2006 Soccer World Cup Props

When you look at the 2006 World Cup odds offered by your favorite online sportsbook you might be surprised to see the range of World Cup soccer betting markets that is available. That's because there are a lot of proposition bets, also known as prop bets in the online gambling industry, that create additional lucrative betting markets for outcomes that go beyond the mere results of games.

There are many different types of Soccer World Cup Prop bets and you'll be able to bet on all of them in the majority of World Cup games. For instance you might want to bet on the number of corners in a given game, or the number of yellow and red cards that the referee will hand out. There are also prop bets for the entire World Cup tournament and we'll start off by looking at some of the more interesting World Cup proposition bets for 2006.

You can bet on any team's total goals that they will score in the event. Online sports books like Bet365 have come up with an over / under number for the total number of goals a country is expected to score in the World Cup. So, Angola's number is 2.5 goals. You can either bet that they will score 3 goals or more in the World Cup or less than 3 goals. This is a very profitable prop bet for shrewd soccer handicappers. For instance we would recommend taking Over 5.5 goals for Czech Republic as well as Under 3.5 goals for South Korea.

You can bet on the stage of elimination for individual teams. You can also bet on which continent will produce the winner of the World Cup. That would appear to be a two-horse race between South America and Europe, as has always been the case in the past.

Think you know which group will produce the overall winner? Wager on it because there will be a World Cup proposition bet that provides odds on that market. Think you know which group will produce the higest number of combined goals? That's another proposition bet just waiting for action.

There will be many proposition bets that are specific to each game. The most popular of these is usually the first goalscorer market, because the odds are so enticing. Even a favorite for this prop bet will return plenty of cash for a winning bet. Other popular proposition bets for individual games ask you to predict the time of the first goal, or to add up the numbers on the goalscorers' jerseys and either go Over or Under a specific total.

Watching the World Cup in Germany promises to be thrilling but it is far more exciting if you have a few proposition bets going on the games as well, and some of the payouts for these prop bets are huge because the odds offer far higher returns than merely wagering on which team will win, that is if you are fortunate enough to handicap the game correctly!
