England have finally produced a win in what looked to be a dire World Cup campaign. Paddy Power has now released new odds on their chances at claiming a second world championship.
While Wayne Rooney may as well be absent from the entire England squad, Jermain Defoe stepped up to the plate – much to English fans’ delight – and rocketed the Three Lions into the Round of 16 with his 23rd minute winner.
As such, online bookmakers have increased England’s chances of winning the World Cup from a wayward 10/1 to 15/2. Paddy Power believes England will have no trouble taking down their next opponents, three-time world champions Germany, but they are still well behind favourites Brazil, Argentina, and Spain.

A day into the tournament, and already several big names have fallen. Bet365 has all the odds on Wimbledon this year, including plenty of interesting match-ups over the next couple of days.
Number-one seed Roger Federer had to battle from two sets down against Alejandro Falla in the opening round of The Championships. The 26-year-old Colombian took his chances against the six-time Wimbledon champion, but Federer’s experience shone through in what was an unexpected day one thriller.
Novak Djokovic and Nikolay Davydenko also had problems against their unranked opponents, forcing both matches into lengthy five-setters. Such results bode well for the unknown players at Wimbledon, as the end of a tennis era edges ever closer. Read the rest of this entry »
The World Cup is a week in, and already we’ve been privy to some fantastic football. While the goals haven’t been flowing as much as we expected, the betting opportunities have been first-rate. Bodog has all the odds.
Who would have predicted that Spain, Germany, and England would all be upset by lower ranked nations in the opening fixtures? Perhaps the biggest shock of all was last night’s 1-1 draw between reigning World Cup champions Italy and no-hopers New Zealand. Read the rest of this entry »
Here’s one last hurrah before the World Cup kicks off on Friday. Paddy Power has released another horde of novelty bets for punters to have a wager on, so head over to the online bookmaker to start winning big.
Bookies are still very worried that England might win the World Cup. If the Three Lions manage to pull off such a feat, online bookmakers are staring down the barrel of current payout odds of 8/1 – drifting from 6/1 ten days ago. While the majority of punters are tipping Argentina or the Netherlands to make an unlikely run to the World Cup final, there are still plenty of England faithfuls looking for a massive payout come the end of the tournament.
“Unusually England are yet to be the most popular team in terms of number of bets, suggesting some punters are weary of getting their fingers burnt yet again by a heart-breaking Three Lions failure,” Paddy Power spokesperson Darren Haines said. “It may also be a case that a more betting savvy nation is increasingly gambling with its head than its heart, but even though they may not be the most backed team, bookies still fear the potential payout on an England victory more than any other team.”
Here are a few of the latest bets that you can enjoy at Paddy Power, but be sure to head over to the online bookie for the complete list of standard and novelty World Cup bets.

With the World Cup being held in Africa for the very first time, Paddy Power has released a number of lucrative bets for punters to enjoy. Have a bet on a Desmond Tutu (2-2 draw), but don’t mention the Bore War (0-0 draw).
Despite being the host nation, South Africa aren’t even expected to get out of their group, let alone contest the knockout stages. As it stands, Bafana Bafana are sitting on odds of 7/4 to qualify for the Round of 16, but odds of 7/5 to finish bottom of their group.
Those football crazy folks at Paddy Power have even created a few humorous bets that are certain to entice any history buffs. Bore Wars and Desmond Tutu draws will be running throughout the tournament, but, hopeful of an exciting World Cup, odds for four or more Desmonds are sitting at just 8/11.
