World Cup Odds – Brazil, Argentina, France
With the tournament now underway, outright World Cup Winners Odds have tighten in substantially on some of the more favored names – as is common in many futures markets.
Brazil remain the bookies’ unanimous favorite, though current odds have fallen to around +250-350 from +450-500 a few months ago. In the early running, England, perhaps surprisingly, sat second-favorite around +600 (7/1), but are now fourth- or fifth-favorite at around +900.
Messi’s Argentina have filled the second spot, with outright winners odds much shorter than they were before. From around +1000 they’ve tightened right in to a range of +295 – +500 mark. If you fancy backing the Albicelestes, there’s some value to be had out there.
Defending champions France remain third-favorite, widely, but the odds have lengthened a little and are now around +750-800, from +650 or so a few months ago (7.5/1).

Next up is Spain, with World Cup odds of up to +800-900, followed by Germany (+1100-1200) and the Netherlands (+1200-1400). KDB’s Belgium, despite being FIFA world-ranked #2 are now less favored, at around +1800 than Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal at +1400.
