England World Cup ... England to win!
?World Cup Betting will be slipping into 4th gear this week with start of England?s friendlies and the build up to the announcement of the final 23 man squad. As always the betting on them for the World Cup builds pace as hopes of glory gather. Here are some of their prices ...extrabet currently have England as 11/2 shots to win the World cup however that has drifted from a low of 5/1 a month ago. Elsewhere they are 1/3 to win their Group against the USA, Slovenia and Algeria. As for how far they can progress they are 10/3 to be dumped out at the Quarter Final stages; the same price as the Semis and Final.
Top Goalscorer betting is still one of the most popular markets and Rooney trades at 9/1 currently with in-form Lampard 40/1 and Jermain Defoe 50/1. Emile Heskey .... not priced.
Spread Betting on the World Cup is as popular as ever with England?s Total Tournament Goals trading at 10-10.7. On the 100 Index (Winner 100 points, 75pts for the Runner Up, 50pts for the losing semi-finalists, 25pts for the losing Quarter finalists, Last 16 get 10 pts.) England trade at 38-41 meaning the spreads market expects them to not quite reach the Semi-Finals
extrabet?s Chris Shillington ...
?We?ve seen money for England as always but there is still some worry with punters over the injury troubles of Ferdinand and in particular Rooney. Once they are green-lighted we expect to register to start ringing.?
