The World Cup is on us & I have been taking a look at what they can do to increase our betting profits... yes it is that point in the calendar where the whole world turns its focus to a footy fest
The pundits & bookmakers appear to think that England have a lovely chance of getting to the later stages of the event with French Fabio Capello at the helm. England are currently third favourites behind France, who were the deserved champions of Euro 2008 & naturally probably the world's most popular team Brazil.
Its simple to see why France & Brazil are expected to win when you look at the number of outstanding players they see from these countries in our European leagues. This years' event begins on Friday 11th June with the host nation South Africa playing Mexico.
It is going to be a profitable betting event for bookmakers with all matches being shown live on tv & shown all over the world. Because of this lots of bookmakers have "special offers" to entice you to put your bets with them & by utilising these they can improve the profitability & returns on our betting activities whilst enjoying the footy.
all of footy pundits have reduced the 2010 World Cup winners to one of three teams, Brazil, France & England. Putting it bluntly & going against the grain I don't think England have what it takes given that both France & Brazil have comprehensively outplayed them, albeit in friendly matches recently.
That leaves the six favourites, not rocket science but by placing our bets in a positive way they can improve our potential profitability by 44%.
This is the "Edge" that strategic betting can provide. In this example it is achieved by using a couple of bookmaker offers:-
Fun88 - will refund all losing bets in the outright winner market if England wins the World Cup.
Mansion88 - will refund all losing bets in the outright winner market if France wins the World Cup.
They place our bets
SPAIN to WIN World Cup @ 4/1 with Fun88
BRAZIL to WIN World Cup @ 9/2 with Mansion88.
By combining these simple bets with a couple of bookmaker offers they have improved our average potential return on investment by 44%.
