Location, location, location when betting on the World Cup
A new and emerging market which you can bet on with the World Cup is how teams will perform on different continents. Now, if you are biased about your own team, it can be easy for you back the continent on which you live. However, through using the facts and thinking more realistic about viable outcomes at the conclusion of this sporting event, you could find that it is far more likely that you will be along the right lines – having the potential to earn yourself a decent bit of money in the process.
In this article, we are going to provide you with a frank and honest breakdown of the performance on each continent which has been deemed as a market. If you are looking for a thrill in your gambling experience, you could find that you will be backing continents with a larger amount of countries.
Asia is an example of a continent which has a very limited World Cup betting market. There are only three countries for you to choose from – with there being a clear favourite seen in Japan. Even though they might not be the strongest team in some respects, it is likely that they are going to advance further in competition because they have been placed in a Group which does not have as stiff competition as the countries which North and South Korea have to compete with in their respective categories to advance.
As you can see, it can be important for you to assess the individual merit of many countries (and how they compare with one another) if you are going to be knowledgeable on which nation in a continent is going to perform best considering the competition they face in the Group and the experience which they have had in the latter stages of the event in the past.
Meanwhile, the African teams have more of an even footing because of how many of the experienced footballers that are in the six countries available in most markets have played for international teams prior to this event.
Things certainly get interesting when you journey to South America, a continent which has two strong teams in the form of Brazil and Argentina. Even though some online bookmakers have given equal odds between the two countries to be the most successful nation in their continent, there are some experts who are tipping for Brazil to perform stronger – with even a high chance of entering the finals. The main reason for this is because of how 80% of the World Cup finals they were in have been outside of Europe, and this makes South Africa a great place to make their mark.
Lastly now, it’s to Europe – where out of the thirteen countries in available markets through bookmakers, only three (England, Italy and Spain) are believed to have a fighting chance of going far. This is from taking into consideration how other countries have performed in the run-up to the World Cup in other games, with France being notably weak.
