This upcoming weekend the FIFA experiment begins, the quest for an oversized gold paperweight that would fit in pretty well at Mara Lago. Gianni Infantino's name is already engraved on it not once, but twice. We are witness to a new age states one engraving. The jury is still out at how successful the tournament is going to be but that is not my problem. I'm here trying to make a few bucks in the offseason. First unlike the world cup where the motivation is for every team taking part the club world cup is sweetened with tons of cash from FIFA to try to make this a "thing" going forward. All teams outside of UEFA will take this seriously not just for the money but to showcase their players and teams on a world stage. Only 4 teams that already have boat loads of money will view this as a nice to have trophy and those are coincidently also the 4 favorites; Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and PSG. That leaves the other 8 teams from within UEFA that will care about the money and have a legit chance at winning.
The easiest path to the Quarter finals in my opinion is in group F and Dortmund are the rightful favorites. If they win their group they will also avoid another UEFA side in Group E, unless they meet Inter Milan who are an old team that played all the way to the end losing the Champions League Final and losing out to Napoli domestically on the final weekend. As I truly think Inter is "gassed" and will be my fade material in this competition. That being said my first future bet is;
1. Borussia Dortmund outright winner @ 26.00/+2500 (1u) Bet365
