The 2010 World Cup will be a truly historic sports betting even and online wagering companies all over the world will be showcasing every element of the largest sporting event on earth. Every World Cup is memorable but this summer’s edition of the largest sports wagering event in the universe will truly be remarkable as it will be the first time that any major sports betting event will be held on the African continent.
The World Cup has been held on nearly every other populated continent but never in Africa. Hence, the eyes of the entire sports betting world and the online wagering community will be on Africa and it will be tremendous opportunity for the continent to showcase itself to the world.
South Africa will play host to the biggest event on the online wagering event in 2010 and it should be a huge success. Online wagering companies have been listing World Cup betting odds for the past year or two and demand for the betting lines has sky-rocketed in the past few months as the start date fast approaches.
At the end of the day the online wagering is what sports betting fans are most interested in and the online wagering companies are keenly aware of this as they’ve rolled out many new and exciting online wager features for the ’10 World Cup.
The competition should be fantastic as well as there are easy at least a half a dozen teams that could leave South Africa hoisting the Golden Ball high overhead.
As with most World Cup betting events, Brazil is among the favorites to win its record setting sixth World Cup betting title. The traditional powerhouse is as good as ever and easily won the World Cup betting warm up tournament, the Confederations Cup in ’09.
Spain is the co-favorite to win this year’s World Cup betting competition and the online wagering experts like this team’s chances after winning the Euro Cup for the first time in ’08.
But the beauty of the World Cup betting is that no one knows which team will win the event until the whistle blows and the action begins. And that’s why more sports betting fans will follow this event and make an online wager on it than any other sporting event this year.
