We here in the U.S. understand betting during big sporting events. During the Super Bowl, for instance, you can lay down money on who will win the coin flip, who will score first...and the list goes on.
European World Cup fans will have the same kind of sports betting smorgasboard to consider as the games march on and get closer to the grand finale.
Some sample bets you are able to make:
- 10-1 odds that England will meet host Germany for the World Cup title. The last time the two met in the finals was 1966 - exactly 40 years ago.
- One English better staked 200,000 English pounds that his country would win the Cup. If they do, he will win a whopping 1.3 million pounds.
And, you can even bet on the more bizarre events during the game. A few revolve around English soccer superstar, David Beckham:
- After getting sick on the field during England's last game, oddsmen have established 5-1 odds that Beckham will get sick on the field during England's next match!
- Speaking of "Barfing Beckham", you can take 500-1 odds that he will throw-up in the World Cup trophy cup should the English win the whole thing.
Only in England...and only during the World Cup!
