World Cup 2014 – Top Goalscorer Futures Odds
Want to make money betting on the world cup? Well work with the champions of Fifa World Cup Betting. Sign up above.
Lionel Messi (Argentina) +750
Messi leads the dynamic Argentina attack and he ranked 2nd in Spain’s La Liga in goals this club season for Barcelona. Since Sergio Aguero and Gonzalo Higuain are also great strikers so teams cannot just focus on Messi, which is why he has the best odds.
Neymar (Brazil) +1000
Neymar only had 9 goals this season for Barcelona and that is because Messi is THE main guy there. Still the young up and coming star spearheads the Brazil attack.
Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) +1200
Ronaldo lead La Liga in goals this season and may be THE best striker in the world, Messi fans may have some thin to say about that, but he may not be the best bet. First of all he is playing in the Group of Death and second teams will really key on stopping him, as Portugal does not have a great 2nd option on offense.
Sergio Aguero (Argentina) +1600
Plays alongside Messi and Gonzalo Higuain for a loaded offense for Argentina and he has a good season at Manchester City that was derailed a big by injuries. If teams key on stopping Messi Aguero may make them pay, big time.
Diego Costa (Spain) +1600
Costa ranked 3rd this season in goals scored and for Spain he is one of the key players. However, he may not be fully ready for the tournament dealing with injuries at the end of the season for Atletico Madrid.
Luis Suarez (Uruguay)+2000
Suarez was on fire this whole season in the England Premier League scoring the most goals, by a wide margin, even though he missed several matches in the beginning of the season due to a suspension. He is the leader of a Uruguay offense that is one of the best playing this summer.
Fred (Brazil) +2000
Fred plays alongside Neymar and while does not get the press is still a great striker for the solid Brazil attack.
Gonzalo Higuain (Argentina) +2000
Yet another world-class striker for Argentina, as they have three players that rank in the top 10 in top goalscorer odds.
Karim Benzema (France) +2500
Benzema may be a good bet, as he leads the attack for France. The French imploded in 2010 in South Africa, but they have a solid team this year and Benzema leads the attack for the squad that is not playing in the toughest of groups.
Thomas Muller (Germany) +2500
Muller is THE main guy up front for the German squad that is totally stacked. However, the Germans get many of their goals from the midfield and Muller may not be the best bet.
Robin Van Persie (Netherlands) +2800
Surprising that Van Persie is this far down on the list, as he plays for Dutch team that has a great defense. He is a goal-scoring machine when healthy and his goal scoring numbers were down this season for Manchester City, as he was injured for part of the season.
Here are the players with the best odds to win the top goalscorer and you can check out the full list at Bovada.

Top South American World Cup Squad
Who are the best teams in South America for this years world cup? You will be getting our winning picks which have made our clients over 20 units so far. Sign up above and see what you are missing out on.
Brazil +110
Brazil is a loaded squad that may have one of the best defenses in the tournament and has a solid attack as well led by Neymar and Hulk. Oscar from Chelsea is the rock in the midfield and the host nation faces Croatia, Mexico, and Cameroon in Group A, which Brazil is the big betting favorite to win. They have a tough road to the finals even if they win Group A likely having to face Holland or Spain in the round of 16 match up and then maybe a dream match up facing Germany in the semifinals.
Argentina +162
Argentina likely has the best offense in the tournament and the trio of Barcelona’s Lionel Messi, Napoli’s Gonzolo Higain, and Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero all are in the top 10 in odds to win the best goal scorer in Brazil. They face Nigeria and Bosnia and Herzegovina in group play, which are like them in that they have a solid offense, but issues on defense. Team play is key for Argentina, as they sometimes rely too much on individual talent, which has hurt them in the last several World Cups when they face elite squads.
Uruguay +800
Uruguay won the World Cup the only other time it was hosted in Brazil back in 1950 and they have a solid squad this time around. The offense is the strength of the squad led by the trio of Luis Suarez, Edinson Cavani and Diego Forlan, who are all world-class strikers. Still, the defense is the concern and that showed in South American qualifying where they needed to force an intercontinental playoff tie just to qualify for Brazil. On top of that they are in a one of the tougher groups having to face Italy and England.
