May 15 - The World Cup for 2006, which will be held in Germany, is less than a month away, and we've got the latest World Cup odds direct from the leading online sportsbook, Bet365.com.
The Insider will also offer a free World Cup betting preview closer to kickoff. The first game in this year's tournament will see the hosts Germany battle Costa Rica. The Germans will also be pitted against Ecuador and Poland (this time it should resemble a fair fight) in one of the weakest World Cup groups. The soccer handicapping will be courtesy of Mycapper.com, a leading online sports handicapping service, that plans to offer free and guaranteed picks for the entire 2006 World Cup.
The latest odds to win the World Cup favor Brazil quite heavily. The defending champions are 5/2 to defend their title according to Bet365.com, and although it seems like a relatively short price one has to give the Brazlians a ton of respect as they are overloaded with talent.
Next in the betting is England at 7/1. It seems somewhat inexplicable since England has won nothing for 40 years, nor have they come close to winning anything other than that trophy they gave themselves for beating Scotland every other year. England might have to play without Rooney, and if that happens they have no chance of winning it all. Actually, we would be so bold as to say that they have no chance of winning regardless.
The best betting value is Holland at 12/1. They offer superior value than Germany, Italy, and France, all teams ahead of them in World Cup betting at the moment. Argentina are also a shorter price at 9/1, and that's another team that has what it takes to go a long way at this FIFA World Cup.
The biggest prices to win the World Cup are Saudi Arabia at 1000/1 and Trinidad & Tobago at 1500/1.
