There are more betting options for the World Cup than there are for any other major world sporting event, including the Super Bowl. We’re scoured the thousands of bets you can make and have picked the ten best bets to make on this World Cup.
This gives you 25 teams to win it all: Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, Ecuador, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, Switzerland, Wales, plus every Asian, Africa, and North American team.
Iran beat Morocco, drew Portugal, and lost 1-0 to Spain in 2018 and their team has significantly more experience now (they’re the oldest team in the tournament). They also have more players excelling in Europe this time around.
The U.S. just does not have the strikers or central defenders to compete with better sides and Wales doesn’t have the squad depth to compete in such a truncated tournament.
Senegal is missing their top player and Qatar is only here because they are hosting. Netherlands has made the semifinals the last two times they’ve played in a World Cup and Ecuador has the start of a golden generation here.
With Senegal missing Sadio Mane, Ghana appears to be the best CAF team to make the round of 16. Ghana is better than South Korea and does not have a top heavy group, with Portugal and Uruguay as the two favored teams.
Okay, this isn’t a serious bet, but it’s a fun wager to put $1 on and root for.
The clear top striker on one of the best teams for +3400. Yes, please.
RE: Sommer, this is a solid value for a team likely to win a number of 1-0 games. Switzerland has a chance for an easier knockout draw and Sommer could win the hardware if he just makes the semifinals.
They’re likely to beat Serbia and make it out of the group, like they did in 2018, and they can 1-0 or 0-0 with PKs their way to a title one out of every 50 times or so.
The Ronaldo drama might go sideways, and Fernandes is sitting there ready to take the mantle from his (former?) teammate.
We’ve seen no evidence that Gareth Bale can go 90 minutes once, let alone three times, so Kieffer is our man.
As the 51st ranked team in the world playing against one of the tournament favorites, Saudi Arabia’s 2-1 upset of Argentina at the World Cup can rightfully be called one of the biggest upsets in sports history. The underdogs entered the g...

The World Cup only comes around once every four years, unless they bizarrely award it to Qatar where it must be played in the winter, in which case, it comes around every 4.5 years. We’ll have a full betting preview coming before the World ...

I hesitate to call this World Cup normal, but this is the last traditional 32 team World Cup before they expand to 48 teams. With apologies to Italy, this tournament has virtually every world soccer power, the three greatest players of...
