Early World Cup 2012 Bets

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

The summer of 2012 will be one to remember for sport. The summer months will feature the World Cup in South Africa and the London Olympics. English sports fans will be excited about both as long as England qualify for the World Cup. They begin their campaign next month against Andorra and manager Fabio Cappello will be determined to uphold his reputation as a first class manager.

Several side will have the chance of winning the tournament, but with four years still to go, who are the bookies favourites? Heres a quick look at the betting favourites at this early stage:

Like every major international football tournament, the two south American sides are favourites. Brazil have won footballs most prized possession 5 times. Brazil are currently at a very decent 5/1 to lift the cup for the 6th time. Fellow South American side Argentina always play stunning football and are currently producing some of the worlds best young players. They are 7/1 with bet 24 to win in South Africa. Euro 2008 champs Spain are now 8/1to repeat the success of this summer and with players like Fernado Torres they will certainly be a major threat.

England, under new coach Cappello are 12/1 to win the cup for the first time since 1966. You may think its too early to bet on an event so far away. But with everyday the tournament draws closer the odds will get shorter for the favourites.

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

Sports betting online is now so easy! Simply sign up an account deposit some money and your off! All major bookies offer a wide range of combination bets, and as the Premiership gets closer bookies are holding bets for the top scorer. Here a quick look at the golden boot favourites:

With the Premiership’s opening fixtures beginning on the 16th August fans are getting excited around the country. Last season United winger Ronaldo won the golden boot and will be looking to repast this success once again if he stays at United. The big four clubs, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and United all have deadly strikers and each has the ability to score plenty of goals.

Pre season favourite is Fernando Torres (4/1), who will be hoping to help Liverpool challenge for the title. The Spaniard had a stunning debut season and will be looking to build upon that by winning the golden boot whilst helping Liverpool win some silverware. With strike partner Robbie Keane signing for the Reds, they promise to score plenty of goals between them.

Arsenal will be looking to Emanuel Adebayor and Van Persie for their goals. Adebayor (8/1) had a great first half of the season last year, however failed to find the back of the net as the season drew to a close. Van
Persie has had numerous seasons plagued with injury and will be determined to show the league his real quality (16/1 Betfred).

Chelsea have been hit with the news that Drogba (8/1 bet365) will miss the start of the season due to an injury. Nicholas Aneleka has been in stunning form pre season and Scolari is reportedly very pleased with the Frenchman. If Aneleka (16/ holds down a regular place in the side he can score loads of goals and has plenty of experience.

For United they will be hoping to Ronaldo repeats the form he showed last year. It will be difficult has he was exceptionally good, but he will no doubt score plenty and will create opportunities for Tevez (25/1 Ladbrokes), Rooney (18/1 888sport) and maybe even Berbatov (10/1) if he signs for the champions.

The sports betting web has allowed punter to bet on specific events, scoreline and goal scorers from the comfort of their own home.
