World Cup Betting Opportunities 2007
17th June 2008, by Taylor Luk
Centrebet offers 2007 World Cup betting odds on a variety of sports. Football fans may have to wait until 2010 for the FIFA World Cup competition but sports such as cricket, golf and tennis are staging World Cup tournaments in 2007. There are more than a dozen events on which to bet.
2007 World Cup Betting Opportunities Include
2007 World Cup betting odds to be offered by Centrebet include the following sports competitions (listed alphabetically): alpine skiing, bandy, cross country skiing, cricket, golf, horse racing, Nordic combined, ski jumping, rugby union, speedway, swimming, table tennis and tennis. Some are more famous than others but we will focus on the ones that are the best known. They are likely to interest the most punters.
Centrebet hits the competition for a six when it comes to Cricket World Cup betting odds. Hosted by the West Indian nations of Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, St Vincent and Barbados, the 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup is an event that showcases 16 teams as they battle for the title of World Champion. The Australians are the current champions and go into the tournament as favourites, but the one day game is known for its upsets.
Centrebet will be offering a comprehensive range of betting options for every match of the Rugby Union World Cup in France, which is widely tipped to be the largest sporting event of 2007. Of the twenty competing nations, New Zealand are favourites to win the prized silverware with the hosts, Australia and Ireland also tipped as real contenders. Tournaments such as the Northern Hemisphere's 6 Nations and Southern Hemisphere's Tri-Nations are a good indicator of which teams are in favour going into the showpiece event.
Centrebet offers odds on every World Cup tournament in the winter sports of alpine skiing, cross country skiing, Nordic combined and ski jumping as these are some of the most popular betting competitions with Asian, European and North American punters. Benjamin Raich triumphed in the 2006 World Cup of alpine skiing, while Tobias Angerer, Hannu Manninen and Jakub Janda took out the year's cross country skiing, Nordic combined and ski jumping titles respectively.
More 2007 World Cup Betting
Golf betting is very popular at Centrebet, and the World Golf Championships include the 2007 World Cup. It lacks the prestige of the four major tournaments - Masters Tournament, US Open, Open Championship and PGA Championship - though it is climbing the food chain. The Dubai World Cup is the richest thoroughbred race meeting, with the eponymous feature event sporting a purse of US$6,000,000. Speedway betting is rising in popularity and its World Cup is an annual international team competition, while the World Cup of tennis is a tournament that is gathering more and more support on the circuit.
The Soccer World Cup does not kick off until 2010 but in 2007 Centrebet will offer betting odds on regional championships such as the Asian Cup and Euro 2008 qualifiers. It also covers most major domestic football competitions, including Europe's three most popular tournaments - Italian Serie A, English Premiership League and the Spanish Primera Division. In order to bet on these and other competitions, you first need to register to bet with Centrebet on our secure bet site. You can check our online sports betting calendar for more information on upcoming events. Punters are still flocking to Centrebet, the world's first online sports bookmaker, because of its better prices, wide selection of football betting odds and guaranteed payment of winnings.