Colombia +900
Colombia came into the World Cup with high hopes, as they were very solid in the South American qualification process and they were not drawn into the toughest of groups. However, lead striker Radamel Falcao pulled out of the World Cup recently and his loss to the offense is a very big blow. He being out means the midfield has to create more offense and the defense is the weakness of the squad.
Chile +2500
Chile has a good squad and ended South American qualifying playing great but they were drawn into a very tough group having to face both Holland and Spain. They may have to win the group to go far, as if they finish 2nd they will likely have to face Brazil in the round of 16 match. The defense gave up 1.5 goals per match in qualifying and the midfield may be a big concern since the Spanish and Dutch are so good in that part of the pitch.
Ecuador +6600
Ecuador had a losing record in South American qualifying and they made it to Brazil because of their great home record, which was not surprising since they play at an altitude of over 9,000 feet. They are not in the toughest group, but still have a tall order to get out of it since it has France and Switzerland.
Top European World Cup Squad
Picking the top European team in the World Cup is a very hard pick since there are several squads that have legit odds to go the furthest led by Germany.
Germany +250
Germany has the best odds out of any European team to win the World Cup and while they were drawn into the Group of Death they definitely have the talent to go all the way. Their midfield and defense is great and while they do not have a superstar striker Thomas Muller is a solid attacker. If things work out as the odds makers say they will face Brazil in the semifinals.
Spain +300
Spain is the defending World Cup champion and plays in Group B along with Holland, who they beat in 2010 World Cup final. Winning the group may be key, as the 2nd place finisher will likely face Brazil in the round of 16. Cesc Fabregas, Andres Iniesta, and Xabi Alonso lead a great midfield that is great at dominating the time off possession.
Belgium +600
Belgium has a great all around squad with no big weaknesses and they were drawn into one of the easier groups. To go far in the tournament they may have to win the group since the runner up in their group faces the winner of the Group of Death, which is favored to be Germany.
France +900
France was embarrassed in the last World Cup, but they have a great squad for this summer and are the betting favorites to win their group, which is one of the easier ones. Karim Benzema leads the offense and Franck Ribery leads the solid midfield.
Holland +1200
Holland has the offense, but can their defense, which is their weakness, play well like they did 4 years ago in their run to the final? Robin Van Persie leads the solid Dutch attack and they have a good midfield led by Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder. Odds makers have them with the 2nd best odds to get out of their group, which includes Spain, and if they finish 2nd they will likely have to face Brazil, who they beat in the quarterfinals in 2010, in the round of 16.
Italy +1200
Italy is a veteran laden squad that still has a couple of heroes from the 2006 World Cup winning team in GK Gianluigi Buffon and MF Andrea Pirlo. The Italians are in a tough group along with England and Uruguay and have the best betting odds to win it. Winning their group would be key, as it would get them out of the side of the draw that will likely include Brazil and Germany.
Portugal +1400
Portugal is all about Cristiano Ronaldo, but the squad may be deeper than they were in 2010 when they were in the Group of Death and advanced. They are in that dreaded group again, but Joao Moutinho and Nani lead a solid midfield, which will take some pressure of Ronaldo.
England +1600
England is in a group with Italy and Uruguay and while the squad has a good midfield and Wayne Rooney up front the defense and GK Joe Hart are the main issues.
Here are the odds to be the top finishing team from Europe as of June 2nd.
Germany +250
Spain +300

Key Opening World Cup Matches
Obviously every group match for the World Cup is an important one, but the opening match is key in getting off to a good start. Here are some of the premier encounters, with their betting odds, in the first group matches.
Brazil -350 / Croatia +1100 / Draw +400
In the opening match of the World Cup Brazil is the HUGE betting favorite taking on Croatia. Brazil will have a lot of pressure on them in the tournament-
opening match and they face a solid Croatian midfield lead by Real Madrid’s Luka Modric. However, Croatia will be without main striker Mario Mandzukic, who is suspended for the match.
Spain -118 / Holland +333 / Draw +240
This is a rematch of the 2010 World Cup final and the loser may have to scramble to finish in 2nd Spanish have a great midfield and solid defense, which they showed by shutting out Holland 1-0 in the final in the last World Cup.
England +200 / Italy +150 / Draw +200
The match is one between a couple of squads that have a great midfield and each looks to get off to a good World Cup start after not having good showings in 2010. Italy has the best odds to win the group that is a tough one that includes
2010 quarterfinalist Uruguay.
