England’s World Cup Chances Grow

Posted In: Football, Sports Betting

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 Few More WC Novelties

Posted In: Football, Promotions, Sports Betting

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.

Unique England WC Odds

Posted In: Football, Sports Betting

After a poor showing against Japan on Sunday, England’s World Cup chances took a heavy blow at online bookmakers. Paddy Power has just posted a huge selection of odds exclusively on the England football team.

The English side have dropped from 6/1 to 7/1 in World Cup Outrights, and now sit on level odds with Argentina behind Spain and Brazil. While they didn’t play well against Japan, fans can at least take comfort in knowing that the final squad is still yet to be decided. That will be Fabio Capello’s job on Tuesday, and several key players are expected to face the axe. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s been an exciting two weeks of Twenty20 Cricket in the West Indies, but now it’s time to get down to the nitty-gritty. Paddy Power has a plethora of betting options on the semi-finals, specifically between that of England and Sri Lanka.

If England manages to pull off a win, as the bookies expect them to, it will be their first World Cup final since 1992. There’s a lot riding on Thursday’s semi-final, but so far they have already managed to knock off Pakistan, New Zealand, and South Africa. Of course, even if they do reach the final they will in all likelihood have to face the tournament’s toughest opponents: Australia. Read the rest of this entry »
