How To Bet On The World Cup
Successfully betting on the World Cup may sound daunting due to the size of the event and the number of nations competing on it, but in reality, it’s far from an impossible task.
Research
The most important factor in your World Cup 2022 betting journey is to research the teams you think have a chance of winning in detail.
Recent tournament performance, injury records, and overall World Cup form should be key factors in your research. Certain teams have strong on-paper squads, yet have disappointing records in international tournaments, whilst, on the other hand, most World Cups have had at least one ‘dark horse’ team who exceed expectations.
World Cup Outrights - Who Are The Favourites?
An integral part of your pre-bet research is to examine the World Cup 2022 odds and see who the bookies are backing. Perhaps you fancy a particular team to do well. For example, you might want to bet on England to win.
Prior to the start of the tournament, we can see that the bookies’ favourites to win are below. Please note that odds are correct at the time of publishing and subject to change.
- Brazil - 9/2
- France - 5/1
- England - 13/2
- Argentina - 7/1
- Spain - 8/1
- Germany - 9/1
- Netherlands - 12/1
- Belgium - 14/1
- Portugal - 14/1
- Denmark - 88/1
Bet on World Cup outrights at Midnite.
Brazil, France, England, and Argentina are the four teams topping bookies’ predictions and all have had success at the tournaments prior.
Argentina claimed the 2021 Copa America by beating Brazil, whilst England reached their first major tournament final in almost 60 years at Euro 2020.
The Spanish national team may not be as dominant as they were in the late 2000s, but the emergence of promising young players under manager Luis Enrique has made them a formidable force yet again.
As we know, anything can happen in football and there’s always a chance of a surprise winner. However, you should pay attention to who the bookies are backing if you wish to bet as intelligently as you can.
World Cup 2022 Betting Markets
You don’t have to bet on the outright winners if you don’t want to, as there’s a host of markets available at the World Cup.
Group Winners
The World Cup group stage can be highly exciting, and punters can bet on who tops each group.
Every World Cup has at least one ‘group of death’ - which is when a lesser-ranked nation is potted in a group with three strong ones. Betting on these games, particularly when the strong nations face each other, can be extremely challenging, yet extremely exciting.
Progression to the second round is available for those finishing 1st and 2nd in their group. Those who finish 3rd and 4th are eliminated.
World Cup Top Scorers Betting
The World Cup Golden Boot has been won by some unusual players over the years, several of which didn’t win the competition with their national sides.
Harry Kane, James Rodriguez, and Diego Forlan were the three most recent Golden Boot winners prior to the 2022 edition, and none of these players lifted the trophy.
The quality of the opposition in the group stages plays a vital role in who scored the most goals throughout the tournament.
World Cup 2022 Player Of The Tournament
The World Cup’s best and most influential player receives the Golden Ball award, won previously by legends like Zinedine Zidane, Luka Modric, and Brazil’s Ronaldo.
The Golden Ball market is a competitive one as its winners often do not win the World Cup itself. In fact, the time a player won the Golden Ball whilst playing for the winners was way back in 1994, when Romario was awarded the prize.
There’s also the FIFA Young Player Award for the best player under the age of 21. With exciting superstars like Jude Bellingham, Jamal Musiala and Pedri gracing the 2022 World Cup, it presents an exciting market.
World Cup 2022 Betting Offers
The World Cup only comes around every four years, so you may as well make the most out of the tournament whilst it’s here and bookmakers will be offering a host of World Cup 2022 betting offers and free bets.
Free Bets
Most major online bookmakers will offer a selection of enticing betting offers to both attract new customers and capitialise on the World Cup’s popularity.
The betting offers you should expect to see come in the form of World Cup 2022 Free Bets and other bonuses. As you now know, you can use free bets to your advantage by placing educated, pragmatic bets on outcomes you’re convinced have a chance of occurring.
World Cup 2022 Odds Boost
One of the most popular and sought-after betting offers comes in the form of boosted odds on World Cup games of major importance.
Boosted odds are largely-self explanatory. Let’s say, for example, that the odds for an England victory over the United States are usually 1/2, but the bookies instead offer 20/1 for a limited time. This means that the punter can make a reasonable return on a game that England were expected to win anyway.
Not every online bookmaker offers enhanced odds, so it’s worth double-checking your chosen betting platform to see if this is an option.
Some bookmakers also offer no-lose bets, where punters stake their own money, but win it back if their bet loses. Not every bookie offers this service, but they are very popular regardless.
World Cup Betting Offers Summary
There are a host of World Cup 2022 betting offers out there for what promises to be an exciting tournament. From free bets to boosted odds, there’s no shortage of ways to capitalise on the popularity of football’s most famous tournament.
