World Cup Odds: Best odds to win the 2010 World Cup Just a week away from the start of the most popular sporting event in the world - the World Cup 2010, we have gathered the best World Cup odds and you can see and compare below. Total of 32 football teams will compete in South Africa in a week's time and this year the popularity of the World Cup competition is expected to reach new heights - a large number of the USA population will be watching Donovan and team, long considered one of the biggest underdogs, battle to reach the famous trophy. So in order to accommodate all our readers, we have the 2010 World Cup odds from three of the most popular and respected online sportsbooks - two allowing USA bettors and one that does not, but offer better odds for UK and European bettors.

Starting with the World Cup odds at the two international sportsbooks, both welcoming USA players to bet on the soccer event - Bodog Sports and Bookmaker. At Bookmaker Spain is the favorite international team to win the 2010 World Cup with odds +385, followed by the always popular Brazil, who this time will be holding second-favorite odds to win the World Cup at +445. England made it in the top three, following a few years of poor results, but the England World Cup odds to win at Bookmaker are now +565. As you can clearly see, even the top dog Spain will pay out a very decent amount of money on a winning wager - $385 for every $100 bet, which is one of the main reasons the World Cup has always attracted heavy betting world-wide.