Argentina -250 / Bosnia and Herzegovina +700 / Draw +350
Argentina has the 2nd Bosnia and Herzegovina squad in the first round. Bosnia and Herzegovina has a solid offense and surprisingly won their European qualification group. This match should be an exciting one since both feature dynamic offenses and each has issues on defense.
Germany +100 / Portugal +280 / Draw +230
This match is between these 2 squads that have the best odds to win the Group of Death. Germany is a great all-around team with one of the best midfields in the world while Portugal has Cristiano Ronaldo. Portugal is playing in the Group of Death for the 2nd place in the group.
Ghana +160 / USA +175 / Draw +220
The Dutch have the offense and the best odds to win the World Cup and face a dangerous straight World Cup.
This match is HUGE for both squads and each needs to take 3 points to have a shot to get out of the Group of Death since each will still have to face Portugal and Germany. Ghana has eliminated the USA in the last 2 World Cup tournaments.
Colombia -125 / Greece +375 / Draw +240
This is a match up between a Colombia squad that has the best odds to win the group and Greece, who have the worst odds. However, the Greeks have a great defense and Colombia recently got some bad news, as their key offensive player in striker Radamel Falcao pulled out of the World Cup with an injury.

Brazil +300
Brazil is the host and the odds on favorite to win their 6th the offense loaded with such world-class players of Neymar, Hulk, and Fred the defense may be the strength of the team. Brazil did not have to qualify as the host, but they have won all of their friendly matches this season and won the Confederations Cup last year.
Argentina +400
Argentina may have the best offense in the tournament, but can they play as a team and advance past the quarterfinals for this first time since 1990. Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero, Gonzalo Higuain lead the dynamic offense, but the defense is a concern, which is not good with the solid offensive teams of Nigeria and Bosnia and Herzegovina in their group.
Germany +500
Germany is playing in the Group of Death, but they are a great team that does not have a big weakness. The midfield may be the best in the tournament and they breezed through the qualification process.
Spain +650
Spain won the World Cup in 2010 and they are still a great squad rivaling Germany of the best midfield. Cesc Fabregas, Andres Iniesta, and Xabi Alonso are masters in the midfield and dominating the time of possession, but the injury concern to main striker Diego Costa is a big one.
Belgium +1300
Belgium is a young and exciting team that won their qualification group and they are balanced on offense and defense. Romelu Lukaku has a lot of pressure on him as the main striker since Christian Benteke is out with an injury. While Belgium has the talent they have not had much success in big international competitions.
Colombia +2000
Colombia is another South American team with a good offense, but they may not be a good bet since their key striker in Radamel Falcao recently pulled out of the tournament with an injury.
France +2200
France flamed out of the last World Cup finishing dead last in their group. However, while they needed a big comeback at home just to qualify for Brazil they have a good midfield and world-class FW Karim Benzema. On top of that they are playing in one of the easier groups.
England +2500
England has Wayne Rooney up front, a good midfield, and a solid defense, but can Joe Hart be the main GK? That is a big question for the team that has not had much success in the World Cup only advancing to the quarterfinals once sine they were the host in 1966 and won the tournament.
Holland +2500
Holland won their European qualifying group and they have a great offense led by Robin Van Persie. However, they have concerns on the defensive side of the pitch and are in a tough group along with Spain, who they lost to in the 2010 World Cup finals.
Italy +2500
Italy is flying under the radar in Brazil and while they play in a tough group, which includes England and Uruguay, they have the best odds to win it. They have a great midfield led by veteran Andrea Pirlo and GK Gianluigi Buffon is the anchor of the defense. Mario Balotelli is a great talent up front that is very temperamental, but one of the best when he is on his game.
Uruguay +2500
Uruguay has a solid offense led by the trio of Luis Suarez, Edinson Cavani and Diego Forlan, but they do not have a great back line defense. Still, they made the quarterfinals back in 2010 and they won the World Cup the last time it was played in Brazil back in 1950.
Portugal +3000
Portugal has, arguably, the best player in the world in Cristiano Ronaldo, but can the other players around him step up when he is bottled up and can the team make it out of the Group of Death?
Here are the odds to win the World Cup:
Brazil +300
Argentina +400
Germany +500
Spain +650
Belgium +1300
Colombia +2000
France +2200
