins, draws, or loses by just one goal.
The grand finale, featuring the two best teams, will take place in Berlin on July 9th, wrapping up this thrilling World Cup event.
