    World Cup Prop

    Previous Champion wins world cup: $1.58
    New Nation wins world cup: $2.30

    Previous winners include Argentina, Brazil, England, Germany, Italy, France and Uruguay.

    I really think one of the previous winners will win again this year, it is just Spain that scares me.

    What do you guys think?

    Previous wins it. Only Spain and Serbia would scare me. Let's look at it this way:

    1) No European nation has won the WC outside Europe and that may be the case in South Africa
    2) Spain look too obvious and teams with such excellent potential often get knocked out by an "outsider" team.

    Certain factors are heavily in favor of Argentina.

    Good point, getting very close to pulling the trigger on this one.

    Don't know which book. Gamebooker could be one of them.

    BTW, in the Real/Barca game, BetUSA is offering player to score first and I like these 2:

    Ronaldo +450
    Messi +450

    Let's get serious Wilford. Serbia will not win the world cup, period.

    Brazil WILL NOT win the world cup, Italy won't, Argentina is lacking in pieces.

    Spain and England are the only two teams I can see winning it at this point.

    I would not bet that Domestic because Spain is clearly the favorite. They have 2 of the top 5 strikers in the world, 3 of the top 10 midfielders/wing players in the world, probably the best defender if not one of the best in the world, and the best goalie in the world by far. They won the Euro cup with ease. And they all know how to play together. They're experienced, and either them or England are definitely the favorites. Argentina doesn't have enough to get it done. They only really have 1 dominant player, whereas Spain and England have several.

    England may have problems in defense.

    I don't like the bets.

    The only quality side in the way of Spain to the final is Argentina. Go take a look at the fixtures and potential meetings.

    Spain can do what France has done in 98 and 00. but reversed ....I love this team, and I think they have the biggest chance to win the trophy.
