July 6 - One client of William Hill, the English bookmaker, has wagered 111,000 pounds or $203,000 on Italy to win the World Cup final against France. The punter originally bet $75,000 on Italy to win it all at odds of 7/2 (before their semi-final against Germany), and yesterday he bet another $128,000 on Italy at odds of 4/5.
This means if Italy goes on to win the World Cup the sports bettor in question will receive $558,000 from the sportsbook.
Other punters are expecting a low-scoring game, and the 0-0 score line after 90 minutes has attracted a lot of money at online sportsbooks. One sportsbook has already cut the odds for this result from 11/2 all the way down to 9/2.
If you want to bet on the exact result of the game, or you're looking for good odds on the 90-minute result take a look at the lines currently offered by Intertops. They've impressed us throughout this tournament with some very interesting prop bets as well as good stretches for key betting markets.
The sportsbooks are all offering juicy odds for a high-scoring game. It seems unlikely with the two best defensive teams in the final, but historically the stats point to a high scoring game. World Cup finals have averaged 3.6 goals during the 90 minutes.
