World Cup and football betting at Sky Bet

Betting Press Staff - 3 Jul 2009

As World Cup 2010 qualification enters its final phase, Sky Bet is offering punters who like to bet on football numerous World Cup betting markets.

If you already have a hunch on who will win the entire competition, Sky Bet offers a World Cup betting market for this. Spain and Brazil are joint favourites at 5/1 but for those who take a more patriotic approach to football betting, England are 7/1 and Scotland are massive 4000/1 outsiders.

Shorter term there are still many qualification issues to be resolved. Customers can bet on football markets such as the winners of each European World Cup group and whether or not the home nations will qualify. Northern Ireland currently top their tight group and are 13/2 on World Cup betting to finish in that position and 11/2 to qualify by any means for the World Cup.

For those who are closely monitoring England’s progress, you can bet on football history repeating itself with Croatia 10/1 to inflict England’s first defeat. A less pessimistic football betting option is for England to remain unbeaten throughout qualification (1/2). It is 11/4 that England will maintain their 100% record and finish with ten wins out of ten.

Beyond 2010, Sky Bet are already offering some 2018 World Cup betting markets. England are 11/8 favourites to host this competition and the sentimental punter can bet on football outcomes such as England to host and win the 2018 World Cup (25/1) and even to host and beat Germany in the final in a repeat of 1966 (150/1).

Football betting has never been bigger and with so many World Cup betting markets that Sky Bet are offering, there is plenty for punters to get their teeth into.
