World Cup Betting Tips

One of the best world cup online betting tips is to watch for the psychological factor in a fixture. Teams that are competing for the top spot will have an extra incentive to win. The same is true for teams that are in the race for qualification. If you are betting on a team to win, you should look for a high scoring match.

Before betting on a match, you should study both teams' recent results and line-ups to make a smart decision. Typically, countries do not field their strongest squad in friendlies, so you can't always be sure a team will field its strongest squad. Looking at recent results and statistics of the teams will also give you a good idea of the teams' form.

You can also make a bet that covers the whole World Cup, instead of just the group games. For example, you might want to place a bet on Spain to win the entire tournament. This is a better financial decision than placing a bet on an individual match. Moreover, the best bookmakers often have interesting specials for the World Cup. These specials may include the first goal-scorer or the correct score.

Another World Cup betting tip is to pay attention to the team's lineup. The lineups are released about 60-90 minutes before kickoff. Knowing the players' lineups can give you a big edge over the bookies.
